There go those low ticket prices

They’ve been gradually increasing over the years. The freebies (non-tix), that were extended to increase the fan base, either no longer exist or are now done at a price. Will be interesting to see what the new AD, used to north Texas area donor dollars the last 7 years, will think about the current pricing rates and earning potential market across all Gamecock sports events.

1. Well deserved

2. She will be able to buy plenty of trash mustard laced bbq sammiches with that salary.

I hope Gamecock fans won't take this the wrong way, but I was hoping she was about ready to try her hand in the WNBA. She's got a machine going right now.

Good for her. She is one of the best in the game right now.

The Sixers are the only franchise I fear in any sport

Ugh.....do they even deserve having a coach like her? The vibe around that team is puzzling.

 

[JellyBean]

Well deserved for Coach Staley.

BOSS!!!!!! A true leader in the sport. An icon. A LEGEND!!!!!

Some of the more interesting parts of her contract…
She Has a 25.5 mil contract thru 2029-30. If she leaves at any time her buyout is the remainder of the contract.

If she leaves for a WNBA or NBA coaching job, there is no buyout.

Interesting. The no buyout clause seems fair to me.

 

[Cockygirl]

I’m hoping she didnt contest the no buyout clause bc she never intends to leave for a professional job!

Today's answer to it....
“I would never leave here to go take another college job,” Staley said. “It’s nothing– like I have the best of the best here. And I really don’t have any– I don’t have a passion for the next level. I don’t. I would have been gone. Like, seriously.”

Her quote about give and take was refreshing. It sounds like the contract negotiations were in good faith. Especially when you see she's willing to pay back South Carolina the balance of her contract if she were to go to another college program to have a guaranteed deal.
