I saw multiple coaches without masks on during today's games. Does it really hurt the coaches to fine them? Seems a lot of SEC schools will be fined for failing to follow prescribed protocols during the weeks practices. You know all of them would never report falsely to protect a star player.
I don't know if Jeff was serious about the 100K or not, but if so, then "Yes Virginia, it will hurt them".
What does Pruitt make, $2-3 million a year? So if he gets fined even once, that's about 4% of his PRETAX income (assuming his salary is 2.5M). If you are capable of basic math (I have my doubts!), would you want to give up that much of your salary just to not wear a mask?
Let's make it really easy with some nice round numbers. A person making 100K a year, if they were fined 4% of their pretax income, would lose $4000.
I can guarantee you that Pruitt only takes home about 60% of that salary after taxes, so that's actually a take home pay of $1.5 M a year (assuming I got his salary right, I am too lazy to look it up, this is just an example). Thus 100K fine from a $1.5M salary is a HUGE impact. That's like losing almost 4 paychecks a year! Can you imagine him explaining that to Mrs. Pruitt? "But honey, I didn't feel like wearing the mask!"
How can you even ask if 100K fine would hurt a coach? That's not chump change even to them. Good godawmighty!
