Mike Riley’s salary at Oregon State... $50k.

We should really wait for all of the facts. All I'm saying is I don't think Mike is a complete idiot and he likely understands his contract and buyout. Both MR and OSU should know MR is in for a lawsuit if they were trying to milk NU for as much as possible in this fashion. I know alot of you don't really like the guy, but I really don't think he is that dumb he would try robbing the bank without a mask on. If he really is trying to 'game the system' like many are suggesting, that will be dealt with swiftly. 

 
Notre Dame is the 4th most profitable CFB school to my knowledge. Brian Kelly makes $1.62M....I get that Ohio St has way more money than Oregon St but $50k is laughable. Hell, you can make $30k at McDonald's. Either way I don't really care about Mike anymore. We got Frost 
Brian Kelly makes close to 7 million dollars a year bro

 
A lot of people bro. 
It affects you zero, you know what is hilarious about this?  The fact that people still whine about how Bo was so bad and a butthat, hated fans (false narrative), ect.  But Mike was such a great guy, until he steals money from the University.  You people are the most two timing bunch of fans in the world.

lol what the hell?

Lots of serial killers are considered great people until they're caught. An extreme example but your post is just weird. 

People can change their minds about things when they have more information. Or question an individual action, which is the case here.

You are clueless, it's our team and university. If Riley is at least 150k under paid over 4 years. I am pretty sure 600k would benefit some sport at Nebraska. 

I have no idea what your point about bo and Riley is.

Mike isn’t stealing anything from the university.  On its face, he isn’t honoring the contract.

 
I assume he isn’t clueless?  I’ll live with it
This whole thread you've been running with the idea Mike and OSU are trying game the system and get more money out of Nebraska than he should be getting. So it seems to me you are assuming he is clueless, because only a complete idiot would try and do that.

I am right there with you, many seem to be struggling with the contract. No matter how many times you word it they think we are just upset about the $$$. I just want to know the contract is being followed. Most people don't get 6 million severance for getting fired. So I see no reason to pay more out of NU pocket if not necessary 

 
There seriously needs to be, in college football and in the private sector as well, a conversation about changing radically how people at the top, who FAIL are rewarded financially.  It is a complete load of bulls*** how an incompetent person like Mike Riley can go 19-19, fail miserably at every conceivable level, and still walk away with 12 million dollars.  My solution is: lower the base pay to a max cap of $1,000,000.  Then, give huge bonuses, even higher than what is offered now, that reward championships and success.  If a coach fails and is fired, he gets NOTHING except whatever base pay he is entitled to up to the point of being fired.  That's how it works in the real world for almost everyone (minus the bonuses for doing great in most cases).  Why should certain people be so richly rewarded for failure?  Makes no sense and it needs to change.
