The Best Money Can Buy

The new football changes cost Florida State University and its boosters more than $1 million in increases.

Helped by the Seminoles' boosters, Fisher will make $415,000 and Trickett $300,000. Amato received $200,000 from FSU. Other FSU retained assistants received raises, while Carter and Dawsey will start at $130,000.

Let's not forget the $537,000 paid to Jeff Bowden for his horrible tenure as offensive coordinator. What a deal!

"It's amazing what money can do, isn't it?" Florida State coach Bobby Bowden has said. "We couldn't do it in the past. I think we're on the same page this time. Whatever it takes, let's go get 'em."
