Give Nick a raise. He deserves it.

Auburn managed a $13.6 million deficit.
Most of the deficit was attributed to Nick Marshall's elocution lessons.
I'll let you do the math.According to the documents obtained by AL.com, Alabama's athletics department generated 33,050,145 more than it spent in 2013-13. That's up from the $27.2 million surplus in 2012-13 and continued the trend of surpluses in recent years. It hasn't operated at a loss in the last 10 years, according to documents obtained through public records requests.
The athletics department transferred $9.1 million back to the university last year after contributing $5.9 million a year earlier.
Auburn insists in trying to match Alabama in football, even if the revenue doesn't justify it. It's another reason the rivalry is unhealthy, that money has to come from somewhere else and I'm sure a fair bit of it ends up coming from the pockets of taxpayers.Beating the Barn in football and finances.
Tideman09, my friend, the barners will one day break the bank trying to keep up with big brother!Yup..Paying for all those players & ex-coaches is really expensive it seems like in Lee County..Here's an AL.com article about The Barn's struggles..

Title loan? Oh, I can't pass this up. The first title was tainted with probation. The second title was tainted with buying Cam. I don't think Title Max will touch it :biggrin:It kind of reminds me of the arms race between the USA and Russia. We broke their bank by out spending them on arms.
The barn will do anything to keep up with Bama but they never will.Maybe we should offer them a title loan at about 100% interest.
I think a lot of the credit should go to the student athletes at the University.Coach Saban deserves all the credit in the world, but the person who really deserves credit is Coach Mal Moore. He may go down as the best athletic director in school history. What a legacy!
Dr. Witt's blank check he gave Moore was a big help as well.I think a lot of the credit should go to the student athletes at the University.
