I mean, eye-popping, the numbers, and I think it's really underappreciated for how much salaries have surged in college football.

I think we've become numb to –

just the dollars and cents of it all.

But it's not that long ago, Ryan Day in 2018 became Ohio State's first million dollar assistant along with Greg Sciano.

And now nearly everybody on staff is a million dollar assistant.

Seven out of the 12 position coaches and coordinators are gonna make at least a million dollars.

When Day put together his first staff in 19, he only had one assistant making over a million dollars.

And that salary pool was just over 7 million.

It's now over 15 million, so obviously not adjusting for inflation.

Not to segue into that lesson, but it's more than doubled from what it was on the inaugural staff.

And it's not exactly apples to apples because it's a larger staff now because they're no longer the limit.

So we're counting 12 primary assistants.

It used to be capped at 10.

So that's a factor.

But just...

It feels like there's an unlimited supply of money.

And we've kind of come to it.

But, man, it's doubled in less than a decade.

Right, because when they lost Brian Harline, he was the wide receivers coach and offensive coordinator.

You could have hired one person.
