[BigDISU1]

I didn't see any compensation for winning the National Championship Thats gotta be worth a few $$

Why? That's his job

[Chipper]

Looks like hieroglyphics!

Ink was running low from Jamie's contract.

That was the holdup on my last contract. It took some time, but they finally agreed to pay minimum monthly club charges. Power to the people.

Even all that crown royal you drink until you fall off the stool every night?

This really isn't as strange as it may sound. Pelini never signed a contract at Nebraska until months after he was hired. If what you read in the Omaha and Lincoln papers was accurate, he and Osborne had talked generalities but nothing even close to specific with regards to money. Pelini said from day one that money was not an issue and there weren't any negotiations. Osborne wanted Pelini and Pelini wanted Nebraska and they worked out the details when time allowed it. Wouldn't it be nice if all coaches contracts went that smoothly. As it turned out, based on what other coaches make, Pelini (with a 9-4 record) was probably one of the most underpaid coaches in the country last year.

Wasn't Solich fired with a 9-3 record?

[Bobber]

We are going to get a ton of value.

Correct!

He's worth every cent

[zach]

He's worth every cent

Agreed!

$100,000 for each championship game win.

I think if he pulls that off he should get a whole lot more money

Dont worry, if he were to do that here, he'd get a boat load of money... but it would be from some other bigtime school

[Erik4Cy]

I certainly hope at some point we have to start paying a couple hundred thousand a year for his services.

Yeah like 700,000 for going 14-0.

[kingcy]

I'm just a little surprised that his contract wasn't signed yet. Without that, how has ISU been paying him since he came aboard?

I think they sign an agreement when they get hired. It does take time to get the fine details worked out. Lawyers need their payday also. McD worked sometime without one. It is not that uncommon to work without one.

"Bob Stoops, Oklahoma, $6.5 million" I say Over Paid.
