"Hey Eliah Drinkwitz, Chris Ash is making 3 times more than you and has one win on the year. Do you have any comment?"

 

[tman24]

JFC Purdue, that's insane.

Had to pay him to keep him from going to Louisville

 

[mj4cy]

Used to think these salaries were ridiculous but a lot of these schools print money and have to maintain "non profit" status.

 

[Doc]

Marshall’s coach is named Doc Holliday? Nice.

 

[JP4CY]

Had to pay him to keep him from going to Louisville

Oh I know but damn, he is totally making out there.

 

[2forISU]

Charlie Strong at $5MM, jesus. I have to give JP credit, he looks like a genius when you look at the pay of some of these individuals. MC should be in the top-25 of paid coaches based on his performance at ISU.

Oh I know but damn, he is totally making out there.

And not worth it

 

[WIB]

If we can build a city in the parking lot, we can find campbell another mil a year.

 

[CYphyllis]

Campbell is grossly underpaid. I’d like to see him at 4.5

I fully agree, but if I remember right these last couple offseasons where he's signed extensions he's been pushing the money for an increased salary into the assistant pool.

As much as I'd like to see Campbell get bumped up a bit, I think I'd equally like to see a guy like Heacock jump up to seven figures.

 

[Scott34]

My goodness, Florida State is getting screwed but I love it

 

[Cyclones_R_GR8]

If we can build a city in the parking lot, we can find campbell another mil a year.

Isn't that projected to be paid by a developer and not ISU?

 

[heitclone]

I need Charlie Strong's agent negotiating my contracts. $5 mil is insane for an AAC team, especially for a guy who owes any rep he has as a HC to Teddy Bridgewater.

 

[weR138]

Campbell is grossly underpaid. I’d like to see him at 4.5

I agree he's underpaid. But I don't think he's grossly underpaid. I think $4MM would put him at a level that's fair. And do we know how his contract is incentivized?

I didn't know it was already built.

That’s largely due to UT buyout money. Strong signed a 5 year 10 million contract with USF.

you do both.

 

[jsb]

I agree he's underpaid. But I don't think he's grossly underpaid. I think $4MM would put him at a level that's fair. And do we know how his contract is incentivized?

The incentives are out there. I don’t think there’s a whole lot of incentives.

 

[Dandy]

Jimbo's buyout is comedy gold...

Texas A&M has one of the highest revenue producing athletic departments in the country. They are probably 0% scared of buying Jimbo out if it comes down to it.

 

[RonBurgundy]

Marshall’s coach is named Doc Holliday? Nice.

 

[Halincandenza]

How is Brian Kelly only making 1.6 million???

He isn't. My guess is they don't have access to all the financial info on his contract because it wasn't made public.
