Oh I know and now what.. like you said earlier its hard to draw a big time coach not counting big time players... So where does UK go from here... I do know though that when UK hired Rick P he turned it down at first before they came back to him and he took the job.

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.
