Alabama Football in Trouble, Jeremiah Smith Rated 99, $4.5B NIL Deals & MORE

from College Football Apostles - WE LOVE CFB · host Fox Sports Radio and iHeartPodcasts

Alabama football is heading in the wrong direction. Can Kalen DeBoer stop the Crimson Tide from becoming just another really good program instead of the sport’s inevitable final boss. He also reacts to the NCAA’s new five-for-five eligibility model getting sued almost immediately, why the rollout is the real issue, how the rule could push more pressure down into high school sports and parenting decisions, why the NIL market is already headed past $4.5 billion, and why the revenue-sharing cap is starting to feel fake if third-party money keeps flowing. George also breaks down EA Sports College Football 27 ratings, Ohio State's Jeremiah Smith becoming the first 99 overall player of the new era, Oregon Ducks having the most loaded roster in the game, and why the Big 12 might have more high-end talent than people want to admit. He also talks about Nike bringing back The Opening with real NIL money on the line, the Citadel finding human remains under its stadium, and why 1991 Washington deserves more respect in any conversation about the best college football teams of the 1990s. George explains why the real problem for Alabama football is not that DeBoer cannot coach, because he can, but that the Alabama Crimson Tide are no longer recruiting, retaining, and scaring people the way it did under Nick Saban.
