re: Elko's salary will be bumped to $2.5 - $3MM is what insiders are saying

Let's also not pretend that Elko and his defense don't have an impact on that recruiting.

I'm all for making fun of how much money aggy is blowing on Jimbo, but Elko has earned it. It's hard to field an effective defense in today's football.
