I beleive this will be the largest one year spend in History for a college to spend on a coaching position. I heard it was close to 5 million with the buyout of Daugherty/1st year compensation of Williams.

As for BCG, he was making in the neighborhood of $300K from the school. There was close to $2M in outside payments in his contract. So whoever comes in, will be making that much or more. Add that to the $6M, and you have close to $10M in salary for a Basketball coach at a state school. I'm doing everything in my power to send my daughter to college, and preparing for my son in two years, yet the cost of college expenses are rising faster than I can keep up with. Where's the justice????

Because UK basketball generates enough revenue to pay for the coach. It does not come from taxpayers dollars.
