Sponsor Sen. Jabo Waggoner (who, btw, attended Birmingham-Southern on a basketball scholarship) says he hopes SB31 can be considered in the Alabama Senate this week, per AL.com.

There is some opposition (despite the majority number of co-sponsors) led by Sen. Arthur Orr,  chair of the Senate's Finance and Taxation education committee; however, while Orr has clout as chairman of the education budget committee, Waggoner has influence as chair of the Rules Committee, which determines what bills come to the Senate floor (liberal cut and pasting from the article here).

SB31 has passed in the State Senate 23-5 (with 7 absent) and has been read in the House, where it has been referred to the House Ways & Means Committee.  A few changes to the qualifications, the most significant that a bank not currently involved with the institution must certify the collateral pledged is sufficient:

QuoteCollateral shall be deemed sufficient if a college or university provides an opinion letter from a bank that is not a current creditor of the college or university making application and that is registered to do business in the State of Alabama and is regulated by the State Banking Department which states that the collateral offered by the college or university is sufficient to secure the requested amount of the loan

On the ASC board the UMHB are speculating about their schedule.  Here is what BSC has for 2024, as long as we have a school.....I'm tired of saying that.

Opening game is TBD.  So if any ASC teams needs an opening weekend game, we are available.

I still don't understand why LaGrange won't play BSC.

Do you think BSC would want to come to Texas two times this year?

I'm sure if UMHB is willing to pay for the trip, we'd be more than happy do it.  We have met McMurry in Little Rock the last couple years, maybe Shreveport would work for the two of us.

They backed out on us, not sure why.  We've struggling ever since to fill week one.

Hearings are now scheduled for Alabama SB31 on Tuesday, 11:30AM, and Wednesday, 2:00PM.

The thing is, they ended up with no game in week 1 either year and only played 9 games both years since they dropped you guys. Looking back at scores, 2021 was kind of a blowout but for the most part games have usually been competitive so it's not like they were getting steamrolled all the time. Just can't figure it out.

I wouldn't mind seeing us get a series with Maryville.  With 8 conference games and our game with Huntingdon, it only leaves one game a year to see someone new.  Maybe one of the Louisiana schools would be interested in getting on the schedule.
