Block on Trump's Asylum Ban Upheld by Supreme Court
Four members of the University of Alabama's football team were arrested in relation to a pair of campus robberies. This prompts the snide joke: Was Nick Saban not paying them enough?
The four accused are all freshman players from the championship squad: Dennis "D.J." Pettway, Tyler Hayes, Brent Calloway, and Eddie Williams who redshirted last year, reports CNN.
Police say that Pettway, Hayes and Williams beat a fellow student unconscious before stealing his laptop computer. A short time later, police say that Williams beat another student unconscious and stole his wallet.

Williams and Calloway are accused of using the second victim's debit card to buy snacks from a vending machine, according to CNN. Geniuses. All four players were suspended from the football team indefinitely.
