Tax write off and didn't do it anonymously. Could be better.

Good for him. He's made a lot of money there and it is good to see him paying forward.

Were I Coach Saban, I think I would request it to not be named after me, but I'm not taking issue with him there. That's a hefty chunk of change no matter who you are. That's a bit more than 10% of his annual salary pre-tax. That's a hefty commitment.

Saban, despite what a lot of us may say from time to time, is a damned good coach and a fine man. He may come off as callous and hell-bent on winning at all costs, but I haven't heard any of his former players sing anything but his praises.

You don't have the kind of success he has had by being a dick wad.

Much respect for Coach Saban for continuing to do so much for not only the university that hired him, but for the surrounding community as well.

That's a very nice gesture just before his retirement.

Like he wouldn’t do this in ANY city where he has made soooooo much money and had so much success. It doesn’t make Tuscaloser special... they are just fortunate that this is where the hired mercenary landed.

Seems more benevolent than that bullshite scholarship he endowed to give 5*s prospects' girlfriends scholarships when he first started.

He’s been donating millions to inner city families since 2007

So long as their kids play football

I'd imagine 90% of Tuscaloosa public library's inventory is Nick Saban & Bear Bryant autobiographies. Is Saban just donating another thousand copies of his?

Paving the way for the first tranny story time in the state of Alabama. Nick is just being a good little liberal.
