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

. Giving Saban $7.5 million is a deal compared to what he brings in and contributes to education.

He is worth the 7.5 million because it is market value and likely UT would have paid it if not Alabama. He brings money, but he contributes VERY LITTLE to education. Let's not kid ourselves. The University of Alabama could get a lot more millage out of 7.5 million for pure education purposes investing in a lot of other things besides a football coach.
