MIZZOU LOWERS THE FINANCIAL BOOM ON PINKEL
University of Missouri Athletic Director Mike Alden issued a statement this afternoon detailing the punishment for head football coach Gary Pinkel who was arrested for a DWI last night. Pinkel will be suspended until Thanksgiving Day & is to have no contact with his team during this suspension. Defensive coordinator Dave Steckel will assume the head coaching responsibilities until Pinkel returns. The financial penalties are as follows:
Forfeit 2 weeks base pay $ 13K
Forfeit social & academic incentives 100K
Forfeit 2 weeks guaranteed incentives 68K
Forfeit bowl bonus for 2011 75K
Forfeit salary increase for 2012 _50K
Total $ 306,000
Regardless of what Pinkel makes, this is a severe financial penalty. I think it is his one & only chance to avoid repeating the offense or he will be referred to as "former Mizzou coach."
