Message: [QUOTE="pj, post: 2654628, member: 2524"] A few comparables: - John Calipari receives $50k for every APR >975 APR: [URL='http://sports.usatoday.com/2017/05/03/john-calipari-to-earn-50000-bonus-for-uks-academic-progress-rate/']John Calipari to earn $50,000 bonus for UK's academic progress rate[/URL] - Roy Williams receives $75k for every APR >975: [URL='https://www.cbssports.com/college-basketball/news/unc-ups-roy-williams-contract-through-2019-20-season/']UNC ups Roy Williams' contract through 2019-20 season[/URL] The APR, we know, is a sham. But it's a sham that's important to the NCAA, as it suggests to the casual fan that the NCAA might not be as corrupt as it is. Given that the NCAA punishes harshly those who fail to participate in the sham, and the coach has a role in maintaining the sham, it's reasonable to include an incentive in the contract. UNC rewards Roy Williams for making sure his players get A's in fake classes. Why shouldn't UConn reward Hurley similarly? [/QUOTE]
