Alabama was #1 in the nation -- but, this time, in men's college basketball. As of right now, they are #2 to Houston, 24-4 and 14-1 in the SEC.
... and a dark cloud is hanging over the program, to the extent that one Yardbarker reporter, Alex Lang, has called for the at least temporary termination of the Alabama basketball program.
It goes back to an on-campus murder by former Crimson Tide basketball player Darius Miles. A police investigator has named star freshman Brandon Miller in the murder, as he testified that Miller brought the gun to Miles the night of the murder.
It should not be much of any discussable point that, in many states, such an act is an accessory before the act -- and, in many states, he's chargeable.
And since this act took place January 15 -- yes, I know this is the LEAST of the situation, we have a fucking MURDER HERE!!!!! -- but Miller is criminally culpable to the point of Murder One, and, hence, ineligible from that date forward.
At which point, the Tide should be compelled to terminate it's season, New Mexico State-style.
The problem is, they're in too deep now. Even taking just the basketball part of this, Miller's involvement, even to the extent alleged, means he is ineligible and has been at least a month.
But this is Alabama, and if you don't think there isn't a "If we can't have it, no one will" culture in the SEC, I point to $Cam Newton and Auburn.
