Alabama Basketball Reshapes Front Court on The Joe Gaither Show

Let's fire up a Thursday edition of "The Joe Gaither Show on BamaCentral" with Theo Fernandez as we discuss Greg Byrne's commentary on the NCAA's future to a panel, Jamarion Davis-Fleming transferring to Alabama, and a wild crime involving a former Crimson Tide football player.

The program opens with Fernandez detailing an event he attented at the University of Alabama where athletic director Greg Byrne discussed his outlook on the future of the NCAA. Fernandez revealed a positive outlook for college athletics despite dealing with several unique challenges. How is the Crimson Tide athletic department navigating a world where the rules seem more like suggestions?
