    Alabama’s Money Problem? Revenue Breakdown, Bediako NCAA Blow & DeBoer’s New TE Hire (Portal Era)

    Alabama athletics is bringing in serious cash — so why does it feel like the Tide is getting squeezed in the new era of college sports? In this episode, we dive into the real conversation Alabama fans are having right now: spending, roster building, NIL realities, and whether Alabama has to change how it funds winning to keep pace with programs like Ohio State, Michigan, and LSU. Topics We Cover: 💰 Alabama Athletics Finances (Revenue vs. Losses) Football: $64M Men’s basketball: $9M Women’s basketball: –$4.5M+ Baseball: –$4.5M We debate whether Alabama needs to restructure priorities, and if resources being lost in other sports could be redirected to the roster in the modern “pay-for-talent” landscape. 🚫 Charles Bediako Ruled Ineligible Why some believed he’d be cleared “the rest of the year” Frustration with the NCAA and the claim that he was singled out The transfer debate: is the “portal takes spots from high school kids” argument actually garbage? 🏈 DeBoer’s Staff Moves + Roster Concerns Kalen DeBoer gets praised for tackling the trenches: OL focus + new TE coach with OL background (Richard Owens from Louisville) The bigger issue: depth and whether the roster is drifting away from the Saban standard Research and projections suggesting a majority of Alabama’s 2026 starters could be transfer portal guys If players keep leaving for money… is an 8–4 type season on the table? Sound off in the comments: Do you think Alabama needs to spend more aggressively to stay on top — and should the athletic department rethink which sports it’s funding at a high level? 👍 Like, subscribe, and hit the bell so you don’t miss the next show #AlabamaFootball #RollTide #KalenDeBoer #CollegeFootball #SEC #NIL #TransferPortal #CFB #AlabamaCrimsonTide #AlabamaAthletics #NCAAFootball #CollegeSports #AlabamaRecruiting #BamaNation #NCAABasketball Learn more about your ad choices.
