Alabama football’s coaching change got expensive for the Crimson Tide. UA reported $47.4 million in coach pay spending to the NCAA for the Fiscal Year 2024, leading the SEC in the category by around $23 million. UA athletics lost over $28 million in FY 2024, which ran from July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024. Jessica Schingle, an open records and project specialist at the university, explained the jump as related to the Tide’s move from the retired Nick Saban to Kalen DeBoer.

Alabama baseball coach Rob Vaughn drew interest from jobs around the country, but he’ll be sticking around Tuscaloosa for the 2026 season. UA extended Vaughn’s contract, the Crimson Tide’s NIL collective announced Tuesday night. Yea Alabama did not release details as to the contract’s length, or Vaughn’s compensation. He had initially signed a five-year deal in 2023 upon arrival in Tuscaloosa, a contract that would pay him $900,000 per year.

The next time an opposing team’s fans rush the field after beating Alabama football, there won’t be any question as to the fine. After years of increasing penalties, the SEC is moving to a flat competition-area entry fine for the 2025 season, $500,000 per violation. The league had previously fined teams $100,000 for the first offense, $250,000 for the second and $500,000 for the third and beyond.

Alabama baseball’s 2025 season is on the brink of a disappointing end. The Crimson Tide, which fell to Miami on Friday, is playing an NCAA Tournament elimination game on Saturday in the Hattiesburg regional. UA will face the site host and No. 1 seed in the regional, Southern Miss. The Golden Eagles dropped their first game of the tournament 11-4 to Columbia on Friday. Alabama owed the loss largely to an abysmal start.

During the Nick Saban era, Alabama football’s best teams were built on the backs of outstanding offensive linemen. According to a recent ranking from Pro Football Focus, the Crimson Tide might be returning to the glory days up front. PFF’s Max Chadwick listed Alabama as the top unit in the nation.

NEW: I FOIA'd the FCC to see if anyone filed complaints about Nick Saban swearing on ESPN this past CFB season. Turns out 3 viewers did, and you can read the complaints here “ ... said the word shit twice, bitch once and something else I can’t remember." https://t.co/LlXrPuMliJ
