Coaching bonuses detailed

So, Kirk gets half a million for 8 wins and Bluder gets 25k for national coach of the year?

And it's likely never going to be. Supply matches demand. Sucks, but it's an ugly truth.

No, it's still not proportional when considering the revenue involved between the two programs and the level of success achieved. I get it though; you guys like Barta a lot. :eek:

Brands is probably the most accomplished coach at the school and still makes nowhere near what Kirk or Fran makes. It has nothing to do with success. Those two sports are the cash cows. That's why.

EDIT: Brands also makes substantially less than Bluder herself. It's not a Barta thing, it's a revenue by sport thing.

Are you saying football doesn't make money? Tell me that's not really your argument here. You should have done 2 minutes of research on that subject before embarrassing yourself with that post.

It's actually by design for athletic departments to spend more than they take in.

Not a good look for the NCAA when members of an "amateur" league are raking in piles of cash.

So you're telling me that womans basketball isn't actually more profitable than football!? Shocking.

Of course, football generates money; it also spends money. Apparently, it spent $2.8 million more than it made in 2017. I'd think the U could have given Bluder a tad more than 25k for being the best coach in the country this year, considering it gives Kirk half a million for being a tad over average. ;)

I'm not sure where TK is going with this. It's not like Bluter is a lesbian so why would Barta not be fair to her?

And of course they find ways to get rid of income just like any business with a decent tax guy does. Do those numbers take into account the TV contracts?

Brother it is a free country. She could move on elsewhere if the deal she has is not good enough. She should get Kirk's agent.
 
TK would also be upset if a lead actress in a high school play didn't make as much money as George Clooney does for a guess appearance.
