Not sure Saban is making it up, Penn State has the 3rd most profitable football program and the nation's largest alumni assoc. Under a different set of circumstances Penn State would and could have backed an armored car to his house.

Alabama and Penn State were the most profitable athletic programs in 2010-2011.
The Business of College Sports collected data from the Department of Education and subtracted reported total expenses from reported total revenue to come up with figures that could be applied to both public and private institutions. Athletic departments do not report profit or net income.
Alabama made $31.68 million in net income—leading the SEC member institutions that made combined $91.6 million. The Big Ten was second among major BCS conferences with a profit of $83.33 million and was led by Penn State’s $31.62 million.
Alabama was the only SEC school in the top 10, while the Big Ten was represented by four schools—Penn State, No. 3 Michigan ($26.65 million), No. 7 Ohio State ($18.63) and No. 10 Michigan State ($13.51)—in the top 10.
