Alabama must have a different definition of what "disassociated" means
http://outkickthecoverage.com/disassocia...rogram.php

Quote:A couple of years ago Alabama disassociated the booster from the program after he sold lots of player autographs. Alabama argued -- wink and nod -- that the players had no idea their autographs were being sold.

Well, our old buddy Tom has a new website and a new business, he's dropped the suits. Now he just sells Crimson Tide memorabilia.

So what's on the front page of the website?

Autographed jerseys from AJ McCarron, TJ Yeldon, and Amari Cooper.

Quote:In its letter disassociating him from the program Alabama instructed Al-betar as follows, "You should refrain from obtaining any items of memorabilia from our student-athletes, including used equipment and apparel. You should also refrain from obtaining autographs from our student-athletes when they are in your store."

Despite Alabama's hectoring letter, Al-betar didn't just "refrain from obtaining any items of memorabilia from our student-athletes," he opened a memorabilia store designed to sell these objects!

Amazing. And yet nothing will happen to the Crimson Tide. This is what a "disassociated booster" looks like.

They're now frantically pulling all the game worn gear and autographs off the website. Nothing to see here, kids.

So it never happened. Good enough for the NCAA, as far as Alabama is concerned
