We all have our reasons
The presidents of Birmingham-Southern College and Samford University say the University of Alabama shouldn't use so much of its endowment to offer freebies to National Merit Scholars.
They say it's because the program is a huge gift to students from wealthy backgrounds who otherwise probably would have gone to private universities, and they're right to a degree. The fact that UA landed 68 Merit Scholars last fall while BSC and Samford combined only got 11 probably has nothing to do with it.
