“Yep, Saban brings a lot of money to Alabama.”

Name me one Bama coach that hasn’ since the Bear prowled the Tide sideline. Saban isn’t unique in this respect. The money rolls in at every Power Five school. That is what makes the disparity between them and everyone else so obscene.

Mike Price. LOL.

How much of the 11 million is actually paid buy the university? Boosters pay for most is my guess.

I like Coach Sabah. He’s a liberal in a sea of knuckle dragging bible believing ALABAMA. he gets that and instead of being typical Lib he focuses on his job. That respect is in turn returned and I ignore his personal politics and look at his work.

There are not many NCAA football coaches that hold his players to higher standards. I have seen him pull his key players for behavior type penalties.

FR should actually be embracing this Coach. Community, job before his own politics, high standards for his players, focused on excellence.

My assumption is that winning football teams bring in more money (and other valuable tangibles and intangibles) to the school. You haven’t convinced me otherwise.
