The article doesn't say that.

Pearl hasn't signed it. It's a small raise. 1.3m for 2007-08, with increases each year.

Pay the man

AMEN!

Pay the man

Yes! He's the best thing to happen to the men's athletic department in a long time. His worth, not only in wins on the court, but also ambassadorship for the university and his work to get fans involved makes him invaluable to the program.

Give him 4 million a year and let him coach football and basketball.

If I'm UT I'll rename the university after Bruce. The guy is a great coach and it's beyond amazing what he has done for your guys program and the fans.
