  University of Alabama - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In 1818, Congress authorized the newly-created Alabama Territory to set aside a township for the establishment of a "seminary of learning." When Alabama was admitted to the Union on March 2, 1819, a second township was added to the land grant, bringing it to a total of 46,000 acres (186 km²).
The General Assembly of Alabama established the seminary on December 18, 1820, and named it "The University of the State of Alabama." It was set up in Tuscaloosa, then-capital of Alabama, in 1827 and opened its doors to students on April 18, 1831.

Their actions and attitudes force universities to hold at arms length and to develop an investigative, even an adversarial, stance with the vast majority of responsible and reputable representatives and supporters of their universities and athletics programs whose interest and support are critical to the continued health of an athletics program and university.
Because of the university's repeat-violator history, including its experience with athletics representative misconduct, the number and seriousness of the violations, the visibility, prominence, and known predilections of the athletics representatives at the center of the violations, the committee seriously considered whether a finding of failure of institutional control might be warranted.
Although Alabama assistant coach B claimed that he spoke with athletics representative A on the telephone a total of 12 to 14 times during the seven years he was at Alabama, the records show 68 calls from January 1999 to October 2000 alone.
