- Last Call | Alabama’s $64M Athletic Profit… So Why Is Bama Falling Behind in NIL? | Greg Byrne UNDER FIRE!
Alabama Athletics is bringing in $147 million in operating revenue and spending $82 million—yet the Tide still feels behind in NIL compared to programs like Texas, Ohio State, Texas A&M, LSU, and Texas Tech. In this episode, we break down the numbers, the priorities, and why some fans believe Greg Byrne must make tough decisions before Alabama loses its edge in college football.
We dig into where the money comes from—ticket sales ($42M), contributions ($53M), media rights ($28M), postseason ($13M)—and where it goes—head coach ($11M), assistants ($14M+), support staff ($7M), facilities ($7.5M), game expenses ($7.5M+), recruiting ($4M+). Then we get into the biggest debate: Title IX in a new era of NIL and potential revenue-sharing, including the idea of Alabama having $20.5 million to “play with” under a new model.The conversation gets heated when we look at the losses across non-revenue sports—women’s basketball (nearly -$5M), gymnastics (-$2M+), baseball (-$4.4M+), plus eye-opening spending gaps like women’s rowing and women’s track & field. One side argues these sports must become more financially responsible; the other side warns the real issue is simple: if Alabama won’t spend at a championship NIL level, Bama risks falling behind.One host puts a number on it: to truly compete with the top spenders, Alabama may need $50M roster-level investment—or the Tide won’t be able to retain elite talent and keep winning titles.Do you think Alabama is spending enough to win championships in the NIL era?

1 hr 5 min - Ron Slay Talks SEC Hoops: Alabama-Arkansas Showdown & Can Auburn Snap Their 4-Game Skid?
SEC Network analyst and Tennessee Volunteers men's basketball legend Ron Slay joins The Next Round for a can't-miss breakdown of everything happening in SEC basketball!
We start in Tuscaloosa with a massive showdown between the Alabama Crimson Tide and the Arkansas Razorbacks. Will this one turn into the fast-paced track meet everyone expects? Who controls tempo? And in the marquee guard battle, who has the edge — Alabama super sophomore Labaron Philon or Arkansas freshman standout Darius Acuff? Ron Slay breaks down the X’s and O’s, matchup advantages, and what this game means for the SEC title race and March Madness seeding.
How good is this Alabama team really? Are the Crimson Tide built for a deep NCAA Tournament run?
Then we head to Starkville as the Auburn Tigers men's basketball face a must-win road test against the Mississippi State Bulldogs men's basketball. With Steven Pearl disciplining another key player and Auburn riding a four-game losing streak, can the Tigers regroup and get back on track in SEC play? What’s at stake for Auburn’s postseason hopes?
We also dive into the rollercoaster that is Kentucky Wildcats men's basketball basketball. Why do the Wildcats look dominant one night and vulnerable the next?
And nationally — is anyone playing better than Michigan right now? Can anyone slow down the Wolverines the way they’re rolling through the competition?
