Are the RSA perks based on entire pay package or just the part paid from UAB funds? (UA only pays about $200,000 of Coach Saban's $7.5 million annual pay) Since RSA retirement benefits are based on level of pay (best 3 of last 5 years after ten years of service to be vested), such arrangements for coaches become very important later.

Only the portion that is paid by UAB

There's no way Saban's full salary is TRS eligible. First, Saban would be docked 6% off the top. Then, the University would have to contribute an additional 12.24%, which at $7.5m would be almost a million dollars by itself. That's likely the entire reason that "talent fees" are used with coaches so often. David Bronner would probably have a stroke if they tried that
