Florida pays basketball coach Billy Donovan $3.5 million a year and football coach Urban Meyer $3.25 million. But that isn’t the shocking part.
Noted David Whitley of the Orlando Sentinel: “Donovan and Meyer still combine to make $750,000 a year less than Dodgers center fielder Juan Pierre, who hasn’t won a national title and is hitting (.271).”
Sideline Chatter also notes that Gilbert Arenas, who will make $12.8 million in the 2008-2009 season, may have to renegotiate. “Arenas said Saturday that the knee injury he suffered in April and the recent birth of his second child has led him to view his financial future in a different light.”
