The SEC West, whose roster includes Alabama, LSU, Texas A&M, Auburn, Arkansas, Ole Miss and Mississippi State, is generally regarded as college football’s toughest division.
The MW West, whose roster includes Fresno State, San Diego State, San Jose State, Nevada, UNLV and Hawaii, isn’t anywhere close.
Keep that in mind as you read the bonus clauses contained within the five-year contract that Fresno State gave Jeff Tedford to turn around its woebegone football program.
If Alabama wins its Southeastern Conference division and plays for the SEC championship, Nick Saban gets a $75,000 bonus.
