[QUOTE="Techster, post: 845184, member: 360"] You are correct, Mich State donors have stepped up to make Mel Tucker's compensation one of the best in the country. However, Tucker was already well paid at $5.5 million/year. Outside of the stratospheric salaries of the upper quarter of the SEC coaches, B1G coaching salaries are not too far off. Keep in mind, Lovie Smith was getting paid $5+ million a year before he got fired from Illinois.
