I think UT is overpaying.
uh what? She has more wins than any other coach in the history of college basketball. How many national titles? How many Top 5 rankings? How many people go to watch the Lady Vols at TB just to watch her coach? A TON!
No Pat Summit...no tons of ticket sales for the women's basketball program.
That woman has earned her paycheck. All the money she brings into that school because she is the coach?
You have got to be kidding me??? This comment baffles me!
UT is on the map because of her and Fulmer. No Summit or no Fulmer and we would have zero titles in womens basketball or football.
So she doesn't deserve the money because noone else is getting that much? Funny, I thought it was up to UT as to how much she earns. I figured that 6 NC's, and Final Fours every year deserved like 800k a year...especially when Pearl gets over 1.2 mil. after his first season.
From the budget, it looks like the women's program has over 4 million in revenue...we can afford to pay Summitt what she deserves, not what people think she deserves because it's women, rather than men.
Should Pearl make anything close to Fulmer? I mean, look at the revenues.... (/sarcasm)
