Crazy numbers.

Adds up to $9.7mm a year (that include's Stoutland's 395k).

 

[Liquid Karma]

Good grief.

 

[RJKarl]

so the position coaches make less than third string punters.

Crazy numbers.

SEC likes to win and usually does. Meanwhile the home games at most of the schools will gross at least $5 mill not counting food, beverage, parking & luxury suites. Plus they get over $20 mill per year from SEC contract.

We spent $8mm last year. That's for every coach in the athletic department. Men's and Women's.

This is why the SEC will not be knocked down from their perch atop the college football world anytime soon.

Considering the cost of living in Alabama is quite low, those assistants are living the high life.

Hell, the players average 85k.

Two of those coaches Clemson couldn't afford. Quite a gap between the top tier football powers and the rest.....

Those houses aren't nearly as big as I expected given the reported salaries.

And look where we are.

 

[Mbadvisor]

Mike Groh went to grade school with one of my daughters

We'll see what the next ones look like.

Smart is only 36, and Cochran is only 33.

I am experiencing the counter to the COL argument right now. Because of the tax structure, you're right in that their cost of living is low because property tax is basically non-existent, and housing prices are lower proportionately to other areas of the country, but the universal 9% sales tax and the rest of costs (food and otherwise is the exact same or higher). So for those of us lucky enough to rent (*cough*), COL was actually cheaper (relative to what most people make anyway) in Philadelphia.

And look where we are.

We aren't South Carolina. Thank god.

 

[BillBrasky]

That's two titles in three years money

 

[PhonsoINT]

At $54,000 per student we should do better than $8mm for our entire athletic department. Cut RW's salary, lord knows he hasn't earned his paycheck the past three years...

I think you've got things a little backwards here.

I think you've got things a little backwards here.

Too true. A lot of people here have that mindset, which is frustrating.

I'd posrep that if I could.
