<p>NET income of $31M…amazing. That is pure profit after paying for all that it does…all sports (male and female), their coaches, scholarships, facilities, etc. </p>

<p>Amazing.</p>

<p>and…the best part…Saban’s new contract that goes to 2019. The guy is just a money-making machine for the school. </p>

<p>Thank goodness Miss Terry loves T-town…</p>

<p>*Speaking about the new contract extension approved this afternoon, Alabama coach Nick Saban said he was contacted about other jobs in January.</p>

<p>But, ** with consultation with wife Terry **, he decided to spend the rest of his career at Alabama.</p>

<p>Saban did not identify the outside interests who made inquiries.*</p>

<p>Glad to know that Bama will be the last stop for the Sabans.</p>
