If Saban were still here, he'd bitch about NIL/Portal, stubbornly resist it for a season or two, and then finally embrace it and destroy everyone else. The problem for Alabama is that Saban left half way through that progression. He bitched about it (Hello, Jimbo), resisted it, and then retired. So the university has been playing catch up for months now. Where we go from here remains to be seen.

My daughter is on the cheer team at Alabama as an LSU fan yeah that’s that’s another story but it pisses me off that Alabama doesn’t give her or and of cheerleaders any money for scholarship and it’s basically a year round job to be on the cheer team , all the early morning workouts the evening practices, all the events they do it’s not just football and pom-poms believe me it’s Very involved and they earn something more than a lousy $1500 a semester considering that it cost $50,000 a year to attend from out of state

Frick Alabama and the NIL BS.

If you drive the campus in Tuscaloosa, it is a beautiful campus with brand new buildings everywhere. Give me a break that they don’t have money.

Who forced her to join the team? Does any other university provide the compensation you want her to have?

Translation - give us a bunch of money to give to players that don't give a damn about the school you love.

What a terrible name - yea Alabama. I’d think it would make more sense to be called Roll Tide NIL Club

Fine by me. It's high time those Alabama inbreds began huffing exhaust fumes.

Byrne is a snake oil salesman and a pos.

Wasn't Byrne a key player in the 15 year Learfield deal that motivated Saban to retire?
The Learfield center at the stadium is run by mostly Texans.

So, is Alabama being squeezed by counter-offers?
