How much is Nick Saban worth to Alabama? If he goes to Texas, we will find out....And the Gophers should listen

IF, and that is a very big if, Texas is able to persuade Nick Saban to leave Alabama, how much will it cost?  That is, how much is Nick Saban actually worth to Texas, and to Alabama.  Having a top team in college football means more fans, more team gear sold and most importantly more donations.  Whether it be mandatory donations for seats or voluntary donations to a school because the program is getting exposure, in the end donations are donations.  And the Minnesota Gophers need to watch and learn.

Nick Saban already makes an amazing amount of money, and it probably is not enough.  Texas would easily be able to justify a 7, 8 or even 10 million dollar salary if Saban was able to do at Texas what he is doing now at Alabama.  As for Minnesota, if they were willing to pony up 3, 4 or 5 million for a football coach, they would also easily be able to justify it.  How???  Donations.  For instance, right now you can sit inside the 20's at TCF Bank stadium for as little as $100 a seat in donations.  How much is it at Texas, Ohio State and Alabama?  Well over $1,000.  That is a difference of $900 for some 10,000 tickets.  You do the math.  That is $9 million a year in donations, at the very very least.

I hope Jerry Kill can earn that kind of money, and if he can, we should pay him.  If a few years down the road we find out he can't take us to the top, then we need to really see what the great schools do, because if you get a good coach he will be worth every penny.

  10. I’m amazed, I must say. Seldom do I come across a blog that’s both educative and engaging, and without a doubt, you've hit the nail on the head. The issue is an issue that too few folks are speaking intelligently about. Now i'm very happy I came across this during my hunt for something regarding this.
