While it plays for the right to play for a college football national championship, Alabama wants to bring attention to its success in the classroom.
The Crimson Tide will be wearing stickers on their helmets to honor what Bleacher Report’s Barrett Sallee reports is a national record amount of graduates on the team’s roster.
This past fall semester, the Crimson Tide had a total of 29 players earn their degree, three of which earned their master’s. The 29 graduates ranks three ahead of second-place Temple among bowl teams.
In fact, according to the school, only six teams even had at least 20 or more graduates playing in the bowl game: Temple (26), Kansas State (22), Cincinnati (21), Marshall (20) and Middle Tennessee (20).
