Buzz Bissinger, he of Friday Night Lights fame, turns in a very worthwhile read on college football and Nick Saban, head coach of the Alabama Crimson Tide. Bissinger thinks our priorities are a little askew when a football coach earns $3.75 million in base salary, 25 hours of non-commercial airline flights, a free country club membership, two cars for use by his family, and incentive bonuses for reaching a bowl, winning the game, and being named coach of the year. And, oh yeah, graduating his players.
Saban's team went 6-6 last year, meaning he made $583,000 per win. Average faculty salaries at Alabama are $116,00.
