Coach Fran

After the 2005 season, Brad stated he would like to see Coach Franchione follow the example of Bobby Knight, and give his salary back, since he did not earn it. It appears that he has quietly given at least half of it back. Hard to tell how much, as it falls in a bracket of $1,000,000 - $1,999,999. Even assuming he only donated a cool million, that's half his salary. That do anything for ya, T-ray?

I think just about every DI coach has "contributed" money to their respective employer - just like every pro athlete has some sort of "foundation" for tax purposes.

I'm not so sure that should count as "giving back" one's salary. Then again, that could be considered Aggy logic.

I am quite sure every D1 coach has contributed money to their respective school. So I agree with Blake on that. What I was impressed with was the amount. He contributed at least half of his salary. I would be curious to see a comparison of donations by the other Big12 coaches.
