Message: [QUOTE="billybud, post: 2360168, member: 3850"] Is Urban an employee of Nike?...is Harbaugh also an employee of an apparel company? Both receive more coach's compensation from their apparel sponsor than did Pitino. It seems to be the way many schools are doing business. When a coach is paid millions and the amount available from state funds is under $400,000, the money is structured to be paid to the coach in other ways. Whether it is Saban, Urban, Harbaugh...or a new coach at Oregon... "ESPN’s Darren Rovell reported on Saturday that Phil Knight, Nike’s founder and Oregon’s biggest booster, is willing to possibly throw $10 million/season at a new head football coach. Knight, 78, desperately wants to see his Ducks win a national championship." [/QUOTE]
