No. Texas does not own the money derived from it. Texas got a flat $11M/year fee that increased by 3% each year for X number of years. Once ESPN recoups its original $295M investment in the network THEN Texas starts receiving 70% of profits annually. That hasn't happened yet.

Not sure why you are so angry. I couldn't care less what the guy does, I just find it hilarious that fanbases outside of Alabama cling to every rumor he's leaving as gospel without knowing any facts behind it - such as those I outlined above. It's also funny that Bama fans cling to every rumor that he's staying without thought process behind any logic around his possible exit, though Bama fans are handling the possibility of him leaving much better than other fan bases are.

Where does ESPN get there reports from? Who in our front office would let it be known that they are worried about Saban not signing his extension yet?

We just got beat by Auburn. He is out trying to recruit so it doesn't happened again lol.

That what is funny they made their bed by hiring him now they are laying in it using him as a solid source not realizing he is just using a situation presenting itself to stir up his listening audience...I suspect his call-in show today will be a complete SHITSHOW today

We don't need better players to beat Auburn. We have better players now. We just needed the coaching staff to go with an aggressive offensive strategy playing to the strength of our team, a veteran offense. We could have threw all over that secondary, but instead chose to run at their strength, defensive line. The coaches chose to basically run out the clock before halftime and didn't make calls going for more yardage and a better FG opportunity at the end of the game. We lost due to poor coaching mistakes not how are players played. That's the truth.

If Frank Wilson left, how would that affect the NOLA recruits?

I should start my "With Wilson leaving, how many Recruits will LSU lose?" Thread on the sec recruiting board.

Andrew Gribble ?@Andrew_Gribble 44s
RT @TheMikeHerndon Talked to Marlon Humphrey today. Not only will Bama let him run track, they've shown him a plan for doing both sports.
