Oil & Gas MLPs and Miller Contract

Post by Bosy Billups »

So, looks like this was approved.

Who is this booster?

AND, does this pretty much guarantee Miller & Co stay at Arizona until those rights ripen? Maybe not even so much with the monetary value, but the love and support from the boosters/admin?

Pretty sure it's Western Refining - Jeff Stevens. The Lowell-Stevens, football facility ring a bell?

"The Stevens met at the University of Arizona while both were students in the early 1980s. A native of Phoenix, Jeff Stevens is one of the originating partners in Western Refining Inc. of El Paso and current president, director and chief operating officer for the firm."

It will be a good stock to follow over the next few years.

He isn't likely to leave Arizona for a lateral move. The only job openings to worry about are the types of programs that would double his total pay. In that case, I don't think the oil money is even a consideration.

RANK SCHOOL HEAD COAC TOTAL PAY
1 Duke Mike Krzyzewski $9,682,032
2 Louisville Rick Pitino $5,758,338
3 Kentucky John Calipari $5,511,381
4 Kansas Bill Self $4,960,763
5 Florida Billy Donovan $3,905,964
6 Mich St. Tom Izzo $3,893,955
7 UCLA Steve Alford $3,473,973
8 Ohio St. Thad Matta $3,282,000
9 Memphis Josh Pastner $2,650,000
10 Arizona Sean Miller $2,627,806


There is the outer extremes of coaching salaries, then there is the second level ($1.5M-$2.5M) where most major conference coaches live. Coach Miller is at the very top of that second level.

If there is a next job, it will be for silly money.
