Colin Cowherd makes daily references that he is Alabama‘s biggest donor. That’s his reasoning that they will never compete for a national championship again in this NIL area. Can that be true? They have no billionaires? Plus he’s 82 years old so they won’t even have him soon.

They have always relied on local southern car dealers and old money. Now you need a billionaire backer. They might be screwed

It's hard to say because I don't know who all actually donates. We have some wealthy graduates, but none are billionaires. Paul Bryant Jr. net worth is about $800 million according to Google. The Drummond Family is worth around $600 million. J. Frank Barefield Jr. recently donated $35 million to the school but not sure about athletics. C.T. and Kelley Fitzpatrick donated around $20 million to the school (not sure about athletics or their net worth). Hugh F. Culverhouse Sr. is worth about $380 million. Lee Styslinger is worth between $700M to $1.5B and just donated and became the name of the engineering school (not sure how much he donates to athletics).

Our biggest booster is richer than the puppies' boosters

Then we have multiple billionaires after him. Few SEC schools have the booster support Tennessee has

If Colin Cowherd says it then it has to be true. He and Finebaum are at the top of the list of voices I trust.

I don’t know if Bryant Jr.’s exact net worth is public knowledge, but it’s several hundred million dollars. He’s a banker and has a numerous major investments.

No. If you think Bama doesn't have money you’ve lost your fricking mind. Bama is an old money school.

So you just conceded to the fact that your university and alumni base are a bunch of hillbillies?

lol

More importantly, you made no effort at all to deny your homosexuality or marriage to a fatty. Sure, TN can be hillbillies, and you can keep your big wife. I'd rather be called a hillbilly than reluctantly accept a beastly wife
