I'm aware.  And I'm not sure why you think I'm saying otherwise.


To be clear, I am saying that teams like previously mentioned, AND Texas, AND Texas A&M, AND Ohio State, have yet to produce anything of consequence on the field when paying players that way.  Someone might say Michigan but they didn't start slinging millions until this year starting w/ Bryce Underwood.


Many folks are up in arms about how other programs are 'taking our players' with these type of enducements & all I can say is take them.  This was an easy way for us to cut loose players that really don't get it & find players that want to be here.  Players that understand the Alabama brand & how it can impact them for the better. ALONG WITH the fact that 'Bama gets players ready for the BIG payday of NFL Draft better than anybody.


Side Note: I can appreciate how Greg Byrne's request for more money is a bit tone deaf & maybe the average fan is not his target audience on this request.  But we are not going to be able to compete with a handful of schools BIG money.  It simply isn't going to happen.  Now it doesn't mean we can't put together a good NIL package for the roster.  But Texas & A/M, pffffttt, forget it.
