No I think he's making too much money there too, but when you have as many 8 and 9 figure net worth boosters as they do you can afford to just throw money around like it's going out of style.

I get that. I just think when an employer and employee come to terms, that makes it fair. I never got into Women's hoops before Vic. Vic did a hell of a job and I'm still gut punched over it. I remember getting excited back in the day of Delta State's Natty. Wasn't that Delta State?
