ps, slightly off topic....

Based on the list it would be priceless to be a fly on the wall of the offices of these non SEC schools when the Hogs pass them.


The 100 Million + club (as is)
8 Penn State $108 M
9 Oklahoma $106 M
11 Wisconsin $104 M
13 Florida State $100 M
14 Arkansas $100 M


The 100 Million + club (if SEC TV adds 10 million per school)
? Arkansas $110 M
8 Penn State $108 M
9 Oklahoma $106 M
11 Wisconsin $104 M
13 Florida State $100 M

Just a couple of things..


1: Alabama vs. Texas as a better job depends on what you prefer. Alabama is where football is complete king and is the most important thing for the University. Texas is more focused on being an academic institution and the sports programs aren't as important to the university leadership despite the fact that they're the highest earning sports program in the country. For Alabama, it hurts the university overall when their football team is down because they have more reliance on money associated with it. Texas doesn't give a shite. That's why Mack Brown is still employed.

2. Texas has more money than Alabama. Texas has a LOT more money than Alabama. Do they care enough to spend it is the question.

3. If Texas bought Nick Saban, would the value of the Longhorn Network not all of a sudden increase?







Personally I think there's about a 1% chance Saban would go to Texas. The ONLY chance isn't about money or anything else.. but rather if he wants to be THE coach that won National Titles at 3 different schools.
