How large of a raise did the BagMan give the players and recruits I wonder?

At some point many schools are just going to have to say enough is enough in the football arms race.

Co-offensive coordinators? Is that the next big thing in college football?

Why? Schools like Clemson understand they are minor league football teams. The market will bear these huge contracts. Do you know how much revenue Clemson football generated last year?

Because not many schools, to possibly include Penn State can keep up. They have donors of all ages just dumping money into that program.

Yeah. When you are on top you keep spending to widen the gap. It’s not your problem if your competitors can’t keep up.

About $30mm less than PSU did

Win big and the money will follow.

Their donor club (IPTAY) received $64.9M in donations in FY 2018 and that number is continuing to climb. I doubt NLC received that amount during FY18.

I'm curious does anyone know if donations to the program increased the year we won the B1G?

I know Jim Clements, Clemson President is very supportive, involved and active with the Clemson football program. He is a great President and well liked.

For whatever reason they do not include all or some of it in football revenue.

Do ya' know what PSU pays their Football Coaches?

PSU just HATES to disclose that information..... but its in the Blog I posted earlier.



Spoiler:
PSU's total expenses for their ASSISTANT football coaches was $7,433,037 last year.
(For those who stink at math, that's just about 3/4 of a million $ per full-time assistant.... although the local news reports stated that the HIGHEST paid AC was at right around $600,000.
I doubt those local stories were looking at the total cost..... but who knows with those "reports")

That figure - $7,433,037 - is MORE that the highest figure reported for any program in the latest USA Today "Salaries Poll"
[Caveat: The USA Today info is A) relatively crappy, and B) is as of 2017 - so its a full year dated, and with the way salaries are pumping up like Lyle Alzado, those numbers may be drastically different this year]

Gotta adjust that number downward by maybe 30%; it includes benefits like payroll taxes, pension, employer health insurance cost, etc not included in the USA Today number. Also included bonuses which are included.

PSU number is also reflective of the increase to 10 ACs and I believe the USA numbers lag that.

I'd pay to go to that meeting, the video of which you linked in your blog. I'll bet I'd outdraw a field hockey game......probably in police presence alone.

I've got the whole thing on video.

It was a clown show. You woulda' loved the part where Barron was blathering on about why he was justified in grabbing $800,000 from ICA to pay for more CAPS counselors - - - - - - while the Trustees sat there munching on snacks.
Or while Dambly - Mr. Businessman - was utterly befuddled at the way cost allocation works

Is the meeting open to the public?
