I give to the collective monthly, but I completely understand why others don’t.
I chose to give because I get a lot of joy and entertainment out of Alabama sports. Going to games and cheering on the athletes is something my family enjoys and does together, which is nice. And I believe that our athletic program can change kids lives for the better.
That being said, asking your average fan to fund the collective while also increasing tide pride and ticket prices and nickel and diming folks at the concession stand is not a sustainable model, and when the AD is worth hundreds of millions, I can see why a lot of people are turned off by that.
Collective bargaining needs to get here so we can move on from this current NIL era.

The problem is NIL isn’t going away when revenue sharing starts. It won’t be as prominent or as important maybe, but NIL will continue on.
