Below I made a comment about the host institution's choice of songs played during warmups before the Iron Bowl.
I am glad to report that the song choice was that of a rogue individual, and was not approved or sanctioned by the institution. Indeed the institution summarily fired that individual.
The following is from the AP:
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) - The University of Alabama
has fired an employee who played songs aimed at Auburn quarterback Cam
Newton before the Iron Bowl.
University spokeswoman Debbie Lane said Monday
that the part-time staffer was fired for the unauthorized songs. "Take
the Money and Run" and "Son of a Preacher Man" were played while Newton
and the Tigers warmed up. The NCAA has been investigating allegations
that Newton's father, a pastor, solicited $180,000 from Mississippi
State during recruiting.
Lane said in a statement that all music and videos
played in the stadium before and during games have to be approved by a
senior athletic administrator. She said the staffer - who was not named -
didn't get those songs cleared." Nasreddin Hodja
