That's what I was thinking as well. we can use the BJCC for a year, as they build the new arena & as others have stated..Partner the construction with the City Of Tuscaloosa & allow it to host conventions, concerts & other activities, when we're not having B'Ball games, that would bring in money to help repay for the arena..It way past due for a new B'Ball arena for Bama B'Ball & shut the "Bama Is Only A Football School" 'Haters" the the hell up once & for all..
Bama is historically the 2nd best B'Ball Program in the history of the SEC behing Kentucky & it's time to put our money where our mouth is & show the rest of the NCAA, that Bama is a multi sport juggernaut,Softball, in the NCAA & we truly are..Football, Gymnastic, Golf, Bass Fishing(don't laugh cause it's true), and at one time, we were really really good in both Men's & Women B'Ball, and Baseball as well..Bama isn't a "One Trick Football Pony" that other fan-bases thinks we are & it's time to prove that on the B'Ball court, in a new B'Ball Arena, that will tremendously help out, our new energetic Head B'Ball Coach in building that "Fence" around The State Of Alabama, by keeping our stud 5*'s B'Ball recruits, that seems like Kentucky, takes from us every other year, when we have them in the State Of Alabama ever so often..
Not like they were showing up on campus either.
