If I were Michigan, I would tell the NCAA to [uck fay] off, don't ever come back to Ann Arbor and if you do, we have a fleet of lawyers about to pound your stupid organization into the ground.
I figured Michigan has enough institutional clout to tell the NCAA to [uck fay] off. Like North Carolina.
I like the bribery with burgers idea for Michigan. Just send every NCAA employee in Indy a $50 dollar Five Guys gift card. Nobody would ever harshly punish anyone who gifts them the simple joy of a few free greasy and delicious Five Guy cheeseburgers.
If the Tweeter coaches salaries are accurate we need to bump Heupel asap. Inflation blows but he can’t be in bottom 25%
Stoops making 9 million a year from UK just to beat 3 OOC cupcakes while always landing at 3-5/4-4 in the SEC is wild. I remember 15 years ago when Saban being given 4 million a year to coach Bammer seemed like an astronomically high salary.
What is “worth” anyway? All this TV money has to go somewhere. In Heupel’s case, I’m not sure you could quantify the incremental value he’s provided over what you had with Pruitt, both to the University and the entire city.
Andy Staples has been out there for a couple years saying Stoops has the best job in football. This is exactly why.
Kiffin has it good now too. He can win 8 a year at Ole Piss and collect pay checks until he decides to quit or do something else.
Well you can start by paying him more than that psycho at So Car. Salaries have gone up fast, but you can’t get caught being out of market. Heupel AND some of his staff are really solid coaches. Garner, Ellarbee, Halzle all need to be paid very competitively. You might argue Pope as well. There is real player development going on there
They will all get pay bumps. Heupel doesn't seem the type to be worried about where he ranks in pay to his peers. He wants to rank ahead of them in wins.
I bet local bar/restaurant owners could give you a pretty concrete value differential in revenue between the Heupel years and all the dip shits that came before him.
