Explain how NIL has been bad for Alabama football and made it less enjoyable for you, please.

its turned the whole thing completely mercenary, players dont stick around and develop as part of the team, they come for money, they leave if the other place offers more money. its turned the sport into a shittier version of the NFL, which at least has specific rules and contract lengths.

The thing is, its not even bad for top teams, they can afford whatever, and when the portal dance happens teams like bama benefit as the destination for the better players. Its more that its turned the whole sport less enjoyable than its specifically bad for bama
