If I was a player then I would spend all of my time outside of class and games in that building. Stunningkdog27 wrote:About the only thing Alabama has going against itself in recruiting is that the campus is kind of a dump compared to other SEC schools.
Something tells me a few local school districts, food pantries and homeless shelters could have used that wasted money a little more. Ridiculous.A recent study says Tuscaloosa is not alone in that regard.
About three-quarters of Alabama's 67 counties saw a rise in the poverty rate among children ages 5 to 17 between 2007 and 2009, according to a study released this month by the University of Alabama.
Data studied by UA's Center for Business and Economic Research looked at U.S. Census estimates through 2009. The center found a higher percentage of children living in poverty in West Alabama than in the state as a whole.
The number of children living in poverty in West Alabama's 10 counties — many of them in the historically poor Black Belt — ranged from almost 23 percent in Tuscaloosa County to almost half the total number of children in Perry County.
The study found that one in five children nationally live in poverty, but in Alabama the rate was 24.6 percent, almost one in four. Tuscaloosa County had 22.6 percent of its children living in poverty and was the only West Alabama county below the state average.
Valid point, Tom. I didn't realize how poor that part of the state is.Redwingtom wrote:Interesting that money can be found/donated to build worthless s**t like this, but kids are starving in Tuscaloosa.
