$51.8 million: Alabama cuts to the chase for new recruitment ad

I guess they don’t do subtle in the deep south any more.

AS THE FIGHT over paying college athletes intensifies, Nick Saban is not shy about letting high school kids know that they can make millions if they come play for Alabama.

Below is a look at a recruiting flyer being used by the Alabama football team that was obtained by  ABC 33/40 in Birmingham.

The flyer consists of fictional cheques written to each of the Alabama players selected in this year’s NFL draft. The amounts on each cheque represent the total value of the contracts they signed.
