Just a guess but maybe Alabama asked if we could switch years as they were looking for another home game in 2018? They will have their 3rd coach in 3 years so maybe this one is trying to balance out the schedule and Berry obliged to help out. The ath dept "needs the money" seems more plausible but with baseball already drawing good crowds how much more would a road game at Bama help out compared to having them play at our place.
