I hope they crash and burn... I like UGA but when the football coach makes 10 times what the University President makes then it time to rethink ... and I know it's not just UGA ... it's the price of being competitive
Just ridiculous. They seem to be doing everything they can to make college football a watered down NFL minor league. They are killing the golden goose.
LOL!
I'd give my left nut and right kidney to beat them now!
Yea but the CPIQuote:

To me it all seems like spending money just to say you did. Just to have his name above Saban on the salary list.
Well, that has pretty much been UGA's goal this whole time, they want their name above Bama's. UGA's long time jealousy of Bama knows no bounds.Quote:

Kirby was making $3.5-4M on his original deal, then extended to 7/49 prior to this most recent extension...Quote:

Tucker, Mich St - 9.5
Kelly, LSU - 9.5
Dabo, Clem - 9.3
Jimbo, A&M - 9.0
Some of these numbers may/may not be perfectly accurate due to bonuses n seech... feel free to correct, if nec.
We would have to sell campus buildings to be able to pay that amount! Campus would look like a small high school in a couple of years! *******Quote:
