Alabama is in the middle of a huge amount of high school talent - and is a fairly nice place to spend a week or weekend, nice campus, lots of pretty girls.
The families of the players like to come watch them play and be catered to by the school. There are plenty of potential players nearby who will do this at Alabama with their families.
Nebraska is nowhere near such high school talent and is no longer anything special with the offer to pay them one way or another (it used to be unusual to the degree they cheated and did it - NIL has made that not such a big deal anymore). It's also a crappy campus, by comparison with pretty much nothing else to recommend it year-round as a destination.
OU has similar problems as Nebraska but is at least much closer to a fair amount of talent.
Both of them thrived off paying players under the table and playing against a schedule largely filled with teams who couldn't or wouldn't.
Alabama's location and business model (everyone paid something in the SEC) is just different.
