Alabama’s Money Problem? Revenue Breakdown, Bediako NCAA Blow & DeBoer’s New TE Hire (Portal Era) Feb 13, 2026

Show notes

Alabama athletics is bringing in serious cash — so why does it feel like the Tide is getting squeezed in the new era of college sports?

In this episode, we dive into the real conversation Alabama fans are having right now: spending, roster building, NIL realities, and whether Alabama has to change how it funds winning to keep pace with programs like Ohio State, Michigan, and LSU.

Topics We Cover:

💰 Alabama Athletics Finances (Revenue vs. Losses)

Football: $64M

Men’s basketball: $9M

Women’s basketball: –$4.5M+

Baseball: –$4.5M

We debate whether Alabama needs to restructure priorities, and if resources being lost in other sports could be redirected to the roster in the modern “pay-for-talent” landscape.

🚫 Charles Bediako Ruled Ineligible

Why some believed he’d be cleared “the rest of the year”

Frustration with the NCAA and the claim that he was singled out

The transfer debate: is the “portal takes spots from high school kids” argument actually garbage?

🏈 DeBoer’s Staff Moves + Roster Concerns

Kalen DeBoer gets praised for tackling the trenches: OL focus + new TE coach with OL background (Richard Owens from Louisville)

The bigger issue: depth and whether the roster is drifting away from the Saban standard

Research and projections suggesting a majority of Alabama’s 2026 starters could be transfer portal guys

If players keep leaving for money… is an 8–4 type season on the table?

Sound off in the comments:

Do you think Alabama needs to spend more aggressively to stay on top — and should the athletic department rethink which sports it’s funding at a high level?

Kalen DeBoer Locks In His Staff + Crimson Tide Hoops Wins at Ole Miss | Bama & Bourbon Feb 13, 2026

Show notes

It’s staff moves, SEC hoops, and a smooth pour on this episode of Bama and Bourbon 🥃🐘

Lance Taylor from The Next Round and Aaron Suttles of Yea Alabama break down Kalen DeBoer’s latest coaching hire to complete the Alabama Football staff. Does this move signal a stronger commitment to running the football? Is DeBoer reshaping the Crimson Tide’s offensive identity around physicality and balance? The guys dive into what this addition means for the Alabama run game, offensive philosophy, recruiting, and the future of the program in Tuscaloosa.

Then it’s on to the hardwood as LT and Aaron react to Alabama Basketball’s big road win at Ole Miss, analyzing what it says about Nate Oats’ team in SEC play. With Charles Bediako no longer in the picture, what does the outlook look like for the Crimson Tide? Can Alabama maintain its momentum and positioning for March Madness without his presence inside?

All of it is discussed while enjoying a pour of Murray Hill Club Bourbon Whiskey, blending premium bourbon talk with premium Crimson Tide analysis.

If you’re an Alabama Football fan, Alabama Basketball supporter, SEC sports junkie, or a bourbon enthusiast, this episode is for you.

Charles Barkley Weighs In on Bediako Case, Auburn’s Outlook, and Super Bowl Weekend in Vegas! Feb 11, 2026

Show notes

Auburn legend and NBA Hall of Famer Charles Barkley joins The Next Round for an unforgettable conversation covering everything from Auburn Basketball, the Super Bowl, and much more.

Sir Charles opens up about his remarkable weight loss journey and how it has changed his life. We also dive into his thoughts on the ongoing Charles Bediako eligibility situation, the evolving landscape of college basketball and the NCAA, and what it means for programs like Auburn and Alabama in the ultra-competitive SEC.

Barkley shares his perspective on Steven Pearl stepping in for his father, Bruce Pearl, at Auburn, and evaluates how the Tigers are performing this season. How does Charles feel about the direction of Auburn Basketball? Can the Tigers make a serious SEC and March Madness run?

The conversation also turns heartfelt as Charles pays tribute to our dear friend the late Christina Chambers, sharing memories and honoring her impact. And of course, Barkley gives us the recap on the carnage that was his annual Super Bowl weekend trip to Las Vegas.
