Pitt boosters reportedly will pony up $9.4 million to jettison men's basketball coach Kevin Stallings, as originally reported by 93.7 The Fan sports radio host Colin Dunlap.

Here is a look at what that money could buy at the University of Pittsburgh:

Associate professor positions, at an average annual salary of $99,900 a year

518

Full tuition for a year at the Oakland campus, at a cost of $18,130 per student

16,404

Pitt basketball season tickets, at the lowest price general ticket package of $573

26,293

Pitt class rings, as offered by Balfour starting at $345 for women and $370 for men

170,909
