TUSCALOOSA, Ala. - Alabama loved its crystal football to pieces. By Saturday night, that's all that remained of the Crimson Tide's glittering reward for winning the last BCS national championship.

The AFCA Coaches Trophy met its early demise following Saturday's A-Day Game at a team function. Only shards of Waterford Crystal remained by Monday evening. Valued at $30,000, the now-iconic award was first presented in 1986.

A university spokesperson says the father of a current player accidentally toppled the trophy when he stumbled on a rug that was under the trophy display. The Tuscaloosa News reports that officials aren't releasing the name of the man.
