An analysis of Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe's potential return for his senior year, considering the impact of NIL deals and the upcoming ReliaQuest Bowl.
It’s the week of the College Football Playoff quarterfinals, but Alabama is in Tampa getting ready for Tuesday’s game with Michigan in something called the ReliaQuest Bowl. It’s the old Outback Bowl for anyone who was wondering. Alabama fans apparently do not. The mailbag is already looking ahead to next season ….
How much would Jalen Milroe have to be paid by Alabama boosters in order to come back for his senior year and make a run for the Heisman Trophy? Are teams, such as Oregon, Ohio State, and Texas so affluent that they can entice players from going to the NFL and come back for their senior year? Will NIL get to a point where a college player would be taking a pay cut to go to the NFL his senior year?Milroe should consider returning to Alabama for a discount based on all those interceptions he threw against Vanderbilt, Tennessee and Oklahoma. Seems like he still owes the Crimson Tide for a couple wins. Return on investment has always been part of the equation in college football. These days, it’s just more money. Not only do SEC teams spend millions recruiting players, and providing everyone with resort-like facilities on campus, but boosters have to pony up for the NIL collectives that pay the players, too. Schools are expected to begin paying players directly beginning with the 2025-26 academic year. The salary caps are going to be set at $22 million for athletic departments. Will NIL collectives be going away? We’ll see. I highly doubt it considering how competitive everyone is in the SEC. It will make more financial sense for some college football players to stay in school for their senior seasons instead of going pro as juniors. Milroe is projected to be a second-day pick in the 2025 NFL Draf
