The wide-reaching impact of Vanderbilt’s shocking upset over Alabama continues to play out for the school and its players.
Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia, who threw for 252 yards and two touchdowns in the Commodores’ 40–35 win Saturday, is not being shy about his desire to cash in on the moment. Pavia seemingly posted his agent’s phone number to X on Monday afternoon. The quarterback wrote: “For NIL inquiries hit my Agent … 5055447267 … ‘Vandy we turnt’ ‼”
On Sunday, Pavia took to social media to apologize for swearing during his postgame interview on the SEC Network.

Pavia isn’t the only one looking to capitalize on the victory, though.
On Vanderbilt’s official online store, fans can buy T-shirts commemorating the biggest win in the football program’s history. A black shirt with gold text reading “WE REIGN SUPREME” is available for $32.99. The shirt also includes the 40-35 game score, as well as the location (Nashville, Tennessee) and the date (October 5, 2024).
The school, which was fined $100,000 by the SEC after fans stormed the field at FirstBank Stadium, has also been auctioning off items from the historic game, like individual pylons, pieces of the goalposts, and game balls.
