<br>Whether Fontenot becomes part of the settlement is unknown and it matters because the NCAA and its conferences don’t want to be on the hook for more damages should they lose in court. In the new compensation model, each school will be permitted but not required to set aside up to $21 million in revenue to share with athletes per year, though as revenues rise so could the cap. Terms were not disclosed, though some details have emerged in the past few weeks.<br><br>Both Nick and Terry Saban intend to fund the new program to a degree, according to the former Crimson Tide coach. They are also taking donations for the Saban Center STEM building, which is being set up to help local teachers access new technology.

As a freshman in 2023, Proctor started all 14 games for the Crimson Tide on his way to being selected to the All-SEC Freshman Team. On Tuesday Coach DeBoer discussed adding Proctor back to the Alabama roster. The Crimson Tide is now one game away from elimination, while the Lady Vols can reach the Women’s College World Series with their next win against Alabama.<br><br>The natural next step will be a salary cap that will undoubtedly be litigated, intended to create parity within those two. Nick Saban is launching a career development program for former Alabama football players, he announced at his annual Nick Kids Golf Tournament on Thursday. The project is a joint venture with the University of Alabama and aims to help former Crimson Tide players develop the skills to find jobs outside of football. In ESPN’s latest transfer portal rankings (subscription required) from the 2024 offseason, Proctor ranked as the top overall player. UB hired Lembo three days before the start of the spring semester Jan. 24.<br><br>The staff had a strong showing during the contact period solidifying relationships with current Class of 2025 commits and laying the groundwork for official visits in the summer. The Third Saturday in October rivalry lives on as the Crimson Tide will take on the Tennessee Volunteers in Knoxville in 2024. Just a few seasons ago Alabama lost to the Vols on the road in what finished in dramatic fashion with the goal posts coming down and being taken out of the stadium by fans. The Wisconsin Badgers are heading into the second year of the Luke Fickell era and expectations are somewhat limited for the team.<br><br>Following Nick Saban’s retirement, Blackshire joined fellow former Crimson Tide players Isaiah Bond and Amari Niblack in transferring to Texas to play for former Alabama offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian. Jonathan Allen is one of Washington’s longest-tenured players has seen a lot of change and experienced a lot of losing. The team has been known as three different names, he has played in just one playoff game and he’s on his fourth coach. Smith seemed in line to receive a bigger role in 2023 before injuries forced him to miss most of the season. Now, with significant shakeup at defensive back, Smith could have an opportunity to start at the Husky defensive back spot, which is essentially the nickel defensive back in Wommack’s defense. Having long waited for an opportunity like this one, Smith is in a good spot to have a breakout season if he wins the starting job.<br><br>A dream following a nightmare 4-13 season that was not good for a whole lot of people around the Commanders. It certainly was not Allen’s best, following Pro Bowl nods in 2021 and 2022. That should bode well for Dippre, who showed flashes of potential as a receiver with two receptions against Michigan, one against Georgia and receptions of 30, 26 and 45 yards in three other games. More than five players could fit that description, but for the purpose of this exercise, we’ll keep it to five. The Alabama football roster has plenty of breakout candidates, considering all the change and new faces on the team.<br><br>With Justin Eboigbe off to the NFL, someone else like that will need to fill that spot on this defensive line, and Latham is a solid candidate. He’s a redshirt senior, so he’s a veteran guy, and he has shown flashes of potential with 10 pressures a season ago to go with a sack against Arkansas, per Pro Football Focus. So, keeping all that in mind, here are five candidates to have breakout seasons for the Crimson Tide in 2024. A change of scenery could certainly have been in the cards, given especially that Allen has no guaranteed money left on his contract, which has two years remaining. “We have so many great resources to help these guys move on to the next career,” Saban said. “That’s something we want to get organized and do a better job of. I have never had a chance to do projects like that before. Now I have a chance to do it.”<br><br>The class-action federal lawsuit at the center of the settlement, House v. the NCAA, was set to go to trial in January. Now it is not far-fetched to look ahead to seasons where star quarterbacks or top prospects on college basketball teams are not only cashing in big-money NIL deals but have six-figure school payments in the bank to play. The deal still must be approved by the federal judge overseeing the case and Livescore basket plaintiffs will have the opportunity to opt out or challenge terms of the agreement.<br>
