OT: Self gets lifetime deal

[uconngb]

And people thought he might get punished for his transgressions. Punished?? He just got a LIFETIME contract. Think Les Miles is wondering what’s up???

 

[BGesus4]

Or the punishment is way more severe than anyone thought

 

[tcf15]

My god, his contract stipulates that he will not be fired regardless of what will happen in the infractions case. The things that happen when a donor is running your athletic department.

Now THAT is hilarious. Most contracts have a morality clause where if you F up you’re fired. His has a clause where they are EXPECTING him to be found guilty of something and all it costs him is an adjustment to his lifetime salary.

Good god!!!

This smells like the athletic department was fully aware about all the cheating. Self probably said that if he goes down, he is taking the whole athletic department down with him.

And they forced Miles out for something that happened at another school. Talk about the inmates running the asylum. Holy s_it.

Makes it pretty clear how they want him to handle recruiting going forward

Why would we ever want to defile something as pure as college sports by compensating the players?

Assistant coaches in FB are making over $2M. That's disgraceful.

 

[Letsgohuskies11]

they were probably worried he'd go to UNC LOL

It's Kansas.

If there was a god, the Rotten Fruit would give nose picker a lifetime contract.
This contract stinks something fierce. ? I don't have a good theory on it, but given the infractions still being out there, it doesn't sound right.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

The NCAA needs villains so at least we have one sticking around for a while.

 

[bendm]

how does KU get crazy rich alumni to personally finance the basketball program? it's a similarly sized public university, where are UConn's boosters at?

 

[ucp990411]

I would hope this is an April fools joke

Wow... actually speechless after what just happened with les miles. This is like a you to the NCAA, unless of course they’re in cahoots and paying off Emmett and the NCAA, which I wouldn’t put pass all of them

I wonder the same thing about SEC programs. Where the hell are they getting all these uber rich alumni that give their life savings to athletics? Their academics are not any better than UConn other than Vanderbilt and maybe Georgia/Florida.

Isn't that lyric in an Alanis Morissette song, "Got a lifetime contract, and died the next day. Isn't it ironic? Don't ya think? A little too ironic? Yeah, I really do think."

 

[Waquoit]

And to think Lew Perkins was too corrupt for these guys.

 

[kansashusky]

UConn was my first love, but I am a Kansas Alum.

Love that Bill will be around forever. Everyone here can act holier than and keep your head in the sand, but if you are a smart athletic department, you keep your HOF coach happy. With the rumors of him going to San Antonio, this was needed.

 

[SportsFan88]

Talk about slimy LOL

 

[mussels]

If the NCAA had a sense of humor they would permanently ban him just so Kansas would have to keep paying him.

 

[ihatepants]

So a state that just this year suspended tenure protections so they have cover to fire professors and which is absolutely not hiring anybody to new tenure lines is handing out lifetime contracts to a coach who already makes at least the salary of any ten professors before endorsements. Good stuff.

Most UConn alum are tied down paying the insane taxes in the Northeast states

How do you compensate them?
