What’s Your Price?
We’ve all got a number in mind, a figure that would convince us to do something outrageous or unthinkable. It might be a staggering sum, but everyone has a price tag attached to their values, morals, and principles.
For instance, I’d consider quitting my job for a cool $1 million, or living out of a car for a year if someone ponied up $2 million. And if someone wanted me to create a viral video making a bold claim, I’d do it for a whopping $5 million.
But what about high-profile figures? What would it take for them to make drastic changes or compromises? Let’s imagine some scenarios.
A renowned coach, known for their winning ways, might be tempted to switch teams for a hefty $10 million annual salary. Or, they might be swayed to risk their personal relationships for a chance at romance with a charismatic stranger. And if the right offer came along, they might even consider taking the reins at a rival institution for a staggering $25 million per year.
While it’s unlikely they’d actually make such a move, it’s intriguing to consider the possibilities. If I were an alumnus of that rival school, I’d certainly be tempted to make an offer they couldn’t refuse. After all, having a seasoned winner at the helm could be the key to turning around a struggling program.
The reality is, the current state of affairs is bleak, and drastic measures might be necessary to restore former glory. With the right leadership, the tide could turn quickly, and a once-dominant program could rise from the ashes. So, if I had the means, I’d definitely try to make it happen.
