You’re never going to compete with Bama on a yearly basis. Give it up. Bama football is ALL THAT STATE HAS GOING FOR IT. They put EVERYTHING THEY HAVE INTO IT because of that. Like it or not, having the Saints in Louisiana hurts LSU. Having any major pro sports team in the same state hurts your college sports. It gives the businesses (and people) somewhere else yo spend their money.

This is total nonsense

Alabama has 2 major SEC programs in the state. That is most definitely a more direct competitor for NIL and talent than a pro team who does not ask for donations or investors to a fund to pay its players. The NFL sustains itself off its own revenue (novel concept). It’s not like people are writing out checks to the Saints to ensure they can pay the best safety in free agency

Alabama has money to spend and is crushing it in recruiting because they’ve been crushing it in recruiting for 2 straight decades which has lead to insane success which has lead to a massive influx of money from revenue, donors, and increase out of state students paying out of state tuition fees so they can root for the Dark Side. It’s not because they don’t have a pro team
