Baghdad Bob? That you? I had no idea you made it out.Barnes is not leaving UT and he is not angling for a raise either. With his season and National Coach of the Year, Fulmer will reward him generously. Barnes has not been concerned with his own personal money...remember he was paying some of his own money to keep has best assistant coach. Barnes will finish his career at UT.
State tax for those making 1 mil plus is 13.5% in CAThe major cost of living difference between LA and Knoxville comes down to housing costs. Outside of that LA isn't much more expensive to live in than Knoxville. Utilities are actually 2 percent cheaper in LA. Household goods/food cost is only 9 percent higher in LA. The average cost of healthcare is actually 35 percent lower in LA. But housing is 327 percent higher in LA, a home in Knoxville averages around 156,000, in LA almost 700,000. I don't know that Barnes would be looking to put down permanent roots there so not sure that housing would be a huge factor.
You forgot state income tax. Sales tax is about the same. Income tax on income over million is over 13%.The major cost of living difference between LA and Knoxville comes down to housing costs.

I can't imagine you've been to Austin then. It's extremely liberal and was named the 2nd best city for a liberal to live in recently, finishing only behind Seattle. It's easily the most liberal area of Texas and compares favorably to Chicago, New York and Los Angeles on that scale. It's a huge city, about 5 times the size of Knoxville as well. The cost of living there is much closer to LA than Knoxville. It's considered a major outlier in Texas compared to the rest of the state.

That’s against NCAA rules, Barnes can’t do that so I’m going to say that’s Urban Legend.Barnes is not leaving UT and he is not angling for a raise either.

7 million is about even money for a move to California compared to his salary here factoring in cost of living.
