Crazy how TV money has affected everything
I think Johnny's total income was around $110,000 to $120,000. The $45 was the base and then you add tv, radio, camps etc.
Even on high end, Cyched calculator only takes Johnny's salary to just under $400,000 in today's money.
I agree with you. Hopefully, there is a serious bump a year from now because of positive play this year.
JP can only work with the hand he is dealt and does a hell of job. ISU just doesn't have enough big time donors.
I’m ok with it. Put up or shut up. Jamie will pay him if he wins, history has shown that he will.
He's done that with MC, SP and Fred. JP does a hell of job for our small athletic budget.
Im okay with it to especially considering the circumstances. And it’s not like we were attracting any big names for the job anyway. But the “cheap” strategy is a gamble (especially if we ever have to replace Campbell). But I trust in Pollard. But paying your coach 25% less than anyone else in the conference doesn’t exactly inspire confidence in our commitment to basketball.
43 year old with a sketchy resume making 7 figures? Great contract for both parties. Just hope Pollard doesn’t make the same mistake he did with Prohm with a premature extension.
With the 2 buyouts Prohm's and TJ's. I think it is a fair contract. Heavy on incentives and I'm good with that. Also your final sentence is 100% accurate.
His contract is a combination of him betting on himself, his buyout, Prohms buyout, Iowa State football, covid, and him wanting to be here. He also likely took a little less for himself to pay his staff a little more. I think he’s confident in his ability to win here, knows JP will pay more when the wins start coming, and the media contracts will be renewed in the next few years likely adding to the budget.
If Otz agreed to it, why are people B’ing that we are going cheap. Apparently TJ was satisfied with it or he would be at a different school. Do you also complain that your ribeye only cost 30 bucks at a restaurant and and tell them to charge you 50 for it?
I can sum it up for you. OPM (other peoples money)
Otz was making 7 figures at UNLV. UNLV did not want to lose Otz. Quit being a jerk.
The thing is that people (not fans) were still complaining about him being paid to much.
I just thought it was funny that I knew that was cheap and then saw people complaining it was to much. Then you complaint it was embarrassingly low made it even better.
