This seems suspect since it is in direct conflict with what was reported when he entered the portal with a “do not contact” designation.
Yeah definitely possible it's not true. But in today's world when there are no real rules idk seems possible we contacted him before he officially entered or something 🤷‍♂️

Those riches come 100% from the fans - wither through direct purchases or through eyeballs (ad revenue).

There was plenty of money in NASCAR until the eyeballs went away and tickets weren't being sold.
Talladega once had seating for 143,000. The capacity now is 80,000. Will Bryant-Denny someday remove seats to achieve a better supply/demand curve?

While I followed the score on line, I didn’t watch one snap of the Iron Bowl.

I couldn't have cared less one way or the other about NASCAR when I was younger, but I went to one race at Talladega when I was at Bama in the mid-90's.

It was fun, but it's no mystery to me that few younger Americans have much interest in it these days.

Andrew Bone is now reporting UGA wanting Beck to come back and Alabama contacting him is untrue. I saw it on another site but was unable to copy link. Something's glitchy about my 'puter today.
Rusty Mansell on one of the UGA sites wouldn’t get into UGA “wanting to get Beck to return” other than saying people on both sides have stated it was a mutual decision to move on.

So the story was wrong on both fronts; Alabama pursued Beck and UGA wanted Beck to return.

Yeah and that seriously raises questions about the quarterback situation in 25. But at the same time Beck is the best quarterback in the portal, so why wouldn’t you call him.
The reports are being refuted by both bama and becks camps.

Its not impossible that we may have reached out...but we're never paying 4 mill. Also he entered with a non contact tag so that buddy's the waters about him getting any contacts at all other than uga and Miami. And beck would only make sense at a dramatically lower nil price tag given how the staff feels (reportedly) about Ty and Russell.

It's not a generational thing - Nascar has lost over half it viewership in less than a decade.

They thought the fans would never go away, took them for granted, and changed the sport too much for many to like it anymore. Sound familiar?
