I had a fascinating conversation with the head of HR from Alabama a few years ago. Basically no public $ or student tuition goes to the football team. It is either revenue from team, or foundation money that comes from private parties.
The set-up provided her close to zero control over the football program. Saban at the time effectively was funded by a booster foundation. He and his staff were not really "employees" of the University.
