Even with SHU being Shaheen's alma mater, and him being a Jersey guy, nobody would blame him for moving to Kentucky for $6mm. Same with other head coaches that are at lesser major programs. Do your homework and find the right guy. Throwing obscene money at someone else's guy is an 80's Yankees move (and I'm a Yankee fan). I know they have tons of money from the SEC television contract and donors, but it's still inappropriate for a state institution to go so high above market rates. My opinion, of course. Maybe UK will have to take more students to help pay for the coach's salary. They have some wiggle room with their acceptance rates. I mean, they're at 95% acceptance rate now so you may as well just got to 100%. Will there really be an impact on student quality? [/QUOTE]
