NIL agreements likely have confidentiality clauses where breach likely can result in suspending payments.

Apparently that does not apply to Kiffen?

Im not sure if youre a baseball fan. But Alabama has finally hired a very good baseball coach and it seems hes turning the program around. I watched them a lot last season and they were fun to watch. Good way to fill your summer sports itch.

I like this guy alot also. This years team may be his best

South Carolina edge Desmond Umeozulu to Bama!

Huge get! RTR

Well, Kiffin is no longer employed there so...

Umeozulu is an interesting addition as he was buried on South Carolina's depth chart, but did have an NIL deal with them. Some of their fans seem puzzled as to why Alabama is targeting him, but obviously Alabama wants the depth there.

He was behind Dylan Stewart, who is probably a top 5 pass rusher in all of college football. South Carolina always seems to have good pass rushers, so it's probably a good place to look. This is a good add. Looks like a good mix of size and athleticksm. There is upside here. He also should offer some versatility with the ability to play both wolf and bandit.

I really wonder how many players on the rosters of UM/IU have already been bought out and plan to leave as soon as the clock hits zero. You know IU doesn’t have the money to keep them around.

Is this a joke? It wasn’t in blue font so I’ll assume it was serious. Indiana is definitely in position to keep them around and they definitely have the money. Mark Cuban is an alumnus and a billionaire who is one of the folks funding their NIL. They also have the largest alumni base of any school in the nation. It’s over 800,000 folks, about 4 times the size of Bama’s. They will be at the top of the heap as far as money schools in this new era, in a lot better position than us. Don’t confuse past ineptness in football for poor positioning going forward.

I was going to “like” this post but I just couldn’t do it. Although you are - I really don’t LIKE it.

Yeah, friend of mine son (in baseball) entered the portal, didnt like what his options then tried to back to his team but had lost his scholarship. He'd already been replaced.

Welcome to the real world. I wonder if anyone made the young man ( and your friend ) aware of the possibility of potential negative consequences, such as this one, prior to his entering the portal( ?). I would hazard a guess not.

This thread is full of rumors that have had no way of being substantiated and rumors that have been squelched with facts. It is strange to see all of this on tidefans.

These 105 scholarship rosters are going to be interesting

I know a guy who knows a guy who is a roadie for Rod Stewart—apparently he’s happy happy with his contract and could be a good depth piece in Grubb’s system if we can get him

The good old green eyed monster of envy and jealousy. Typical play by a narcissist like Kiffin.

Is he even a little bit concerned about karma?

Generally speaking narcissists and sociopaths aren’t concerned with repercussions. In their mind they are always “right”.

I know a gal who is a roadie for the Rolling Stones—apparently she believes they are done with touring.

Wait, did I do it right?

He's dating Karma...

Nah. Dating would require something resembling commitment. He ain't got nunna that. His idea is more of a SERVICE agreement.

Can't argue with that. it has already started with corporations logos on the field. Soon the jersey will probably look like something out of NASCAR.

I'm posting this article since it gives the number of players leaving and number of incoming freshmen and transfers coming in. We have more newcomers than those who left at this point and I would expect we add a few more.

Kalen DeBoer hopes to uncover a gem with two new additions to Alabama's WR room
