Consider joining Yea Alabama on 9/30. Support our folks

SAME in all respects… I pulled all my contributions when Saban left and it became the Wild West for NIL.

I’ll consider it. That’s a palatable entry point that I very likely would never surpass. Probably a good retune by our collective brain trust

If people can’t spare the extra $5 a month in hard times that’s understandable.

What's not understandable is why anyone would contribute $5 month to put into the pockets of kids who have more money than they do.

Let the big corporations contribute the big bucks. Asking fans to give is monumentally stupid and pretty tone deaf.

edit: ok, I stand corrected. If it isn't going to NIL, that's a different story. But still, they have raised the seat fees and ticket prices already. Now they want the fan who sits at home and watches on TV to pony up? Again...frick that shite. Charge Tiffin Motorhomes and Conecuh Sausage more money.

No way in hell does a win over Georgia tell me that I should be contributing money to fricking millionaires who will then be driving that expensive ride they're gonna buy next year when they're playing in Austin or Columbus. frick that shite.

And if everyone has that attitude you can be damn sure they’ll be playing elsewhere. They aren’t asking you to give $5 for nothing. The idea is the site will be a service going forward.

But by all means spend all your time thinking about the team and then be mad when the team is bad. Matter of fact, don’t take the time to respond. Use that time to go collect cans so you can cash them in for $5. Time is money brother.

To my understanding they will ask current members to choose their new tier. I think only 1 tier was under $25

so I’m guessing a lot of new donors will dip their toe in for $5 to try out the ticket exchange, member events, and message board.

And the folks who have been in the higher dollar tiers will stay at $25. They get a few added benefits but still fleshing out this tier and its added benefits.

Make sure you drink Yea! Alabama water to piss excellence.

I understand most of these kids come from disadvantaged homes and need some money. I work hard for my money and these primadonna types that switch schools yearly don’t interest me.

They ought to require membership to have the right to access and purchase exclusive apparel / gear. Not just with the Yea Alabama logo items, but something football specific.

Something like a $100 membership fee to get access to purchase exclusive items. Once its gone its gone. Don't just try to sell your shirt and stuff to the general public - create some desirability through exclusivity.

Just sending money to fund these players or to get a "shout out" from a player isn't appealing in the slightest (unless you're a 10 year old sending in your birthday money), but getting access to exclusive stuff might make me pull the trigger on something like that.

Until then, I will just pay for me seats.
