| Beyond the Arc: Is Matta worth the money?
And how can anyone be worth more than that? After all, Matta isn't even the game's highest paid coach. (Or in the Big Ten. Michigan State's Tom Izzo makes more, and Matta's package was prompted by Tubby Smith's superior compensation package from Minnesota. Tubby, in should be noted, made nearly as much as Matta — in 2003 at Kentucky.) Since the Ohio State Board of Trustees must think Matta's worth it, it doesn't really matter if I think it's too much money to pay a coach. I can still wonder, though. Ohio State has the money to spend on top-flight coaches (in 2006, it was the only school with an athletic budget over $100 million), but that doesn't mean you'd have to pay that much up-front money to a coach. Why not spread it out? USA Today does a great package on coaches' salaries every year.
Power pole knocked down after crash
A crash at Old St. Augustine Road and Pine View Drive knocked out a power pole, but no one was seriously injured. The intersection was blocked off for several hours after the 3 a.m. crash so the power pole could be repaired, but it is now open, said Lt. Ken Bergstrom, of the Tallahassee Police Department. .
Report: Miami bank-owned properties up
Lenders have taken ownership of 217 percent more properties from borrowers in the greater Miami area in the first 45 days of 2008 than they did in the same period in 2007, a report from Condo Vultures said. In January 2008, lenders took back 641 greater Miami properties, up 252 percent from January 2007, when 182 properties were taken back. In the first 15 days of February, lenders have taken back 217, up 138 percent from the 91 properties taken in February 2007, according to data gathered by the Bal Harbour-based real estate consultancy. Lenders ended up with these properties -- called real estate owned (REO) -- after foreclosing on borrowers and not being able to sell the properties at the minimum price set at the court-ordered auction. "Lenders that are now in possession of these properties are scrambling to figure out what to do with this real estate," said Peter Zalewski, a principal with Condo Vultures, in a news release.
