Whoa, now. While not down-grading UMass any, that's a big jump.

From the AP, via FoxSports:

"New Oklahoma State basketball coach Travis Ford will receive $1.3 million
a year for seven years in a deal approved Friday in a unanimous vote by
the Oklahoma A&M Board of Regents . . . .

University spokesman Gary Shutt said details of Ford's contract are being
worked out and that it likely won't be signed until sometime next week.
Shutt said Ford's annual base salary will be $250,000, with the remaining
$1.05 million per year considered payment for personal services.

Even though it hasn't been signed, Ford's contract took effect Friday,
Shutt said. It runs through June 30, 2015.
