Yikes - not that I’m a SI fan per se but I wonder what this means for Bama Central - one of the largest sources of (free) Bama coverage, especially for the “other” sports.

They were also using AI to write stories for them. They used AI Generated images for the writers profile pic.


Sports Illustrated turned into trash. See ya!

Wonder if SI is still building a resort in Tuscaloosa? I am guessing that is on hold.

The image of Tyra Banks in a polka dot bikini is seared into my brain forever.

As of this morning Bama Central is still being updated so maybe it was just the Sports Illustrated ‘magazine’ that was impacted?


Scanned the article (Evelyn Wood style) and it sounds like some company bought the rights to the SI brand and was licensing it out. Whoever purchased the rights defaulted on a payment so the rights were revoked.

As long as Bama coverage continues, all good.

I loved getting my SI every week back in the day. I have the national championship covers framed hanging up at work. All good things come to an end. I loved my playboy mags also lol, can’t frame and hang those though, at least at my place.

Will this affect the sports resort in Tuscaloosa north of the river?
