Purdue's Matt Painter signs a nice new deal..
Extended through 2017 at a base of $1 million per year plus additional clauses that virtually guarantee at least another million and maybe as much as an additional $1.3 mil.
Plus...get this...it is RETROACTIVE to July of 2009!!!!! so it bumps his salary for this past year, too...

And - at the same time - the University is in serious financial trouble, so they are announcing a total of $45 million+
in cuts to the salaries of all the other university employees - I kid you not!!!
