When 95% of the state of Alabama will buy at least a UA hat, shirt and bumpersticker, I'm not shocked they did so well
The massive increase in revenue in Saban's tenure was only slightly improved because of people in the state. Alabama is a massive national brand now, so the bandwagon has brought in a ton of money as well from around the country.

I have seen it in Alabama, but nowhere else. The Bama fans have half their wardrobe dedicated to Bama items. It is almost a tax on the ignorant and poor of the state.

This. Alabama sells more merch than anyone not named Texas. Although that is probably only a fraction of what Alabama receives from donors in tide pride and elsewhere.

Massive national brand?
I travel a bit and never see anything Bama. In south Florida I see about triple AU stuff to Bama stuff.
Not that I see a lot of AU stuff, but I almost never see a Gump.

yep, I think there are more Alabama fans in the Jackson area than JSU/OM/and MSU combined.
Also in my hometown the ppl that didn't go to college are all bama fans now and not LSU.
