I assume "why would he leave, he's making $1.6 million" is a rhetorical question, but I'll answer it anyway because I'm a great guy:Why would he leave?
Nebraska football announces a restructured contract for DC Tony White. He'll make $1.6 million next season after arriving at $1 million in his first year in Lincoln and helping transform the Blackshirts into a top-20 scoring defense. #Huskers keeping their coordinator for 2024.

UCLA head coach 2023 salary: $4.8 million.
Tennessee is a better job than OU right now. Heupel was only there one year. I really doubt he has that strong of an attachment to Oklahoma to be willing to give up what he has going in Knoxville.
I also don’t think Venables looks like he’s succeeding all that well in the SEC.
I see Florida going hard after Kiffin.
Do you believe this?OU doesn’t have the cash to compete for an SEC title. Their ceiling is about 5th place.
Do you believe this?
Your love of the SEC rivals only ESPN's.
And yet that hasn't happened.I’m ambivalent about conferences - it’s about teams. 5 years ago OU would be fine in the SEC. But they can’t fund a pro team. The future of college football is 7-8 pro teams, and OU isn’t one of them.
And yet that hasn't happened.
So big media money is, according to you, pushing the Big 10 into the stratosphere, yet $ millions of private donor money isn’t having any effect whatsoever on Ole Miss, SMU, Texas, and aTm.
Until there is some parity mandated, there is 8-10 teams in this club of pro ball.
The pro teams are:
tOSU
Texas
aTm (a year early)
SMU (a year or two early)
Ole Miss
Alabama
Georgia
Oregon
Barring a (Phil) Knight for someone else, this be the club. Has nothing to do with conferences or media money. That’s sofa change to the pro teams.

Disagree with the premise, but LSU has way more money than Ole Miss. So does Tennessee. That's true for both revenue and NIL money.

A single SMU donor wrote 7 years of ACC media money with one personal check.
We can do a circle jerk about how cool our conference of choice is, but it’s really just about the pro teams.

A team might drift in/out over time but let's not pretend parity has existed throughout cfb.
