it’s crazy. My son just started his senior year of high school and will be announced National Merit soon and got a 35 ACT. The numbers Alabama is showing him are unbelievable. They offer 4 year full ride, stipends and study abroad not to mention a 5th year of tuition so you can get an MBA your 4th and 5th yr.

This right here. My son graduated high school last year and chose Alabama for the same reasons. We live in MS and just moved my son into his dorm at Bama this past weekend. He had a lot of college options (National Merit Scholar, ACT 34, SAT 1550, and Salutatorian of his class) but couldn't turn down the crazy amount of money Alabama was offering - five years tuition, housing for four years, $4000 a year for four years stipend, and study aboard money. For that kind of money, I'll say "Roll Tide" even though a little part of me dies inside.
