The University of Alabama football program had more than talent that led it to national championships in 2009, 2011, 2012, 2015, 2017, and 2020 under Nick Saban.
Those teams believed in a code of brotherhood that bonded players together and held each other accountable. In the years where the Crimson Tide did not win a championship, people wonder if the credo was taken seriously by everyone in the program.

This year’s team has returned the hunger of wanting to know the BPsi Phi credo and abide by it.
A few months ago, a few alums from Alabama football came in and taught the younger players the credo. Everyone in the facility got excited as they chanted the creed with energy and enthusiasm. Coach Saban has a team that’s bought into playing together and having one focus. It adopted the “LANK” mindset of Jalen Milroe (quarterback) and Terrion Arnold (cornerback). Alabama has been letting all naysayers know to a Southeastern Conference Championship, and it is back in the College Football Playoff.
Few months ago, we had former football players that started BPsi Phi to come and teach younger players about the brotherhood. As a result, it brought a close family closer through Blood, Sweat, Tears. #BPsiPhi 4 life. pic.twitter.com/bV1jcD9vBf
