Is Richt worth $2.8 million a year?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The UGA Athletics Association on Thursday approved a $600,000 raise for football coach Mark Richt, making him No. 5 in compensation for SEC coaches.
The Bulldogs finished No. 2 in some national polls after winning the Sugar Bowl and are rated a contender for top honors next season.
Is this money well-spent for UGA? For a coach who has never won a national championship? Or is it inline with salaries for coaches who have enjoyed his level of success?
