TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Because University of Alabama officials are known for milking every last dollar out of the revenue streams stemming from Crimson Tide football, they might look back on the 2015 training camp and see a missed opportunity.
The school could have sold the quarterback competition as a month-long television show, complete with Nick Saban and Lake Kiffin handing a football to the ones who survived to the next week or stage, and those eliminated relegated to the scout team and reserve duty.
Considering the way Crimson Tide fans have been clamoring to find out anything and everything they can about who might be in the lead, it could have potentially drawn huge ratings locally and helped pay for whatever facility improvements Nick Saban wants next.
