re: Did the NIL kill Bama football?

I don't personally think so. I think saban has been paying for players for years under the table somehow including the dodge charger gate. It's just been too obvious. But due to the revenue it has brought amongst the SEC and the national spotlight, I do see why they would keep it under wraps. I mean Jimbo spoke on it a little bit, but there's a reason why coaches don't ever talk about that stuff, and we all know it happens. At the end of the day, it's literally all about the money. Literally MONEY. So, no I don't think it killed bama, although I think the playing field has been leveled and every team now can do what they've been doing for years.

Now, don't get me wrong I think NIL has been a long time coming. Playing players for football should have been a thing from the start. NCAA is a joke. The amount of work these young men put in to not get paid a dime was a crime, but glad its fixed now.
