We are putting up enough chips to play at the big table. Looking at this list has us in the same conversation with the biggest, and best BB programs in the USA.

I guess this means that in this next 3-5 year term its also reasonable to expect on court performance, and results, commensurate with this group.

The problem with all of these lists is that many are full of crap.  

Jim Boeheim at $1.155M per year.  Please.

Roy Williams at $1.65M per year.  Please

Etc, etc

There is so much not known about what the true compensation is, that these lists are comically understated.

Part of the equation on what u pay a coach is how much money does the program bring in. I also think that there are more coaches close to 2 mil a year then advertised when the whole package they have is looked at.

I would expect some success, but the reality is the only way MU can keep a good coach is to pay him top dollar. There are a lot of programs that it is easier to attracked top recruits to than MU. That is why Crean left for Indiana.

I can't quite figure out the wording on the banner that'll be unfurled.  "MU 2011-12: Buzz's salary > Crean's Salary"

The number is in line with what MU had to pay to keep continunity and keep recruits. It's just like the gas  pump, prices are going up! If you want Gas you pay.

better yet, have a times square like ticker tape running showing the top 20 coaches pay .  then as pay day comes, plus as they pick up say a shoe contract or b-ball camp, the numbers change in real time as the year progresses. coaches will be leap-frogging each other as the numbers change, wins add up, does a commercial for a company, etc... that would turn this whole coaching contract thingy into a sport of it's own.  then at the end of each year, let the bidding start ;D

Did you read anything the guy wrote besides the numbers?  The writer clearly states "North Carolina's Roy Williams is near the top, listed at $1.65 million, but his non-university compensation is not known."  I don't know what you were reading but the writer never claimed that those numbers were the final compensation for coaches.
