While scanning the online edition of the Birmingham (Ala.) News today, I ran across these interesting incentives included Saban's contract at the University of Alabama.
* $75,000 for making SEC championship game. (In the bag)
* Additional $50,000 for winning it.
* $65,000 for reaching a bowl game. (Take it to the bank)
* Increases to $90,000 for bowl games such as Chick-Fil-A or Outback. (No problem)
* A BCS bowl appearance makes him $125,000 instead. (Good bet)
* A national championship appearance and it goes up to $200,000.
* A Crimson Tide win? Double it to $400,000.
* Saban can pocket another $25,000 for being named SEC coach of the year (only a conspiracy keeps this from him) and twice that for being the national coach of the year. (Likely, but there is competition)
So what should he get? At a minimum Nick gets an additional $215,000. If he sweeps the incentive-palooza that Bama has set up? $600,000.
How much do you hate him now?

I am not sure to hate him or marvel in the "smarts" of his agent. I bet his agent will get a hefty amount of that bonus.
