"Otter: Dead! Bluto's right. Psychotic... but absolutely right. We gotta take these bastards. Now wecould do it with conventional weapons, but that could take years and cost millions of lives. No, I think we have to go all out. I think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody's part!
Bluto: We're just the guys to do it."
did he not do so at Vandy?
Right, but could someone offer him $5MM per year + $3MM per year deferred for 5 years? At the end of 5 years he would receive a payout of $15MM. Essentially the offered salary is competitive for a coach who was fired ($5MM), but it becomes a more attractive option for Franklin - He would theoretically receive $5MM from the school, $3MM in offset from PSU, and another $3MM in escrow. Just a concept.

I'm not clear on why the NFL deserves criticism for paying their coaches high numbers. The NFL makes more money and doesn't get it by charging college students Athletic Fees

between florida and lsu negotiations, and ole miss trying to keep him...kiffin is gonna make 15+ mill next year
Something happening this week.
Damn it -2-4 - Stanford just had to give up a TD with less tan 30 seconds to blow the spread; OK couldn't win at home; damn Illini crapped the bed against WA; and despite Vandy managing to beat their spread, the TN curse continued and despite a furious comeback to win after digging a VT-sized early hole, Memphis only managed to just miss the spread. )
DAMN the accuracy of the oddsmakers.....
he's a douche and he got a kid killed in practice
Does there need to be more than this?
I saw it coming and thought, fumble in 3, 2 , 1...
Her payment should have been as caregiver then.
$ 8 million? I don't think so.
Juries be crazy, because they think they're sticking it to the man, not realizing that THEY are also the man, as any costs come back to the people. The NCAA is a nonprofit.
What's the backstory on Kelly? I don't remember one other than he's a douche and he got a kid killed in practice.
Les Miles was fired after a 2-2 start after going 114 - 34 at LSU. That's 82%.
Kelly is the first LSzuv coach the century to not win a national championship.
Saban was 73%, Orgeron was 69% with cobud and 73% without. Brian Kelly is 70% so below everyone.
But shouldn't she then have to file her own lawsuit v. NCAA?
And how were they grossly negligent to her??
Was the NCAA supposed to put a waiver on his marriage application "this man played football and may (or may not) have violent outbursts and cognitive decline in the future"??
And where does this stop?...are high school athletic associations now also liable? Pop Warner leagues too??
Those parts I can't reconcile.

# | NCAA loses concussion lawsuit. Ordered to pay $18M to single plaintiff The logic presented was that the Wife has suffered the last 15 or so years having to be the caregiver. I think there was also testimony to violent outbursts attributed to the CTE.

# | Hokie Hoops Central: Duquesne at Virginia Tech 1pm TODAY (Scrimmage) 23-24 can agree but not 22-23. That season got derailed by Rice and Maddox and by the end of the season the rest were worn out. Too many minutes with the limited bench on that team. Three starters averaged 33+ minutes per game. Lost six of their last eleven games and most of those losses happened in the final four minutes of play.
Yes, this makes so little sense.
You establish that CTE can only be diagnosed via autopsy and many of the symptoms are similar to Alzheimer's--which also does not have confirmatory testing until autopsy. Alzheimers is not necessarily related to Football but a jury can confidently conclude that not only are his symptoms definitely from CTE related to Football but the NCAA was grossly negligent? For potential injury that would have occurred nearly 50 years ago??
Then how does the wife also get $8mil if she didn't actually suffer the direct effects? Were they even married when he was playing?
Absolutely Bizarre logic.
No criticism for the NFL then? They already have their Anti-Trust exemption yet they are paying coaches even more than the NCAA and they have guaranteed contracts so when they fire a coach it's a full payout. Only area the NFL does better is in terms of the lengths of their contracts. NFL is normally four to five years versus the seven or eight. They also don't have many that get rolling contracts
You could easily argue that being a college P4 coach is harder and definitely more time consuming than an NFL head coach.
Andy Reid is making $20M a season. Sean Payton $18M. Mike Tomlin $16M. You do have a few that are making less than $5M a season though.
The other area that makes it possible for the coaching salaries to be so high in college is the quantity of jobs. NFL has 32 gigs. P4 has 67 jobs + Notre Dame. Any given cycle there are about 15-20 of these jobs open but as we have discussed in depth on here, only about 5 or so top candidates available. Supply and demand favors the coaches in almost every cycle.
Most schools aren't crying poor, they are frustrated that there are basically no rules around compensation. NFL players movements are restricted but they have contracts. NCAA can't have actual pay for play contracts until they have the Anti-Trust exemption so then you now have mid-season portal entries, coaches are now in the cycle of recruiting high school, recruiting your existing roster every offseason, recruiting the portal to try to replace who left, managing NIL, managing revenue sharing, and while all that is going on still you know....COACH.
Waste of money.
Meant to be punitive, doesn't benefit enough victims. Benefits the lawyers, though.
That unfortunately is the buttered slope we are facing and the angle keeps getting more severe.
The American way of it has to be someone else's fault for my choices.
