re: Saban $20 mill in hole due to bad real estate investments w LSU and Bama alums

College football coaches make great marks. They've recently been getting millions dumped in their laps, typically come from poor families, and spent their entire lives revolved around football and pretty much football only due to the time and travel it requires now. They also rub elbows with power players at their schools that have empires and wealth beyond comprehension.

The sharks that are boosters are way more blood thirsty and saavy than a football coach who gets his arse kissed all around the state and has been getting sweetheart deals and hookups for years. There's been some fascinating stories of coaches getting rooked.
