No offense taken DawgDude (awesome nickname). But my question was hypothetical. Second the price hike the administration just approved was not to cover expenses of current upgrades...it’s to cover what is anticipated in the next 5 years. Those days of being conservative are over. Winning trumps EVERYTHING.
Let’s be real, it wasn’t the history at Bama that brought the kids in. It was Saban and maybe even a tribute to Smart now looking at things. No kids were really looking at Bama until Saban walked in the door. If you gave Saban a state like Texas, California, and Georgia. He would easily won a couple more titles than he won at Bama. If you gave him a city like Austin or Athens. He would have anybody he wanted. So I would say he would have won just as many if he was in Georgia. I also would think Deshaun Watson would have been at Georgia, and Clemson would not have risen to power in college football. So there is a lot to look at here when talking about it.
My man!!!
I still think if Saban was at USC, Texas A&M or Texas he would have his pick. Just because there are other Power 5 programs doesn’t mean there are not 2 or 3 that stand above the rest. When you talk to kids from California and Texas they talk about Longhorns, Trojans, and aggies. He wouldn’t have a problem with any of those schools despite other power 5 schools.
