A VISION BECOMES REALITYTHE UNIVERSITY OF ALABAMA. 2003 - 2010

In 2003, President Robert E. Witt announced that, by 2013, The University of Alabama would become a university of choice

for the best and brightest; become a Tier One research university; become an academic community committed to serving the

state of Alabama; and increase enrollment to 28,000. The University has achieved three of these goals and made substantial

Alabama wins national championship No. 13,defeats Texas 37-21

The No. 1 ranked Alabama football team held true to its ranking, defeating second-ranked Texas 37-21 in the 2010 BCS National Championship at the Rose Bowl in Pasa-dena. The 2009 national championship is the 13th in Alabama history. The victory in Pasadena comes 84 years after Alabama won its first national championship in the 1926 Rose Bowl game and makes this the fifth Alabama team to end their national champion-ship campaign at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena.

The University of Alabama football team is honored by president Barack Obama at the White House.

Sophomore running back Mark Ingram etched his name into Crimson Tide lore by becoming the first Alabama player to win the Heisman Trophy. Ingram was presented the 75th Heisman Memorial Trophy at the Nokia Theatre in Times Square in a live announcement on ESPN.

Mark ingram wins Heisman TrophyUA moved from No. 5 to No. 2 nationally in Collegiate Licensing’s collegiate

merchandise sales for 2009-2010, largely due to the success of our 2009 national championship in football. Our sales of national championship mer-chandise set a new record as the largest in CLC history. In September 2010, CLC projected that UA would finish the year with more than $8 million in royalty income; half of that money will be used to fund National Merit Scholarships for UA students.
