You are absolutely right, and I mentioned this in another thread. UK will attempt to hit a homerun, so if this thing stretches into next week, I expect that Billy D, John C, or Rick P to be offered so much Money, that it will be virtually impossible to turn down. Now what many don't realize, the salary is a base, and it proportionate to others in the school. I don't recall the BCG deal, but even though it was reported as something like $2.3M, he was really only making in the neighborhood of $300K from the school as salary. The rest of the package is outside (booster) money, listed something like other duties or something to that nature. BCG was basically making 300K to coach for UK, and $2M to be a figurehead for the Boosters.

I could easily see something in the neighborhood of $6M+ being offered before this is over.

You are right the school only pay a little while the rest of the money comes from boosters, commercials and other endorsements. That is something BCG did not understand, you are a promoter of UK in everything you do. The coach at UK is somewhat of a celebrity. I really expect Jon C to show real interest in the next few days. I personally like Travis Ford because he is a former plaer from KY and has improved every program he has been with and showed at OSU this year he can play with the big dogs.
