## Resource

Is Alabama really struggling to keep up in NIL? Or is the Crimson Tide simply being more selective about where it spends its money? Johnny Congdon is joined by Nick Kelly to break down Courtney Morgan's comments about Alabama's NIL strategy, including why the Tide may be more risk-averse than cash-strapped when it comes to roster spending. We also dive into Alabama's linebacker room and Luke Metz being named a starter, the state of the Crimson Tide's pass rush, and which players could emerge as team captains this season. And we finish with a huge announcement in Alabama-Auburn basketball: THE FEUD is coming to Birmingham! Alabama and Auburn will meet in a preseason exhibition at Legacy Arena, setting up what should be an incredible atmosphere inside the Magic City.
