In a move that’s sending shockwaves through the world of college football, legendary former Alabama Crimson Tide head coach Nick Saban and a former Alabama quarterback have announced a staggering $10 million donation to the University of Alabama football program. The gift is not only a tribute to the program’s storied legacy but also a heartfelt gesture to honor the coaches, teammates, and players who helped pave the way for both men’s successful careers.
The donation, one of the largest ever made to a college football program, will be used to support player development, academic resources, and state-of-the-art training facilities. Sources close to the program say the funds will also go toward preserving Alabama’s rich football tradition while enhancing opportunities for future student-athletes.
In a joint statement, Saban and the former quarterback emphasized the importance of giving back to the program that shaped their lives. “This is about legacy,” said Saban. “It’s about honoring the people—coaches, teammates, staff—who poured their hearts into building something special. And it’s about making sure the next generation has every chance to succeed, on and off the field.”
The announcement was met with an outpouring of support from the Alabama community and the wider football world. Athletic Director Greg Byrne called the donation “transformative” and praised the duo for their continued commitment to the university.
With this contribution, Saban cements his legacy not only as one of the greatest coaches in college football history but also as a mentor and philanthropist committed to the long-term success of the Crimson Tide.
More details about how the funds will be allocated are expected in the coming weeks.
