SEC TREND: Southeastern Conference football fans can celebrate seeing
one of their former stars winning the Super Bowl MVP award for the third
straight year.
Georgia's Hinds Ward won it as a Pittsburgh receiver in the Steelers' win
two years ago.
Last year, Tennessee's Peyton Manning won it after Quarterbacking the
Colts to a championship. This year it was Eli Manning who played for Ole
Miss.
COLUMBIA S.C: Steve Spurrier has another reason to stick around South
Carolina. The University's Board of Trustees approved a tax-deferred
retirement package Friday for Spurrier's contract that would pay the
football coach one million dollars if he remained with the Gamecocks
the next four years.
The money would accrue in installments of $250,000 the next four years
and would be given to Spurrier if he's still at school by December 31, 2011.
He would forfeit the package if he left the school before then. He currently
makes about $1.8 million a year. |
