What if Miles leaves and an upgrade can not be put in place? What happens to the staff? The incoming recruits?


So you leverage $25M+ on one recruiting class?

There is absolutely no justification to pay Les that much. I thought we were in a recession and states were struggling to not get into huge budgets, but here's another $11.25 Million Les.

The state has nothing to do with Miles' salary. And it's ludicrous to say that anything was leveraged off of one recruiting class.

I didn't say I agreed with the "logic" of it. I think its somewhat absurd, especially the length and size of guaranteed money, just trying to put into words the thought process on each side.

EDIT: I'm sure there were other concerns on both "sides", and I expressed a somewhat cynical view of things. However, I think think its naive to assume that base motivations don't play into these things.
