When 95% of the state of Alabama will buy at least a UA hat, shirt and bumpersticker, I'm not shocked they did so well

To those that wonder why Saban makes so much,look at revenues before Saban vs now.

A very good investment

The massive increase in revenue in Saban's tenure was only slightly improved because of people in the state. Alabama is a massive national brand now, so the bandwagon has brought in a ton of money as well from around the country.

So the rest of the state is about 4% AU and 1% Other (Troy, UAB, etc)?

No wonder AU athletics lost money last year.

I think it's more that they have been so good recently they are getting national appeal. Seeing Bama merchandise in the Lone Star State is becoming more and more frequent. The population of the DFW and Houston metroplexes combined is triple the entire population of Alabama, to put it in perspective.
