They tried to make a statement, a big splash, and a return to prominence. Its looking to be a swing and a miss at the moment, but those people have a lot of money.

Really? Considering that after the death penalty situation they had been really bad, like pre-PJ Navy bad, and now they've played in the conference championship game, not too shabby. He also got them to their first bowl since pre-death penalty last year, where they curb stomped Nevada.

Grobe's salary is actually like $2.3 fwiw. Since Wake is a private school and doesn't release that kind of info they are going off tax documents from the year they won the ACC. That includes all his bonuses.

Yeah, if you compare what June has done with the last 20 years of SMU football, you'll quickly recognize that he has performed near miracles.

I didn't mean it as an attack on June Jones. I respect him and his coaching abilities a lot. I'm just not sure any coach is worth that much money in C-USA. He is definitely turning the thing around and SMU probably hopes to benefit from probably conference realignment.

I know... But the college coach salary discussing is boring, since most of them have always been publicly available. When someone mentioned paying the athletes, I saw that as the tiny little opening I needed to go off thread topic...

Yes - I am too lazy to start a new thread...
 
This is the thing about paying players. People say that there is all this X millions of dollars in college sports, but as you distribute it to non-rev sports and to lower-tier schools, it doesn't become that much money.

In light of the Cam Newton situation, there doesn't seem to be any good solution past just making a straight-up U21 football league. Other than that, the status quo of competing for players with facilities will remain.

Obviously no one saw the most staggering salary in that bunch. Jim Grobe makes $2.9 million. WTF is that about!!!

Revealed?

Most of them are government employees...

The majority of their salary is composed of money from the athletic department. For instance, if you search Mark Richt on open.georgia.gov, you'll see that he "only" makes ~$200-300k from the government.

That comes to about $700 per undergrad student per year, or about $58 per game per undergrad student. That might be the highest per student amount in the country, but not really shocking. Most students spend that much on fast food per year.

What's your point?

My point is that college football is big part of the college experience and parents spend lots of money to enable their kids to be part of it. If a private school wants to pay a coach that much and considers it a good value to attract the students it desires, that's not shocking. Until people sit down on a board of directors and consider all the costs of running a university, they should not be judgmental about who gets paid what. Usually, people get paid what the employer thinks they need to spend to achieve their goals. Sometimes, they make dumb mistakes (Braine/CPH), but that's part of the business world.

No no, I agree on that part...I wasn't shocked at all. In fact I thought these salaries were pretty common knowledge.

I was asking what the point of bringing a kid's fast food budget into the equation was?
