5. It's normal for a major football program to use off-campus police ... if it pays them.
Alabama isn't alone when it comes to non-campus law enforcement working game days. The difference, at least in the Southeastern Conference, is that Alabama's the only one not paying for it.
- In January, the Baton Rouge Police Department invoiced LSU for $355,320 for policing seven home games at 102,321-seat Tiger Stadium in 2014, according to documents received by SB Nation.
- Georgia receives monthly invoices from the Athens-Clarke County Police Department for "on-campus and post-event traffic patrols" at 92,746-seat Sanford Stadium. UGA provided SB Nation a paid invoice that claims $45,048.19 for four home games' work in 2014.
- The College Station Police Department confirmed Texas A&M does reimburse for on-campus policing on game days and provided SB Nation with a payroll summary that claims $34,858.57 for the 2014 season.
- The Columbia Police Department provided SB Nation a reimbursed invoice that claims $10,080 for policing on campus during the 2014 Missouri football season.
- The Lexington Police Department provided SB Nation a reimbursed invoice that claims $32,304.98 for the same for time frame for Kentucky.
- South Carolina and Tennessee stated that they contract local and regional law enforcement as temporary university employees for game day policing. The Starkville (Miss.) Police Department confirmed the same structure with Mississippi State.
- At Auburn, the campus and city police forces are one.
- A spokesperson for the Nashville Metro Police Department stated that they do not work Vanderbilt football games.
- Local police departments for Florida (Gainesville), Ole Miss (Oxford) and Arkansas (Fayetteville) confirmed they receive reimbursement for officers working in stadium and on-campus. Ole Miss also confirmed that the university police department employs off-campus police at an hourly rate on game days.
No other SEC program receiving outside police or emergency services on campus and/or in its stadium during football game days operated without a form of compensation, according to documents received in our reporting.
