This report, first published by JakSports, has yet to be confirmed by the university or any major sports outlet. Still, it’s spreading like wildfire—and raising serious questions about what’s really happening behind closed doors in Tuscaloosa.
According to the report, Milroe’s decision follows a quiet team suspension and what’s being described as “growing friction” with Alabama’s offensive direction. While details remain murky, the source claims that Milroe was offered a substantial NIL package to stay—and turned it down. That, if true, marks one of the most shocking exits of the Nick Saban era.
What makes this story even more explosive is its timing. With SEC Media Days in full swing and fall camp just around the corner, Alabama was expected to finalize its quarterback rotation soon. Milroe, who has both experience and star power, was seen as a major contender for the starting role. Now, if this report holds weight, the Tide could be facing an unexpected reshuffle at the most important position on the field.
So far, neither Milroe nor the Alabama coaching staff has released a statement. But fans aren’t waiting. The internet is already buzzing with speculation, frustration, and disbelief. Some believe the report is nothing more than clickbait. Others worry it may be the latest example of how quickly NIL money, internal politics, and player expectations can clash in today’s college football landscape.
If true, this would be a massive shake-up—not just for Alabama’s season, but for the entire SEC. It would also raise real concerns about how NIL dynamics are influencing roster stability and player loyalty across the sport.
Whether this is the start of a new chapter for Milroe or just a wild rumor that will be put to bed in a day or two, one thing is clear: Alabama football just found itself at the center of a story no one saw coming.
We’ll be watching closely for official word. Until then, Tide Nation holds its breath.
