Just FYI. Even though Wake is on a June 30 fiscal year, compensation is reported on a calendar year basis. So the compensation information in the 2009 Form 990 would be as of 12/31/08.

Anybody who believes Jim Grobe makes $3M a year is an absolute idiot.

The 2008 IRS "data" is an outlier.
His total compensation for that tax period was inflated due to deferred comp, performance incentives, etc.

Again... anyone who believes Jim Grobe makes $3M a year and is the highest paid coach in the conference is an idiot.

Okay then. That makes Dino's bonus make more sense, though I am still a little bewildered about a $150 bonus for something being built into his contract.
That also clarifies why Reinemund isn't on there. Will be interested to see the 2010 990. When should that come out?
LMAO that some think The Colonel is a sunshiner.
I heard from someone who should know that the published compensation for Coach Grobe was WAAAYYY overstated.
Why? I have no idea. But I trust my source.
Feel free to believe whatever you want.
Completely agree. I wish we would pay our basketball coach 3 million and our football coach 1 million.
While Grobe's recent run of success was nice, I think our athletic department and to some degree our fan base has lost touch with it's identity as a basketball school. And the sooner we get that back the better.
Wake will never have prolonged long term success as a football school. There are too many reasons to list why that will never happen. However there is more than a realistic shot that Wake could have long term sustained basketball success, given the right circumstances.
Wake should be focusing all of its time, thought, energy and money into the basketball program. The football program should be a distant, distant second at best. I would love to go back to the glory days of the early 90s through the mid 2000s where we had realistic chances to be competitive for the ACC basketball championship most years and have the occasional 6-6/7-5 football season every 4th year or so with a trip to Hawaii or San Francisco.
We've lost a little of our identity these past 5 years with pipe dreams in football and can't help but believe it's contributing (at least in some small way) to the disaster our basketball program has become.
Make basketball the clear top dog again. If we dangled 3 million (top 5 money) after Dino left there is no way we would be stuck with this current clown. College basketball starts with the coach. Recruiting follows.
Maybe it's just me but I hate this mentality. I think (for what little that's worth) that Wake should pour as much money into as many sports as we can for the returned revenue, the reputation and to support the student athletes. How many of you would have cut Field Hockey in favor of supporting the basketball team? They and Men's Soccer are about the only ones consistently worth a damn. I'd rather spend $3M on a football coach and expect 5-6 wins than $500,000 and hope for 1.
dino owes that 150 to Jay Vidovich. Every athletic department staffer gets a small bonus when one of the teams wins an NCAA or ACC title. men's soccer won in december and everyone got the same bonus in February. a way to say that everyone has a hand in each sport's success.
