Princetons winning by alot!!

Due to my own curiosity i wondered HOw many championships ALABAMA HAS and am sharing what i have found...How many do you think they have??

more info:

This means that at any given time, anywhere from 10 to 15 or more entities were crowning champions each year. As a consequence, it was rare for all of the selectors to unanimously choose a champion in a particular year. How rare? From 1900 through 2006, only 14 teams won unanimous titles.

To make matters even more confusing, some of the selectors awarded their national championship to teams prior to the postseason bowl games. Others, such as Parke Davis, awarded national championships retroactively in 1933 to teams that played between 1869 and 1932, based on historical research.

oops change it..

If those five iffy national championships are taken away from the bottom line, that leaves Alabama with seven titles. Seven is the number recognized by many major national media outlets, including ESPN.

I dont hate alabama!

There is an ongoing investigation at the moment in the University of Alabama compliance department, concerning whether or not Marcel Dareus broke NCAA rules by attending an agent's party in Miami earlier this summer.

Dareus is considered one of top 10 NFL draft prospects for next year and is allegedly one of numerous college football players to have contact with NFL sports agents.

The NCAA is investigating the matter to determine who paid for the transportation to Miami and other expenses while Marcel Darius was there. This comes on the heels of the incident with Maurkice Pouncey of Florida that allegedly accepting $100,000 from an agent's representative prior to last year's Sugar bowl.

Let's all hope that this ends up being nothing and that Marcel Dareus can play all next year and there is no effects on Alabama football program

“I don’t know that I would disagree with him about some agents as pimps, but all I know is there are coaches who would also fall in that category,” said Cindrich, who represents the Jets’ D’Brickashaw Ferguson, among others. “I would never tolerate nor permit Saban or any other coach to lump me in that category.

“In terms of him throwing that out there, most agents know what goes on in college programs and what programs are clean or not. You want to find out who has the dirty programs, give immunity and go off the record with agents, and it would be like a cockfight, the last one standing wins.

“There are ways to determine the truth of allegations out there.”

Saban unloaded on agents because the N.C.A.A. and the SEC are investigating allegations that Alabama defensive lineman Marcell Dareus received  improper benefits from an agent. Dareus is projected as a first-round pick in the 2011 N.F.L. draft, but he could lose his college eligibility if the allegations prove to be true.

Saban said the N.F.L. should do a better job of policing agents. If not, he said, perhaps N.F.L. scouts and agents should be banned from campuses and be made to evaluate players some other way.

“We need to create some consequences for people who are not doing the right things here, which starts with the agent, in my opinion, who is entrapping and taking advantage of young people,” Saban said. “There’s a lot of good agents out there that don’t do this stuff.”

There has been a barrage of accusations of agents giving benefits to college players, which has resulted in N.C.A.A. investigations at North Carolina, South Carolina and Florida this week. Southern California was severely sanctioned by the N.C.A.A. because Reggie Bush received improper benefits from an agent.

The N.C.A.A. is investigating an allegation that the former Florida offensive lineman Maurkice Pouncey, a first-round pick of the Steelers, received $100,000 from an agent last December before the Gators’ Sugar Bowl game against Cincinnati. Mike Pouncey, his twin brother, said here that the allegation was false.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution is reporting that the N.C.A.A. is investigating whether Georgia players received improper benefits from agents.

“It’s an epidemic, and the epidemic needs to get fixed,” said Urban Meyer, the Florida coach. Meyer said the Gators have security around the team, not to keep away fans, but to keep agents and their representatives from contacting players.

Im glad your OK with the SEC buying championships, i guess since USC bought one recently, you dont begrudge them anything Train!

Cindrich speifically said:

"Like violations. Like payola. I mean, I testify in these things, guys. There's so much money - are you guys really serious? Are you that naive to think that there really isn't thousands of dollars in payola given to players to play each Saturday?"
