Gotta admit, I never realized Pollard could make that much here at ISU. He's doing a good job, glad he's here....but that's a lot of jack.

 

[geburgess]

Worth every penny.

 

[cyclonedave25]

He is worth every penny and we need to keep him here.

 

[Tre4ISU]

Let's make it an even million.

 

[IceCyIce]

Let's make it an even million.

Just talked to Pollard - He agrees

 

[kilgore_trout]

overpaid.

[isuno1fan]

overpaid.

Yes you probably are

 

[nj829]

wow. deserves it though, we may be in the Big East without him.

 

[mac4cy]

Some of the best money spent. Maybe except SEZ bowled in biggrin:

 

[nj829]

Then again, if you actually read the article you see it's due to a 1 time bonus of $400,000 and his base is only $500,000, less than TCU's AD.

 

[Go2Guy]

I'm happy for JP, but concerned about the inflated value in general of sports salaries, particularly at the collegiate level.

 

[chrismiller4isu]

Pollard deserves a lot of credit for the exciting things happening at isu athletically, perhaps about 900,000 of credit!

 

[Cycl1]

yeah, only because of a big 1 time bonus is he getting this much for his 8 years here.

 

[06_CY]

His base pay of 500k is a tad low. He deserves the 400k bonus.

Yeah, that. But he's doing the best job I've ever seen in my lifetime. Then again, I was in school during VandeVelde :shocked:

 

[carvers4math]

They seem quite disturbed that he makes more than the Hok AD, even though Ferentz makes more than JP, CFH, CPR, and maybe even Fennelly combined.

 

[Rogue52]

Geoffrey is the unsung hero there as well as the other Big 12 presidents. ADs took a back seat during the Big 12 Civil War.

 

[TXCyclones]

That's it. I'm emailing Pollard. He needs to hear about this!

 

[MohawkCy88]

That's it. I'm emailing Pollard. He needs to hear about this!

The bonus was likely moved up to avoid paying taxes in 2013. Good move. I would expect nothing less from JP.

Smart, motivated and edgy. Wasn't a fan when he pushed D Mac away but I'm a huge fan now. Best AD for ISU without question. I'll be sorry if/when he leaves.
