Message: [QUOTE="billybud, post: 2360038, member: 3850"] Actually...Pitino didn't take it....the school used that money to fund his coaching salary. According to that article, Pitino got $1.5 million per year the last two years. Probably the amount can be debated, but it ain't illegal....Urban Myer was getting $1.4 million from Nike until the new deal was signed...and now he gets more. "While nothing in Nike's contract with Ohio State identifies Meyer in particular, the AP report indicates the university pays the coach $1.4 million each year "as part of the school's contract with Nike." Harbaugh gets ...."Harbaugh will get a $500,000 annual base salary and $4.5 million annually as "additional compensation" for his TV, radio and other appearances and in "support of the university's shoe and apparel sponsorships."...And you can bet that is several million is shoe company money.
