Is Buzz suspended without pay? If so, what happens to that money? Is it donated to charity or does it go back to the University?
Buzz makes $2 million a year (rounded). Assuming he gets paid yearly 1/365 is roughly $5,550. Is he gets paid on business days only (262 in year), a one day suspension is roughly $7,600. If he gets paid by the game, then it could be around $60,000 to $80,000. I assume his pay format is in his contract.

Who gives a crap?
Buzz gives a crap
I assume FP and LW have schemed to take the most pay as possible from Buzz to piss him off :D

Maybe, maybe not. Right now the only one we know for sure is you. Doesn't that strike you as odd?
I'm willing to bet I'm not the only interested in about $7,000. Others are too.
You must be a "Bankster" that spends this much on their bar bill and car washes everyday to be that disinterested in this much money.
Is the suspension "on day" or "one game"? the latter **really** only represents about two hours. So the pro-ration would, in order to be equitable (in my humble opinion) be just for those two hours. ::)

What about prep time?

I think it's not applicable. If the suspension is "for one game", prep time doesn't count. The suspension doesn't mention "prep time". ;)

Good point. Also, if I was Buzz, I'd argue that "one game" is actually just 40 minutes.

That assumes that he was not suspended for time outs, commercial breaks and / or halftime. Boy, there sure are a lot of unanswered questions about this sordid affair! Shocking that they have not all been answered yet.

I'm not a "bankster", but the one aspect about this whole sorry mess about which I care not at all is the effect it will have on Buzz's tax return. I'd be interested in $7000 if it were coming to/from me. I'll let Buzz worry about himself, though I'm sure he's grateful for your concern.
The $7k goes to the Notre Dame endowment fund.

Or a Halloween party at Humphrey.
I'm pretty sure Buzz's salary is on a yearly basis, not game-by-game. And even if he isn't coaching for those 2 hours, he'll probably still be attending to MU matters that day.

First of all they did not mention he was suspended without pay, so I think we should just assume he is being paid. However, the tax return question is an interesting one. There have been several large fines handed out to NBA players. I believe they go to charity. The question is whether the player gets a charitable deduction, which really matters if the league fines you $75,000. A donation to charity is tax deductible. A fine is not tax deductible. I always wondered how the IRS would treat a fine paid by an NBA player to the league's charity? Is it a donation or a fine?
