Why does Mississippi have asterisks by its football coach?
Because the state of Mississippi has a law that no state employee can make more than the governor. Technically the state pays Merlins $250,000 and the rest of his $2.5 MM salary comes from a private foundation, originally named the Bulldog Foundation.
Same law says that state employees can't have a contract longer than a governor's term - so that's why Mullen and Freeze have four year contracts that get extended every year.
