McDermott (turned down) Ohio State

[MuseumFaux]

From USA today. Looks like he will come in at 3rd highest in the Big 10 and 8th overall (depending on bonuses). I didn't get the columns to copy over, but it is interesting to see how variable some contracts are. First number is salary from school, second is outside sources, third is that total. Fourth is the potential bonuses written into the contract.

Also, looks like McD would have had a huge pay increase based on that list. I wonder if he comes out of this process with a sweetened deal from Creighton.

Agreed. For Basketball it really is Power 6 conferences, with the Big East included.

The "THE" in Ohio State University is a little over-rated when it comes to basketball. It's just not that great a job and the lack of interest shows their money doesn't mean much in the hoops arena.
