The compensation committee for the University of Alabama System Board of Trustees voted Tuesday to approve a new contract for Nick Saban, returning the Alabama head football coach to the top of the collegiate compensation heap.

As reported by The Tuscaloosa News, the deal extends Saban one more year through the 2029 season and ends on Feb. 28, 2030. The seven-time national champion (including six titles with the Crimson Tide) will make $10.695 million in 2022 in base salary, talent fee and completion benefit. That figure does not include incentive bonuses.
