The University of Alabama has one crystal trophy to show for its two national championships in football in the past three years after the latest award was accidentally shattered.
The $30,000 trophy was knocked off its podium after the team’s spring scrimmage in Tuscaloosa three days ago when a player’s father bumped the table it was on after getting his foot caught in a tablecloth, athletic department spokesman Jeff Purinton said in an e-mail. The school is looking into having it replaced.
