Well, it now appears that Gail G and Kim Mulkey have joined Geno and Pat in the Million Dollar Club. I assume that we'll see three or four more additions in the next couple of weeks.

Sherri Coale will surely be next. (She will not play third fiddle to Texas and Baylor in the Big 12.) Gary Blair might follow as well. The Aggie Women just won their first Big 12 Championship and Billy Gillispie has just gotten $2 million a year to coach the Aggie men.
Will the Florida job come with a membership? Who else?

I'm not sure I believe that Texas gave a guaranteed annual salary of $1 million. Previous articles were coming in around $800,000, which I find more believable, considering where Conradt was at and that Duke paid a lot less.
I think this is all part of the PR machine to build up Coach G- stringing out the decision through the tournament, until it could break on the day of the national championship game (where the audience is the biggest), Coach G as the moral high ground in the game (where's my Maalox?). Coach G all the sudden using "Ya'll" in her speech and now this $1 million dollar report. Granted G did a great job at Duke. However, this stuff is so phony and manufactured. To their credit, certain people know how to work the media to their advantage. And the media that cover WBB is not likely to ever challenge for any kind of intellect awards.

| The word is that Stringer is in line for a new contract, too. Even the governor apparently thinks she should get one.

If Rutgers won't give her one, I bet Duke or Florida or Penn State will.

The speculation in NJ is that LSU is the team that's looking at her. I think she'll just get a raise and stay, though, in part because moving would disrupt the care of her daughter, and in part because I'm pretty sure they'll pay her. (When the governor says you should be paid, it tends to happen.)

| And Corzine definitely knows a thing or two about making money, as well as spending it on his union mistresses.

How much can Rutgers afford to pay her?
Shands Medical Center in Gainesville is affiliated with the University of Florida and should be able to accommodate CVS's needs.
When paying $1 million per year, I'm not sure CVS is the coaching personality Florida is looking for.........especially after the references to Bobbit being a midget and a gnat.............
LSU is more likely, although it's AD is a jerk too. Plus, I don't think LSU will pay the really big bucks.
Just my opinion, not saying I'm right........

Also, I'm a little worried about her lack of an offensive scheme beyond "let's dribble and pass for ten seconds, drive and see what happens". But at least she has a track record of some kind of postseason success (Final Four berths).
Unless, of course, he brings Big Syl with him.
