I tend to agree but we are about to find out in the next two seasons if it holds true

Pretty sure Harbert is a billionaire, but he’s a barner, so…

Rich folks didnt get rich by spending their money on stupid things like buying temporary allegiance of an entitled 18 year old kid

Id rather burn my money than contribute to the ruin of something I loved. CFB cannot maintain this and it needs to be reformed quickly

"NIL is the future"

Well, count me out then.

Allowing players to make money off their name, image, and likeness is fine, but that isn't what's happening.

This shite is terrible for the sport long term.

That is the key!!!

How long with the Paul Bryant Jr's send their children and grand childrens money to pay for this shite?

The recruiting pool character will only get worse.

Exactly, the greedy arse University wont let the club teams with student's paying tuition to use the Bama logo but these football players can use it all for free to sell their stupid merch, then bolt when they find a bigger bag down the road

Not true. I personally know two huge boosters for Alabama. One, was the owner of progress rail. They make the tracks of the railroad. He sold the company to caterpillar for 3.8 billion dollars. His name is Bill Ainsworth. His son is lieutenant governor of Alabama, Will. I used to date his daughter, Shannon. And yes I fricked it up, lol. Anyways I forget the amount bill and will give the university. I'm sure it's a mind blowing amount. Second booster is Keith and Janet Bennett. He owns kabco homes. They make manufacturing homes. Or trailers. I've personally seen the brick in the stadium of where it says they give a million plus on the stadium. Keith is a multimillionaire. I am best friends with their kids, Kyle and brad. But long story short, yes there is some people in the state of Alabama with some really deep pockets. Believe that.
