Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Tuesday, May 23, 2006

Pat Summitt got a raise yesterday. A pretty big raise. Actually the amount of the raise is not as significant as the fact that with this extension, Summitt becomes the first women's basketball coach to earn over $1 million in a season. (Geno will go over $1 million in the 2007-08 season).

The contract is being called landmark and a milestone by the Lady Vols athletic department and Summitt. The Knoxville News-Sentinel article also includes a chart with a year-by-year breakdown of Summitt's salary.
