Alabama can afford the luxury of Saban.El program generated Crimson Tide football 52 million dollars in revenue last year (Yes, college football is BIG business), and had an estimated $ 32 million in winnings. Yikes, is important benefit. How you would like to run a business that generates value of $ 52 million in revenue and has a 61% profit.?
