Some fans and reporters noted the timing of the deal was intriguing. Had Slater signed it before the divorce was finalized, he could have possibly owed his ex-wife some of his earnings. It certainly got people buzzing, and Brown even shot back at NFL reporter and aggregator Dov Kleiman, saying, “His contract is not about me” and calling it “deplorable” that Kleiman highlighted the deal’s “good timing.” The more likely scenario is that Slater’s deal got finalized during the same time period the Chargers typically extend their players, in July and August....

Every team who plays in the NCAA tournament earns a “unit” for its conference. And each game played counts as a unit, except for the championship game.

The units are paid out over the next six years following a tournament. Money earned from games played this year will start going to conferences in 2016, and will be paid out through 2021, with the money increasing each year....

Tom earns $7 million per year from endorsements, that breaks down to $135,000 per week....
