I was having these same thoughts about the ACC $ yesterday.  I mean, if you generally do the same thing, and someone gives you $20M per year to do it, instead of $5M, that has to be good right?
 
Then I was trying to think of some of the football factories and wondering where does all their money go?  Understanding that costs increase for, say a 100k capacity stadium vs a 50k capacity stadium.  These schools are filling all 100k of those seats, at least 7 times per year (some 8 times), and at much higher pricing than SU.  Then you figure all the insanely rich die hards who would rather give $1M to the football program than any other charity (including their own bank account), and I just don't know where it all goes?  You pay Saban what, $7M per year?  His staff is paid well, not nearly as well as him.  AD has a nice salary I'm sure, and a happy staff.
 
But seriously, it's not like any of the football factories are building state of the art modern stadiums.  They all play in old stadiums that are supposed to be the big part of their charm.  The indoor facilities that some have are obviously nice, but at what cost, maybe $25M?  Seems like that kind of money could be made over the weekend.
