What loyalty do fans have to players? If UA could replace anyone on the roster with someone better out of the portal, you guys would be all for it.

Loyalty? It's non-existent both ways. The players want money and opportunities, and the fans want wins and championships. The players don't give frick whose uniform they wear if provided with the best opportunity available, and the fans don't give a frick who wears the uniforms as long as they win games.

Am I right?

I don't think you are

Fans make everything that is available to athletes and coaches possible. Bond doesn't get a free ride ( school and car..) without the anticipation of 100k paying to sit in the sun. Nick doesn't get paid either. The payers...are the bosses. And college is funny... They can be bad but your not supposed to call "kids" out for bad play, just shut up and cheer.... That doesn't work for the local restaurant that serves bad food - you aren't expected to be loyal to the restaurant. I'm not saying that Alabama has been bad. I will say it isn't as good and yet demands are made on the fans and there is no shortage of loyalty in the fanbase. Additionally the part about money and opportunities ...Bond started every game? Was significant on the biggest stage for the biggest name in CFB. Opportunities exist ...so it has to be about the money
