Texas A&M fired football coach Jimbo Fisher Sunday, sending him off with what is likely to be the biggest buyout in college sports history.

How many academic scholarships would $76M pay for?  How many profs' salaries?

Hi John,

The finest college instructor that I ever had, gave up the profession to go into real estate so he could afford to feed his family.

IMO our value system in this country needs to change.  I mean, who really needs to read the National Enquirer?

"The Prosper Independent School District in Texas seeks to spend $94 million to build a new high school football stadium, a record amount for the state.

If Prosper ISD’s proposal gets approved, it would be the most expensive school stadium ever built in Texas by $14 million, according to The Dallas Morning News. The Texas school district is seeking $102.4 million in total bond funding for the football project, with $94 million going towards the new stadium and the remaining funds used for renovations to the district’s athletic facilities."

Sorry John and Jerry, in America engineering is going down the toilet. The new industry is sports.and entertainment.

Sorry for that. I was wondering what it would be like to be Brent.

They can't afford school lunches but a $94 Million Dollar Football Stadium is no problem. Talk about Hunger Games.

Probably around 400 four-year scholarships and maybe 150-200 prof salaries for 4 years..

Maybe this guy isn't as expensive.  I hear he might be looking for a job:
