Crean $20,000 for perfect academic progress rate

Maybe this is what Glass meant when he called Crean 'elite'? ;)

I do know they pay people to go and make sure the players are in class.

Pretty sure that has been around before.  Not exactly the last two coaches, but Knight had something similar.  If you missed class you better be dying or you will wish you were.

When I was in school (RMK era 1994-1999) I heard some of the guys only showed up for tests/quizzes...so I'm guessing it was more about making sure they were at class on the necessary days.  Heck I had a class with Larry Richardson and he definitely did not show up for every session.

Not sure this is uncommon. Matta's father in-law has the same position at OSU.

You can pay the whole student body to make sure these guys are in class, they still have to get the grades. Let's not take that way from them, please.

You can usually tell by listening to 30 seconds of an interview which ones are capable and which aren't.

seriously though.

 

for example, you can tell right away that Cody Zeller wasn't a very smart guy.  :dancer:

Dude, your act is so old it is written on stone tablets.

So no bonus then?

Don't know about his new contract, but the additional contract got him $25k for making the tournament, $25k for winning first game and $35k for winning second game (making Sweet 16), which means the 2012 run netted him a bonus of $85k.

 

He didn't have any provisions in his original contract for making the NIT, but he earned at least $125k bonus for winning the B1G regular season in 2013 (he had signed the extension by then, but old contract had $125k bonus).

How many of these would $20,000 buy? He surely needs them.

He does enough clapping on his own, those aren't needed.  And when he really gets serious, he pulls up his pants.

Agreed.  Some hating is fine if they have something substantial to add.  Just hating to get a reaction is pretty much gonna be done or some are going to have to find a different board that fits them better.

I just figured his hands will be raw by the time he's 50. Maybe some hand lotion and quality leather belts.

Eh, as much sideline clapping as he's done in 6 years here he's probably got enough calluses built up to last 3 people a lifetime.

 

Before anyone gets completely unhinged at that comment, I'm joking....well, kind of...sort of.
