I think the payout WAS worth it for schools early. The problem for teams was the opponent had all summer and spring to prep for a team. Saban rarely loses given 5 weeks to prepare. Give him 2 or less and it's a more even game.

It was smart football. BAMA had the player's full attention in those summer months. Now, what are they saying about BAMA this week? Oh, they're in mid-season form, a well-oiled machine. Coach Saban is the motivator.
