Les Miles cashes in.

It’s a Monday morning, Georgia has just won the SEC basketball tournament, and the college football world never ceases to entertain us. Let us count the ways:
1. Who says there is no sense of humor in college football? Les Miles’ new contract says he must be no worse than the third highest-paid coach in college football. LSU officials decided to resolve the issue by making him the highest paid coach in the SEC by paying him exactly $1,000 more than Nick Saban’s $3.75 million at Alabama. So unless something changes, Miles will always make more than Saban as long as he’s at LSU. Given the obvious tension between those two men, that move was a clear poke in the ribs to Saban and had to make for a fun weekend in the football offices in Tuscaloosa.
