Lincoln Riley *Rumored* Contract Details

Submitted by CTSgoblue on November 29th, 2021 at 6:05 PM

Wow if true. Don’t know how much you can trust twitter (probably can’t), but here is what I saw:

- $110 million
- USC buying both his homes in Norman for $500,000 over asking ($1 million bonus)
- Buying a $6 million home in LA for him
- Unlimited use of the private jet 24/7 for family

Why are you so "disgusted" by what some University is offering LR?  Were you equally distraught when Michigan offered JH $7 million, did you give up on your Michigan fandom?  Should we all get the same salary, America was built off of hard work and now you are unhappy that someone wants to pay him some big money for what he has accomplished - have we/you fully embraced socialism? 

Then it must also bother you that singers or actors can make $20 - $50 million per year, as I am sure you never go to their concerts or subscribe to Spotify to help them make even more?  I have a very tough time when people are "disgusted" that someone makes more than them.

We stand together on many of the things you mentioned.  However, I'm pretty sure he is referring to the fact USC can pay a coach that much money because the players are paid well below market value.  Which ironically is a pretty socialistic system the players find themselves in.  I did my best to avoid politics in my reply mods. If I stepped over the line, please delete it.

On the plane tonight? I make that deal. Damn good deal! And that pretty little nest you feathered for yourself, well if you're willing to bbq the fans of Oklahoma, I suppose that's worth some considerations. But I do have one question. When you get to that place in Malibu I imagine you're going to take off that handsome OU visor of yours ain't you? Now that's what I can't abide. So I'm going to give you something you can't take off.

This is honestly the dirty secret of OSU’s ascendency to the elite of the elite the past few years. 

Their best players have come from Texas, Florida, and California while the flagship programs in those states have all simultaneously suffered historic lulls. 

If we want to get level with OSU again, we should all be wishing for Texas, USC, Florida, Florida State, and Miami to get their shit straight. That will do more to bring OSU back to earth than anything.

If true, crazy money for sure.  Mel Tucker type money in Southern California at a private university for a Coach who is 55 and 10 vs. 17 and 14 at a public university.  The State of California will get 13 percent right off the top vs. 4.25 % flat tax in Michigan.  Crazy.
