Sonny deserves a raise...

I can assure you that Sonny makes more than that.

Rice and UNT aren't getting their money's worth.

It's strange they can't get a salary for Aranda. It's not like Baylor's administration to hide stuff.

Do not know if his pay still includes monies from his prior contract or not. I hope when his contract is up for renewal they (the school and big boosters) will step up and pay him top dollar instead of turning their backs on the program like they did on bball.
