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
OXFORD, Miss. (WTVA) - Ole Miss campus police ask students to behave at future baseball games following a recent incident.
The university said students were reportedly throwing rocks at Georgia baseball players during last weekend's series.

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!

Yep, we have our priorities all out of order. This will not only be the demise of college sports but of our entire culture. The bubble will burst at some point.

But is it the price of being competitive? At least in UGAs and Kirby's situation? He was making 7mil per year. Did they even have to pay him that to lure him from Bama? Probably not.
Then They raised to 10, for what? Was someone trying to buy him away? Does anyone really believe he would leave his alma mater after winning a nc? I don't.
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.
"After dealing with Ole Miss for over a year," he said, "I've learned to expect their leadership to do and say things that the leadership at other Division I schools would never consider doing and to justify their actions by reminding themselves that "We're Ole Miss.""

Good for him. The market seems to demand these amounts. It is really you get what you pay for. I wish MSU would have given Saban 40 million dollars per year staring in 2006.

Kirby was making $3.5-4M on his original deal, then extended to 7/49 prior to this most recent extension...
Dig on these numbers (>=9):
Smart, UGA - 11.25
Saban, Bammer - 10.6
Riley, USC - 10.0
Day, Ohio St - 10.0
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! *******
