SEC per/school payout last year was $51 million. Clemson received about $45 million.
Dabo's current salary is right about $11 million. If he takes a $6 million pay cut to $5 million/year, that puts $6 million back in Clemson's pocket, fully erasing their gap with the SEC. Median household income in Pickens Co. is right about $57,000, so Dabo would be making 87x the median income. Besides, he's already made enough to never have to work another day in his life (and probably his kids and maybe grandkids if the money is invested wisely).
If you can't increase revenue, cut expenses. Same effect.
