SEC message boards have produced some of the most outlandish opinions and stories in college football over the years. From his LSU fans smelling like corn dogs to tearing apart high schoolers over college decisions, SEC fans have always found another gear.

But Nick Saban's retirement and subsequent mass exodus of players may have driven one Alabama fan to the brink of insanity, with fans stopping donating to churches and instead donating to Alabama's NIL collective. This suggests that it has started. Yes, Alabama.

User SABAN COUNTRY typed: “Stop tithing if you have to until we get out.” bama online message board.

“We are in a crisis. Your church is fine. If not, you can join another group. In Alabama, football is a religion and it's time to prove it.”

When talking about “crisis”, users are referring to beliefs such as: Yes, Alabama We are far behind other schools in terms of NIL.

Since Saban's announcement, and since the Rose Bowl loss, and even before that, there has been a strong push from universities and endowment fans to contribute to this group with the idea of ​​helping Alabama's lagging NIL.

With DeBoer losing players left and right, some fans are getting desperate. Perhaps the roster will look much different in late spring, as it does now with portal windows open not just for the University of Alabama but for other schools as well.

But for now, the Crimson will likely continue to bleed for the Tide.
