Thank you, Dan Jones.
How about some good news to kick your weekend off?
Ross Bjork, the fan-favorite director of Ole Miss Rebel athletics, received an extension through 2019 today, per the Ole Miss Sports official site. The extension comes with a raise to a base salary of $650,000 a year, with the possibility of an additional $100,000 in incentives for excellent student-athlete performance both in the classroom and on the field of play.
This, unsurprisingly, makes Bjork pretty happy:
When I was hired in 2012, Sonya and I quickly realized what the Ole Miss family already knew: Ole Miss and Oxford make up a very special place, the perfect blend of academics, social life and athletics.
