Loved the article today from Jim Allen on Baldwin's contract extension. Couple of things that caught my attention first being there was no buyout. My thinking is that it could be that Baldwin really doesn't have a desire to leave, but also it could have been one of those things negotiated to help him so that some schools would not be afraid to pick him up for a position even if it is a top coordinator job some where. Loved the off handed digs as well comparing contracts to WSU and how much a win cost them compared to EWU's. 
Secondly was the salaries of the head coaches. I was not shocked by how much they made, but but how much the BIG BAD GRIZZLIES were paying their head coach. He is 7th on the list....7TH! MSU's is a grand more...made me laugh. I guess you get what you pay for.
