I'm a Bama grad. I met my wife in Tuscaloosa. I walked on the track team over 2 decades ago. I like going back for games (not just football games). I own an embarrassing amount of Alabama gear that is only getting larger.
The thing that sucks to realize is guys like Caleb Downs do not give one shite about The University of Alabama. Most of the guys that signed in 2023 will not graduate from Alabama and many will never step foot on campus after their playing days are over (and most of them won't finish their careers playing football at Bama).
Geno Auriemma gave a good speech the other day about how everything is transactional now in sports. It's like that in real life too. It just sucks. Everyone is encouraged to do what's best for them without any care about anyone around them or the future. It just sucks.

Well by not being able to stockpile the same crazy amount of talent, we won’t be processing the guys who actually WANT to be at Alabama out of the program anymore. We can still pay enough to hold a few Uber-talented mercenaries, but we will also see dudes who are from Bama and grew up loving Bama take on bigger roles.

They should make it like NCAAB and let the players jump to the pro's after 1 year
