When Alabama football coach Nick Saban's latest contract extension was announced last week, an 8-year, $74.5 million deal through the 2025 season, there was the usual backlash that no coach, not even Saban, is worth that much.
Kristi A. Dosh doesn't think so.
Dosh, a former attorney, is a sports business analyst who founded BusinessofCollegeSports.com, which provides news and analysis on the business of college sports. She's also authored a book, "Saturday Millionaires: How Winning Football Builds Winning Colleges."
In an article for Forbes Magazine, Dosh provided statistics that she believes makes Saban worth every penny of his new contract extension.
