Our 1.5 million dollar man.

[Guest Ari_Hinkelberger]

So his base salary is 200K + 50K for TV + 4,200 for a country club membership + 3k or more for season tickets + a few thousand if Mattis gets some good grades + zero dollars for all our post season appearances.

'

My math gets me to somewhere around 500K to send this guy on the next Jet Blue flight out of Tampa.

Interesting... where did you find this information?

"Spouse travel to one regular season game, C-USA tourney, NCAA tourney or NIT and annual coaches convention"

It seems that she hasn't been traveling too much.  I wonder how they came up with one regular season game travel for Mrs. McCullum.

low goals on season ticket numbers

[AndytheBull]

Is 10 different threads a day every day really necessary?

btw, I dont care anymore. If we cant do it financially, that would be the main reason for him to stay IMO. Its Woolards descion. I said all season(yes, you can look that up) that I thought "significant improvement" meant making the Big East tourney, which was reasonable and there is about a 95% chance that wont happen now.

Steve, please, there are multiple ways to define "an embarassment" and we still allow you to chime in whenever you feel.

(I'm back for some vitriol)

Ari, fork over 500K and I am on your side.
