This whole conversation is so weird. I don't want to knock Bama but lets not pretend it is an elite university, even in the South. The elite southern colleges are Duke, Vandy, Emory, Rice, Davidson and one or two others. The Southern kids with the smarts and the $ went to these schools or went North for their education. Princeton always had a substantial group of Southerners. Even John C Calhoun, who was as Southern as you can get went to Yale.
