That may be right but he’s probably… probably making more in Charlotte (at least incrementally) than he would at App. Due to the school getting $4-5 M per year from conference as opposed to the SunBelt media deal. Plus the AAC is attempting to require schools pay a higher Rev Share and get to $10M within 3 yrs.
He received close to a 6 figure pay increase.
Good for him but imo uncc overpaid for his production. Spend the money on qb and lines
Probably paid him based on his week 1 performance against them

Barnes wanted to come back. Unfortunately, he didn’t want to come back until 2 days ago instead of 2 months ago. His spot was filled.
I mean, the way he balled out in the Birmingham Bowl…sorry, the way he bailed out.
He bailed on two games before that as we fought for bowl eligibility. Selfish.

Should somebody tell them? Gauging talent based on how someone plays against Charlotte is not an effective method of measurement
