“Isaiah Crowell has started a phenomenon at Alabama State,” (Alabama State Head Coach Reggie) Barlow said. “Most coaches would say having one transfer is good. We played five games on television this year. I think that was the Isaiah Crowell effect and then there are positive things going on in our program — new facilities, we’re winning, a lot of buzz.”

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution is today reporting that dismissed Georgia running back Isaiah Crowell is considering a transfer to Alabama State University. Yet another example of HBCUs bailing out a athlete in trouble – real or perceived.
Could Alabama State use a top-tier running back? Absolutely. What HBCU program couldn’t? But if there’s smoke about a Division I athlete who didn’t care to consider an HBCU until facing gun charges and expulsion, why is it Alabama State’s role to play firefighter?
