Review of “Bama Profiles in Courage: Laykin”: (Capers) Barr flexes through an emotional range that most writers would never dare attempt … Humor and Bama sorrow are fused together like twined tree trunks that keep each other standing…..It’s part satire, part character study, with a wry lens on fame, fandom, and the modern South. Well done, Capers, well done.”– Ian Allen, The Times Literary Supplement.

November 28th. The College Football Playoff rankings were announced, and once again, the biased mainstream media overlooked Alabama’s impressive record. Despite being a classy and traditional team, Bama was ranked seventh in that poll and was portrayed as needing a “lot of help” from other teams losing their Conference Championship games.

However, events were about to take a dramatic turn as an old and powerful Collective began to subtly re-exert its influence on the college football landscape.

The following posts and interviews will eventually be released as a book in the spring of 2023.

The Book and the Collective

Earlier this Fall, a major publishing house approached me with an intriguing offer: Would I be interested in investigating and writing a book about an anonymous group or a “collective” of influential College Football boosters and captains of industry, exposing their tactics in shaping the CFB Playoff landscape?

This Collective, whose origins were whispered to date back to 1961 along with legendary coach Bear Bryant, wielded a formidable influence. Using an eclectic mix of overt and covert tactics, such as targeted smear campaigns, data theft, bribery, and the use of old-fashioned Russian “honeytraps”, they could strike at Bama’s enemies with precision and ruthless efficiency.

I quickly accepted the offer.

The publisher gave me a phone number to reach a well-placed source within the “Kern Place Collective” (KPC), an organization rumored to be aligned with a wealthy Alabama donor. It took days and weeks of exchanging encrypted texts, but I was finally able to persuade him to meet with me.

The story that follows is one that SEC football fans have been familiar with for years. However, it has now become a spectacle for all of college football to see: the “Bama Privilege”. It sounds like a so far-fetched narrative that it can’t be possibly be true about a corrupted and warped team exerting its power over the rest of the college football world.
