Uhm, do what?
Not a big surprise... he's going to be offered a shit ton of $ from some other programs...
I'd be worried about Alton Davis II too... but Jackson staying helps there... and he's indicated that he plans on staying. That too could certainly change though when he starts getting NIL offers from others...
It sucks (bigly), but that's the college sports world we are in now.
Uhm, do what?
Not going to lie! This sucks donkeyA balls!!! Really need to pony up in the NIL game to hold on to him or find some replacements.
With Shelton, I can see him at UF next season. I believe he could actually go there for free since he would be an instate kid and they could dump an insane amount of NIL in his lap. SUCKS!!!The system sucks and is draining my enjoyment from college sports at a pretty rapid rate. I'll admit that on the football side, Alabama is on the beneficial side of the transfer seesaw, but to me, it isn't worth being on the wrong end with some other sports. Pisses me off that all the parties involved had plenty to time to set this stuff up correctly in a way that was fair to everyone (for starters, expanded and equal scholarships in sports like baseball). Some have compared the system we have now to professional sports... I'd say it's even worse than that. If Bryce Young has a monster year, he can't jump to the Cowboys after 1 season for twice the money. Corbin Carroll wasn't going to be able to jump from the Diamondbacks to the Yankees if we won the NL ROY award this season. But in college, these guys can pretty much jump with impunity, and who could blame them? The absurd amounts of money being offered, while their current schools are basically handcuffed... it's bullshit. Life isn't fair, so I guess college sports shouldn't be either, but damn if it ain't crashing and burning right in front of us, at least in my eyes.

He's not gonna lack options, that's for sure... I doubt LSU wants to fork over much for him since they have Tommy White for another year, otherwise, they'd be backing up the Brinks truck. Supposedly, Arkansas is heavily involved. I'm holding out a single shred of hope that he's going to leverage an offer and try and improve his situation at Alabama... but the chances of that are the slimmest of slim.
It all boils down to most of the boosters putting their money into football. They want all of our sports to be successful, but football gets the !So I am somewhat ignorant here, but how do those programs dominate us in NIL, but yet we have so much pride in our booster abilities, our deep pockets, and our collectives? Is it simply we aren't collecting much money? Are we just allocating more to football? I'm just not sure how we fall so short in a sport considered a main 3 sport and the Great American Past Time.
