Nick Saban's nine quotes to Congress in NIL testimony will make you LOL.

Starting with this: 'Congress does not need to micromanage college sports.'

Um, Coach, did you miss the memo on why you're here? Good grief.

Speaking now, @SenatorCantwell touts Nick Saban's upcoming testimony this morning for noting college sports "has become pay-for-play" & praises Saban for wanting to protect "women's sports" & "women & Olympic sports. How unique they are, how threatened they are." Cantwell notes 106 sports cut, 1k athlete spots since 2023

Speaking on Capitol Hill on the #ProtectCollegeSportsAct @tedcruz says "Today, tragically, foundations underneath college sports ar cracking . (This) will kill off everyone but Big Ten & SEC. I’m from Texas. I love the SEC but I love all the rest that make college sports so fantastic."

Mudita: having vicarious joy for somebody else's success.

A tough end to the Alabama softball season could be defined by sadness, frustration, jealousy. Instead, the Crimson Tide leaves OKC with mudita in its heart, something Mari Hubbard has shown best. https://t.co/h0yVIh0Hvv

A mom saw a problem in sports safety around rising temperatures and equipment/fields for athletes. So she quit her corporate job to create a solution.

Now @AlabamaFTBL is her first customer.

A great season came to an abrupt end, one that unraveled in a matter of five hours for Alabama softball on Monday night.

While it wasn’t the ending the Crimson Tide had hoped for, its showing was not in vain. https://t.co/atnZ8UelKx

It's undeniable where Isaac McNeil's future would be if he chooses Alabama football Tuesday.
