As sleazy as Jimbo is, the asshøle in this little play is Saban.
He started some major shlt by not only going after ATM, but then throwing in Miami and Jackson State, which has certainly made many people wonder why those two schools.
So while I think he did defame not only ATM but Miami and Jackson State, ATM is not going to want to have anything to do with a defamation lawsuit because, as you know better than me, there’s discovery. And their hands are just as dirty as Alabama’s.
So this is their best shot, try for some SEC internal punishment and negative publicity through a hand slap to Saban.
