THEGINOCIMOLICONSPIRACY

]]> <![CDATA[]]> @Chamomiles Davis: it was only once a year, thank God. We needed beer money for our rugby tours! It's understandable!

One year while touring Florida, we stopped in Panama City with our tourbuses, and we set one up as a fake cab service. We'd park outside the big clubs and drive people back to their hotels, charging 20 bucks a head for groups of 6 or more. After 4 hours, we had enough to pay for our hotel suites in Clearwater, and 4 kegs the first night we were there.

That's better, right?

LingeringBursitis

Hungover as fuck, showing up at 6am on a late-November morning to sweep mountains of fries and burger wrappers into the aisles, then fucking bag it all and transport all the bags to the dump. Ugh.

My guess is Jo Pa brings in 2M a year.

At UConn I know Coach Calhoun makes most of his money through public speaking, endorsements and shoe/clothing contracts with Nike. I'm sure its that way with most public university coaches just for the reasons you stated. In fact at UConn the salaries of Calhoun/Auriemma and Edsall all come from funds raised by athletic boosters and non of the money is budgeted by the state.

Seriously though, the fact that it's so low, and that he admitted that he makes more in endorsements, shows how much class he has.
