For Jake : Longhorn Fans Dominate

[strife]

Rumors are we offered Saban 100 million for 10 years and 1% of the network. Would make him the highest paid coach in any sport in the US (and third highest in the world behind a couple of kickball coaches who get paid in pounds and only make more because of the exchange rate).

what does 1% of the network typically equate to? I mean 100 for 10 is pretty steep but seeing as you have a football program that probably brings in more revenues than most NFL teams... And your players are basically non-salaried(stipiend/scholarship/money on the side )

I assume he meant the TV network, the Longhorn Network or whatever the hell it's called. The one quick search I did said that it should make 10-15 million a year, but it's not doing that well evidently. So 1% of 10 million is 100k. It's a drop in the bucket for the 10 million a year he would already be making, but still, 50-100k is 50-100k.
