Nice Work If You Can Get It

Ever want to see what the contract of a big-time college basketball coach looks like? Here, courtesy of Sports Law Blog, is your chance. Thanks to the State of Indiana's public records law, the contract of new Indiana University hoops coach Kelvin Sampson is available for your perusal.

For some reason I am particularly struck by two things: First, despite giving Sampson a seven-figure compensation package, the University also has to provide him with the use of two -- two -- automobiles. Second, although the contract is stuffed with the usual legal mumbo-jumbo, the term "Sweet Sixteen" apparently has such a clear meaning that it is used (on page 15) without any further explanation or elaboration.
