Well. Besides the fact that OSU has a much higher athletic budget, and that Tubby got about what Thad is getting right now. Thad's compensation breakdown:
2006-07 $1,889,400
2007-08 $1,964,400
2008-09 $2,064,800
2009-10 $2,159,800
2010-11 $2,340,500
2011-12 $2,345,500
2012-13 $2,445,500
2013-14 $2,540,500
2014-15 $2,630,500
Assuming he'd do well enough to keep getting extended, he make plenty more at UK. If UK were to set it's sight on just him for their coach, he could easily draw it up to 2.5 million+. That'd be what he would make in 2014 with OSU. Even Minny paid out 2.5 mil for Tubby Smith, it would be no shock to see UK go higher. Of course, he would have to consider all things, and that would include plenty less job security. Like I said, even if he is offered, I don't think he goes there.
