What Nate Oats said about Alabama<\/a> basketball’s return to C.M. Newton Classic in Birmingham<\/p>\n

\u201cThe crowd brings incredible energy and the C.M. Newton Classic is a special event that gives us a chance to compete in a great environment while honoring a meaningful legacy,” Oats said.<\/p>\n

The C.M. Newton Classic honors the life and legacy of Alabama basketball coaching legend C.M. Newton, who made strides in breaking down racial barriers during his 12-year tenure, as well as contributions to the way the game itself is played, including, but not limited to, the three-point line that Oats loves so much.<\/p>\n

At the game, the Legacy Builder campaign will highlight Birmingham-area nonprofits that dedicate their work to the same values \u2212 diversity, inclusion and community leadership \u2212 Newton upheld prior to his death in 2018.<\/p>\n

According to Knight Eady, a Birmingham-based sports marketing and event company, $40,000 have been donated to local organizations through Legacy Builder since the event’s inception in 2021.<\/p>\n
