would take it in a heartbeat. You might even do it for just a 20-30% raise.

No idea what Hall was getting paid at BYU, but I doubt it was anything more than 150k. So if the rumors are true, and Hall is seeking $300k a year (because he likely has those offers in hand from other schools) that completely makes sense. Especially when younger, the goal is to earn as much as you can to fund the specific future lifestyle that you want for yourself and family. Have a chance to earn more now so you can reach that lifestyle earlier? Everyone is taking that opportunity...
