We've doubled in size since Saban, most of that coming from out of state students.
Hopefully that will pay dividends in terms of alumni support in the years and decades that follow.

A lot of the out of state students aren't even from relatively close places like Dallas, they're from Chicago and California. I can tell you right now that based on my experience as a student in the mid-Saban years, a lot of those people aren't going to be giving anything to NIL. Many couldn't even be bothered to stay for the full game, even when the score was close.
