That is a huge contract, and a huge statement if the story is accurate. I will not be surprised if that number includes every bonus available to Grassie, and of course it is unlikely that he can win the National Championship every year so the actual number will probably be much less. Still, it is an impressive commitment.

With a 1000 seat stadium, or any size that Marshall can expand to, the sport will not support itself, so from where does this money come? Marshall Athletics has lost money in seven of the last eight years, and more than $1 million per year the last few years (College Athletics Financial Information Database). Will AD Hamrick dig the hole deeper to hang onto Grassie, or will other sports take a hit as he prioritizes men's soccer? Either way, I congratulate Marshall for doing what it must to hang onto Grassie.

I would imagine there are bonus options?
