| FTBL 🐘 Alabama Roster and Portal Management Chart

[TerryP]

I see some want to keep putting lipstick on this pig!!!! Bama cannot win the arms race. Reactions to my post here will be an overreaction and make it sound like I am jumping off the cliff. I am not, in the end Bama will find a way because we are Bama and football program matters a great deal. It even took CNS one year to adjust to change the year early recruiting came into existing..

You don't sound like you are about to jump.

Bama is a top 10 program with valuations. It's a well known industry fact.

Off the the top of my head, it would be Williams, Bernard, Jefferson, Hamilton, Hampton, Scott. So, yeah.... we're pretty thin right now. It be nice to see one of the freshman ball out against Michigan, just to put everyone's mind at ease. If only for a little bit.

Adams, Hale...

Adams, Hale...

They gonna be available for the bowl game?

 

[TerryP]

They gonna be available for the bowl game?

No...for some reason I thought we were discussing who we are looking at for the spring.

 

[Scrape&Search1032]

No...for some reason I thought we were discussing who we are looking at for the spring.

I wish they were available, it be nice to have them.

And as you already know, this is just a short term worry. We'll be sitting much better come spring time at the position.

Available for Bowl Game - Williams, Bernard, Scott, Hamilton, Jefferson

A few more available for Spring - Hale, Adams, Hampton, Meadows, Brooks

We'll be fine in Spring for now, the issue is we can't lose much more for this game unless we wanna be trotting out some walk-ons.

If we do lose anymore, we should say "fuck it" and run onto the field running this.

I get the impression a lot are looking at the portal and thinking it's Draft Kings.

Tim has a thread up on Our Life(s) about conspiracy theories. NIL is a BIG one. Not that problems don't exist: the degree of hyperbole.

 

[BamaFan334]

My thoughts on him:

I wish him well. Don't blame him. Blame the system.

Him and Williams are best friends and I think that was a large part getting him back in the fold, so I hope that doesn't set off a chain of events.

I don't see why it would. He's WR1, making a shit ton of money, and will be off to the league in two years.

Football matters at Alabama but Bama doesn't have the money to compete with those with an endless checkbook. I really don't have a problem with 7-5 or 8-4 seasons IF you actually have a large group of players that play for themselves and the school.

You're going to need great coaching now more than ever and injury luck. 50-55 really good players.

You are ok with 7-5 and 8-4? Good luck with that. That is not acceptable at Bama and you know that.

Downs was too. He says it was Saban, but I think we all know the details behind Ohio State's spending.

 

[mando]

I saw some article showing NIL spending. I want to say Bama was something like 11th. Around $500M and Oregon and Texas were almost twice that. Will check to see if I can find the article. Arms race we will lose it or go bankrupt...

I would wager all my Sportsbook money that no program is spending 500 mil in NIL. Haha

No idea if accurate or not -

College football's top 50 programs ranked by NIL efforts

I would think this is more accurate:

NCAA Revenue Sharing & NIL Estimates 2025

nil-ncaa.com

Maybe the first article is cumulative but even then that seems high.

Reading it closer the first article seems to be total gifts to the universities..

It appears as if this dude is putting donations of different kinds (a lot of which have nothing so with athletics) under the same umbrella and labeling them all as NIL. Regardless, the numbers are all screwy and not even in the same universe as true NIL/Collectives.

Sorry, didn't see this one. This one is much more in line with reality than the previous link.
