GOP Leader: Abortion Is A 'Lifestyle Convenience'

This columnist in the Orlando Sentinel thinks so. With Kentucky desperate for a head coach, and having bags and bags of money to throw around, the suggestion by Mike Bianchi is to pay Billy Donovan $4 million a year (!), comfortably ahead of what football coach Urban Mayer makes (around $2 million per year). I like parentheses.Is it crazy? It doesn't sound like it on the surface, when you compare the challenges and accomplishments by the respective coaches. But that's the thing, a coach's value to a school really doesn't have anything to do with challenges and accomplishmens. Their value is based on -- the only thing their value is based on -- is how much money they can bring into the school. And Florida football is probably always going to bring in more money than Florida basketball.
More people go to football games, the tickets cost more, they sell more jerseys and merchandise, and the TV deals are much bigger for football than basketball. That's the way it is.
Still, though, I don't know that this is a matter of should. Urban Meyer originally signed a 7-year deal at Florida for $14 million, though there are a ton of incentives involved, and I couldn't guess at the actual number. But still, the number being thrown around in regards to the Kentucky job is $3.5 million per year. Somewhere, some way, Billy Donovan is going to be making more than Urban Meyer next year.
