You get to answer great questions like this one...I highly recommend you guys take it.

Mack Brown will receive an $80,000 bonus if Texas achieves a 70 percent graduation rate. If Georgia Tech achieves the same rate, what bonus will Chan Gailey receive?

80K for 70%?

Jeez.

Pretty interesting stuff. I especially found it interesting the Mike Leach has to shell out $500,000 if he wanted to leave Tech, although I assume that's like the Rich Rodriguez situation if he were to go to Miami, the incoming school would cover it and pay WVU. That's a really smart thing to have in a contract, given the nature of coaching in college football today.

I gotta get to Blacksburg to try those Turkey Legs.

Doesn't every coach have such a clause?

MOST coaches that get paid the big bucks have that clause...

According to the survey, Callahan and Ferentz don't.

Two things come to mind:
1. What's a guy making $2 million-plus PER YEAR going to do with an extra 80 grand? Another golf outing in the Fiji Islands?
2. Isn't 70 percent about three times the graduation rate for UT football? Seems to me DeLoss Dodds doesn't have to worry about writing an extra check.
