Takeaways?

• If we spend about $5.5 to $6 million annually on a basketball coach, we would STILL be only fourth or fifth in the B1G on combined coach salary. If we spent $7.5 million annually on the new basketball coach, we'd still be third in conference!!
• The basketball program budget is set to be a serious beneficiary of the long-term Tom Allen deal.

I noticed a two interesting things about this. First, Purdue is the only Big Ten school that pays their basketball coach more than the football coach (besides us).
Second, Wisconsin pays nothing to Gard compared to all of the other coaches. Even Rutgers pays their guy more than double Gard's salary. And yet Wisconsin still get at least decent results.

Brohm(Purdon't) is reported to have been given a 6 yr/$20 mn deal while PJ Fleck(Minnesota) is getting $3.5 mn next year.
