re: Birmingham News columnist blasts Bama for giving Saban another raise

It is the market, market drives the price.

Is it crazy on the surface? Yes

If I was Alabama would I have paid him that much? Yes, but... Alabama football would have huge revenues regardless of the coach, the president wants the school to grow (Auburn has a 25,000 enrollment limit) and football helps that.

Where will it end? I have zero idea...
