Alabama has recently made a significant investment in its football program by awarding a three-year contract worth nearly $2.5 million to general manager Courtney Morgan, a key behind-the-scenes staffer for head coach Kalen DeBoer. This move highlights the increasing trend of college teams operating similarly to professional franchises.
The compensation committee of the university system's board of trustees approved the deal, which averages $825,000 annually, totaling $2.475 million. Morgan's role as a general manager could potentially set a new standard for compensation in personnel departments within college football programs.
