Deion Sanders - HC Jackson State

Dukes gets information from Neely and thus from Prime
Rick George has to figure this out and just absolutely go big on this contract.
I am sure that the Settlement is worrisome, but this is put up or shut up time
The Big 12 should owe us a viewership bonus check after every game
 
I think there’s a range of contract values Prime would accept that are short of the $20MM/yr or “highest paid coach in the country” benchmarks

Has he said he’ll leave if he isn’t the highest paid coach in the country? I missed that if so
Highest paid coach in the country would be right at about $13m/year (Kirby), not $20m, so let's have an honest discussion here (I know that's rare on AllBuffs). And of course Prime hasn't said anything like that, and I more or less agree with what you're saying. I'm just saying that the idea of making Prime the highest paid coach in CFB is not really that crazy based on the impact he has already had and will continue to have on this University.

If we're being honest, most big time CFB coaches are very much underpaid relative to the value they bring their University. Prime is no exception to that, in fact, he's probably the poster child for it. Prime is worth far more to CU than Kirby is to Georgia.

Who was the dip**** throwing the 20MM number around?
 
So if the rumors of a $10m/year contract are accurate, I don't think it's a huge stretch to see incentives or other stipulations added to his contract that would/could add an extra $1-$2m. Here is a list of highest paid coaches from the 2024 season.

I'm not sure what other sweeteners there are in the compensation package, but I suspect that even the things we know about such as CU licensing and approvals for Coach Prime to have his own apparel company, media company and Amazon show are not the norm in coach contracts. If there are other things like he had at Jackson State (like getting a cut of ticket and other revenue), I would argue that a $10M base would easily make his the richest deal in the sport.

21 million to be exact.
My numbers are based on Highest Paid Coach, Incentives, Profit Sharing on targets related to Attendance, Viewership, Merchandise, Concessions, Radio Shows, TV Shows, Sponsorships that he could help acquire (Success Fees) etc...

Plus, the $21 Million is his number, so you could use the terms "Up to $21 Million"

F you all, I am a dreamer and believer
