No programs spend as much as Bama on Football. None. Bama spent $78.5m on football alone in '22. Washington spent the next highest at $70.4m, then Ohio St at $69m and UGA at $61.7m.Quote:

Meanwhile, our $29 million is 12th lowest in P5
Wait. We have a $130M Athletics budget and we only spent $29M on Football? No wonder we suck at it. It cost $10M a season just to get team, equipment and support staff to the 4 to 5 road games.Quote:

It still comes down to players and for the first time, Bama will actually be at a disadvantage when it comes to paying players. When payments were under the table, what mattered was having crazy committed boosters with money. Now that NIL is here, schools like Texas and UGA, which have a much broader swath of alumni that are well off and/or rich and willing to contribute to NIL when they weren't willing to make under the table payments will have an advantage over Bama.Quote:

I did. Tried to respond but not sure it went through. I get that. But Texas has multiple companies in the same industry much bigger.Quote:
