Croom's 1.7 million salary is coming from the probation money and will be close to 1.2 or 1.3/year for the other 3 years.

just had to wait on some official legal type stuff to go through. Our budget projection is going to be up 4 to 5 mil this year compared to last. What I'm interested in finding out is what's the deal with this new media rights stuff? I keep hearing alot of new found cash is coming from that. Also a departure from Telesouth as far as our radio coverage is concerned?

The probation money is money that's due to the athletics department, so I doubt that's budgeted towards the majority of Croom's salary. He's getting $250,000 from the state.

The question is how much of the assistants' salaries are picked up by the Bulldog Foundation. If not much, then I can see the probation money going to the assistants.

I'll bet there's a reduced buyout clause if we decide to fire him though.</p>

The only reason that we increased Croom's salary by that much was because of the market in the SEC for football coaches. Everyone else has had to increase their coaches salaries because of Saban.

If Saban had not gone to Alabama, we would still have given Croom a raise, but it probably would have been to about 1.2 million or so.</p>

his salary will go up or he will be fired. I hope we can string together a few winning seasons and his salary goes up.

if he's fired, he'll be entitled to receive his annual salary for each year left on the contract.

when has that happened though? admittedly, i haven't paid much attention, but i'd be surprised if it was common for a coach to agree to take less than he's legally due under a contract.

We did it to Rod Barnes before his last year, but not because he was winning.

We have to stay out of trouble until October 2009 to even get that money.

.....continues to win his salary will only go UP.
