Schools should offer Nick Saban $30 million a year to return to coaching
For Saban, I would offer 30 million. When he was at Alabama, I tried to calculate what he's actually worth... and 30 million was still a bargain. Offer Nick Saban 30 million and see if he'll leave college game day. I don't think he will.

If Kentucky's 10 and two, they're making the playoffs. So it—there's not really a style point situation that they've gotta worry about. They just have to keep winning.
BYU could make the playoff without winning the Big 12
I don't know that BYU has to win the Big 12 now to make the playoff. If you have a 12-and-0 Texas Tech and they beat BYU in the Big 12 championship game and hand them, let's say, their second loss, they're both getting in.
The 24-team playoff will not kill college football
I do not think this is gonna kill the sport. I don't think it's gonna kill the regular season.
