The Battle Plan is very lengthy this week but includes a lot of information about the financial side of the athletic program, a very interesting read.

After eight straight football games, it is a welcome relief to enjoy an open date week. However good or bad a team is playing after a stretch like we've gone through, the cumulative mental and physical stress on players, individually and as a team, gets to be quite heavy. A few days of rest can have a very positive effect, not only on a team's freshness of legs and healing of nicks and bruises, but an even greater effect on mental freshness. Our last two opponents enjoyed that extra week off prior to playing the Crimson Tide, which made our task even more difficult.

I believe you're on the money, CBB.

The $50 million goal for athletics was met in three years. Mal thought Dr. Witt would tell him to stop, but Dr. Witt told him to keep going for the duration of the campaign. Over the ensuing two years, another $20 million was raised through the generosity of athletics department donors. That $120 million led to the Bryant-Denny Stadium north end zone addition of suites and premium seating, the Walk of Champions outside the north end zone, the renovation of Coleman Coliseum, the soccer field, the indoor tennis stadium and other meaningful athletic facilities. It also helped attract Coach Saban to the University, as well as other coaches and student-athletes.

Money talks. :clap:
