[NU Sports] salary bargain

[Jonathan Hodges]

Note that Fitz's salary technically isn't made public (since NU is a private
school the media can't get ahold of the contract via the Freedom of
Information Act at the state level), but the $750k/yr number was a number
thrown around before he signed his extension this summer (I believe the
media had confirmed that number with some anonymous sources).

Fitz's new contract, though, was reported to be higher than that, so I think
he may be close to if not above the 7-figure threshold.  Again, it's a guess
and we will probably never know the exact number.
