Why does everyone think that UT is always "Big Oil" money? People do realize that there are "Big Oil" in LA/Alabama as well right?
exactly. just off the coast there are oil rigs everywhere. there's also natural gas and coal in Bama, too.
there's going to be a certain threshold out there that even the richest person or people would look at something and realize it's not worth that much. Is winning a natty and having bragging rights for a short time worth 100 or 150 million dollars?
Sure, what Bama has been paying for Saban up till now has been worth it since it helped Bama grow the school, but from what I understand TX doesn't need any help in that department...?

Size wise, no. Limited by the state, taking only top 7% (I think that's the latest number I saw) of students now.
"Prestige"/rankings, nah. They are one of the top ranked public schools in the country.
A good football team does draw more donations to the public size, see Ohio State. That is one place winning could help them.
