Nick Saban had an INSANE resume at Alabama: • 6x national champion • 9x SEC champion • 206-29 career record in 17 seasons But financially, it's even crazier. The "Flutie Effect" is when athletic accomplishments increase exposure and, eventually, enrollment. And no one did it bigger than Saban. Since Nick Saban arrived in 2007, Alabama's enrollment has increased from 25,000 students to 40,000 students. That's a 60% jump compared to a 10% national average. But the *type* of student matters much more. Alabama went from the majority of its student body consisting of in-state students to the majority now being from out-of-state. This is important because those students pay 3x more in annual tuition — $32,000 vs. $11,000 — and it means Alabama increased its annual revenue by hundreds of millions under Nick Saban. Alabama paid him $130 million over 16 seasons, but you could argue he was worth more than $1 billion. “Nick Saban is the best investment this university has ever made," said Alabama Chancellor Robert Witt.

Ellen in @united baggage services in San Diego is an absolute gem. 2 of our bags didn’t make it and she was as helpful as can be. Even carted them out to the curb when I came to get them

HOLY SHIT LIONEL MESSI WINS HIS DEBUT WITH A FREE KICK IN EXTRA TIME!!! 🐐

Statement attached from former Northwestern coach Pat Fitzgerald to ESPN, which includes that he's hired a high-profile attorney to "take the necessary steps to protect my rights in accordance with the law." Fitzgerald: "I was surprised when I learned that the president of Northwestern unilaterally revoked our agreement without any prior notification and subsequently terminated my employment."

I get that people take vacations this time of year (I worked through the end of mine this weekend). But certain situations require presence and accountability. From the players' tweets tonight, they're not getting answers, either. Who is really in charge at Northwestern?

To zoom in to make a statement like this and leave before allowing time for questions has me baffled… terrible

Love how @ahadwingolf laughed this off. Hadn’t heard of him before this but new fan here!

Brandon Crawford: “I always give pitchers a hard time about it not being hard. I think I proved today that it’s not. They probably don’t love that I have a 0.00 ERA.”

Someone made a very bad update to the junk mail algo on @Outlook

I’ve been told that Andrew Wiggins is back in the Bay Area. He had spent most of the recent weeks out of town.

Damar Hamlin started a toy drive two years ago, as he prepared to try and make it in the NFL, and set a goal to raise $2,500. Bills fans found it tonight, and started donating to it. Current donation total: $905,464 Here's the link ... gofundme.com/f/mxksc-the-cha…

Damar Hamlin's most recent post on Instagram is about his 3rd annual toy drive. The original goal for the drive was $2,500. They have raised around $800,000 in the last few hours alone. 🙏❤️ (🎥: d.ham3/IG)

2/ Then somehow @Hertz confirmed our reservation at a location about 15 min drive from SJC only to arrive and find out anyone that booked that day did NOT have a car ($20 Uber wasted)

Should I step down as head of Twitter? I will abide by the results of this poll.

BREAKING: Shortstop Carlos Correa and the San Francisco Giants are in agreement on a 13-year, $350 million contract, a source familiar with the deal tells ESPN.

There will be a mountain of attention on this -- far too early to know how he died, but Grant Wahl (a wonderful soccer writer) had just published a piece about migrant deaths in Qatar and drew attention for the reaction by security guards when he tried to wear a pride shirt.

Anyone who has any power who cheered for America with the fervor they did for the World Cup should put just as much energy into getting Grant Wahl's body home.

I don't know who has custody of Grant Wahl's body but i hope the State Department, in concert with Grant's family, is arranging to take custody of it ASAP.
