Youngins, there was a time in history when Michigan's coaches, especially the ones for non-revenue sports, didn't make all that much money even adjusting for inflation. I can remember looking at the salary survey and thinking that the golf coach (whose name I can't recall) was barely earning a middle-class salary. Times have changed.

Bo had a famous flirtation with Texas A&M in the early '80s that's briefly mentioned here:

Remember that football (and, to a lesser extent, a couple of other sports) makes those salaries possible.

I wondered what her salary would be after seeing what OU was paying. I know there's a championship bonus in that deal but it still felt like a benchmark to pay attention to. Hutch absolutely deserves it.

Negged for not even bothering to try to bullet or summarize the link.  Wouldn't have taken much....

"Hutch's salary $440k for upcoming season, up from $237k last year.  Keeps her ahead of Eric Bakich's new contract which starts at $400k for the upcoming year.  Hutch's deal goes through the next 5 seasons."
