It is no surprise when a\u00a0college basketball<\/a>\u00a0coach leaves one program for big money with another. It is a little more eye-catching when it is a top women\u2019s college basketball coach who makes headlines for a big-money move. That is exactly what happened this week when three-time National Champion Kim Mulkey left\u00a0Baylor University<\/a>\u00a0for the head job at Louisiana State University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The move shocked the college basketball world. Mulkey, at age 58, is in the prime of her coaching career. She previously gave no indication that she was interested in leaving Baylor. Money talks though, and the fact that her new salary is higher than one of the legendary coaches in the game proved to be an offer she couldn\u2019t refuse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
