Today in the NCAA Cartel
By A humble public servant is finally able to trade up from one of his modest vacation homes:
It’s good to be a wildly successful head coach of athletes who don’t get paid. Nick Saban will make $5.6 million in base salary this year, so it’s time to trade up from his North Georgia vacation home. Because sometimes, an $11 million house with a freaking lighthouse isn’t swank enough.
Via the Atlanta Business Chronicle, “The Pointe on Lake Burton” is up for auction next month, originally listed at $10.95 million, but selling without reserve. It’s a lovely little waterfront property in Clayton, Ga., nestled on a peninsula jutting out into Lake Burton, “the queen of the southern lakes,” as the listing puts it.
In conclusion, if one of Saban’s players received a free pair of shoes or an extra Big Mac on a recruiting visit, the Noble Ideals of Amateurism would be destroyed forever.
