Well much to my chagrine, this blog from the LA Times is quoting an anonymous source that Alleva is indeed paying Nikki Caldwell $900K/year to coach the LSU women's basketball team.......which of course is slightly above the $700K/year that I've been tellin' yall that Joe was going to pay the next women's basketball coach at LSU.

Nikki Hits the Jackpot!

A little less than I thought.

That is very good though.

Does the women's basketball team bring in that much revenue to merit that salary?

stupid, stupid, and stupid... there is NO reason a coach's salary should get tripled... how could LSU not negotiate for less?

Good for her and LSU. You have to pay to hire and retain quality.

I hope TAF is paying this.... The State is broke and they are cutting out/ merging universitites and we can give a cool mil to a women's basketball coach where they will NEVER be able to make enough money on tickets adn concessions to break even...
Gotta Love that Title IX.
