This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

good stuff, couple questions. by MrE
What is the application fee for a college these days? How many applications does Alabama take in year? Not that important, just curious what that stream is.
Are there any college or pro coaches that have heavy incentive-based contracts that you know of? Let's say the coach at LSU or the Arizona Cardinals has a $1.5 million base, but a handful of performance incentives that could reasonably get him to $4-$5M and then say a $20M incentive if they win the national title or Super Bowl. Seems like the variable comp component of college coaches is very limited (less than $500K) based on publicly available info.
