We're going to get you before you retire, Saban.

There's a CAT 5 headed your way.

I could see the adidas part coming, even before the basketball thing. They need to make us the #1 program in their stable with a sliding guarantee that nobody will surpass our contract.

It's wrong. 6th highest rated game of the year, but we did have the highest rated GameDay of the year.

ABC and ESPN led the way in prime time in week 11 across all networks, as Saturday Night Football featuring Notre Dame at Miami set the pace and Alabama at Mississippi State provided a new cable rating season high. The two games were among the three highest-rated games of the week across all networks and beat Fox head-to-head in prime time. Across the entire 2017 season, both games rank among the top 10 highest-rated games.

The overnight for the Hurricanes’ convincing victory is the sixth highest overnight of the season across all networks and up 13% year-over-year from SNF’s week 11 telecast last season (Michigan at Iowa). The Fighting Irish-Hurricanes matchup beat Fox’ prime time telecast head-to-head by 114%, also a matchup top 10 ranked teams (TCU at Oklahoma).

Um, Acc tv contract. Not a Miami only contract. And it’s already in place.
 
Things are piecing together beautifully.

I don't believe the ABC contract but I could see Adidas wanting to renegotiate the deal to ensure that Miami stays their premium brand in football. I would re-negotiate with Adidas a 20-year, 300 million (15 million per year) dollar contract with stipulations that no school can be paid more than us during the duration of the contract. Similar to the deal that Michigan had with them as their "premier" school.
 
We probably would have had the highest rated game had it not been so many great games on last night at the same time.

If we would have had even half of the Miss St./Bama audience it would have been the 2nd biggest of year

Yeah, our ratings were essentially affected by a breaking news event. Our game was a blowout and people saw that Alabama was losing and checked it out. They said it peaked near the end of the game, which accounts for its unusually high rating.
