Former Alabama football quarterback A.J. McCarron recently criticized this new NIL era in a lengthy tirade.
According to McCarron, “everyone was concerned about f***ing TikTok, having a reel, and being on highlights for their own personal gain and how much money they can get from NIL.” “Back then, we simply didn’t have that s***.” The sport was team-oriented. You came together as a team because you shared a common objective: you recognized that winning was the only way to earn money. Winning draws people to that program, including scouts, general managers, and ownership, giving you the chance to go make a lot of money and alter your family tree for a long time.
“It’s obvious. It’s not the same. In my opinion, Alabama supporters should adjust to the fact that things won’t be the same as they were in 2008 until last year, when there was a single standard. That isn’t a criticism of the coaching staff or of anyone in general. It’s simply a different time period. I believe that if they are not prepared for it, they will need to belt up.

After just destroying the Missouri Tigers, the Crimson Tide appeared revitalized. The team’s first SEC shutout since 2020 came from the victory. With an aggressive mentality, head coach Kalen DeBoer thinks the defense is starting to mature.
