She turned-down more money from her alma mater, in order to stay with us.
Of course, one of the first things Ray did was correct the pay problem and get her the major raise when he took over.
If she wins a National Championship we are capable of making her the highest paid women's coach in America.
The more success she has here, the deeper her roots will grow and the tougher it will be for someone to come in and rip her away.
She's a special woman. She's seemingly always made very sound decisions - uncanningly so. She's here for a reason. She sees what we see. She's spooning with the sleeping giant right now, like the rest of us, and she knows it. She knows she can do it all right here and never have to go anywhere else ever again.

UVA may offer more money but they are not top tier ACC and sports just do not drive the needle hard enough to may that happen. The bigger question is if another ACC can and will make a run.
Louisville certainly has the resources and facilities which means in the future they can generate the revenue. Folks might not be surprised to see Tennessee or Connecticut as best attendance schools but the Cards have quietly moved up to challenge them. The uptick is they already have a coach who is winning so no threat now. Duke, UNC, and Notre Dame should have the resources in the ACC.
Baylor in the B12 and Stanford in the PAC have coaches who will probably retire there. After that, who has the attendance to make a run? B1G has maybe Purdue and possibly Michigan State.
The big issue is the SEC. Holly is doing well but still on the hot seat. Kentucky put close to 24,000 in Rupp for a game this year and Memorial has witnessed a few sold out games. Both of these could make a run and have the cash to do it. Gary Blair is getting older and maybe a few other SEC schools may step up their game. If she does get raided my guess is it will be another SEC school or an ACC one.
Schools that can draw around 10,000 a game. Last year Cocks were #26 and pulling just under 4K per game. To be a destination job 8K is a safer spot. The question is if the Cocks can average 8K per game?
