The MDB is a huge part of football at Alabama and I heard a rumor there will no longer be band scholarships offered.
Any truth to this? It could sure affect the quality of product.

Yup. Band funds are being moved towards NIL funds for recruiting purposes.

University Band Scholarships
As an incoming (new) student, Million Dollar Band and Large Concert Performance Ensemble Scholarships are offered to deserving students based upon musical ability and the needs of the band program. University Band scholarships are available to all incoming students, regardless of major, and amounts range from $500.00 to $1000.00 per year. These scholarships are renewable for up to four years as long as the student completes an audition, is selected, and participates in the ensemble. Students who perform in both the marching band and a concert ensemble are eligible for additional scholarship awards, based on the results of the concert ensemble auditions. All University Band scholarships are stackable on any other academic scholarship. Students must maintain a cumulative GPA of at least 3.0 to continue receiving a University Band scholarship.

Can't speak to what they're doing in the future but as a former MDB member I can tell you when I was in it very few people received scholarships for MDB.

My son who just graduated and was member of MDB said the same thing, very few member received the scholarships from the MDB.
In all honesty the MDB is very cheap. When the band went to NYC to march in the Thanksgiving Parade, the band members had to pay their own way. It was a groups plan, but as I remember it was about $2,ooo.oo.
