🏈 Alabama players received National Championship rings tonight

[OldPlayer]

Does anyone know what the cost of this ring ?

a little over $400/ea. the ncaa puts a limit on how much can be spent.

Building on what sk33tr is saying here...

The limit by the NCAA on National Championship rings is $415. The rule is worded along the lines of "any single item from the National Championship can't exceed..."

On the same lines, there's rules about Conference rings as well. IE: Auburn's Western Division ring can't exceed $325. I don't know how the UCF ring falls--there's a clause about awarding agencies being limited to $325 but then we have the conflict of "is it a NC ring, or does it fall under an outside agency ring?"

I'm sure a Google search on awards will give full detail.

No one answered my question above, are Coach Saban's actual gold and diamonds, or does he receive the same as the players?

If they are the same as the player's, I would love to hear how much value is added on simply because they are his.

He gets what they get. Value is in the eyes of the beholder. IF they were for sale (they're not), what somebody would pay determines the value.

Well of course, but just think for a second. An NFL ring is real gold and diamonds and go for $20-50,000. Just think of how much the ring of the best coach ever would go for? Collectors would kill for the opportunity.

But it isn't for sale, and won't be. Don't get bogged down in "what-ifs."

Geez dude, you need to lighten up a hair, too uptight. It's just something to think about. Your life can't be that full of things where you can't play a quick game with yourself and think of the possibilities. You're posting on here, so you have time and not getting "bogged down" by anything. And if you are in fact that busy, just move on down the road.

Whoa, whoa, whoa! Don't get your panties in a wad. The value of the rings isn't in the material it's made with. The value is in the accomplishment. Is there value in a ring that CNS probably won't ever put on a finger? You know that he's going to put it on his desk or table in his office and show it off to recruits. I'm not, and wasn't, slamming you. I'm just saying that the value or price of the ring is whatever somebody would pay for it.

Ok, my apologies for taking your response the wrong way. It was more just a fun question to think about. I agree, it will never be worn and most likely stay in a glass case. I've just been watching Pawn Stars and got curious about the value someone would put on Coach Saban's ring, especially since the materials were worth a lot less than the value the man it belinged to brings to it.

If it was available, and you had enough money to burn, what would you pay for it? I'm not a collectibles guy so I wouldn't pay a penny. Not my ring, I didn't contribute on the field to win it, couldn't wear it (even if it fit), and I'd get tired of the "how did you get this" question.

I wouldn't be shocked at all if $200,000-300,000 would take it. Not bad considering it cost under $500 to make.

I'll need a few training sessions with Cochran to be able to walk around with that big boy on my finger.

If you look at the actual size, I don't think you'll be challenged. The box is 7 cm x 7 cm by 5 cm. Yes, centimeters.

Meanwhile back at the barn, they too are still in celebration mode.
