Is Barry Alvarez Really Getting 1/12 of Bielema's Salary to Coach Bowl?

[WindyCityHawkI]

If so, that is ridiculous and is over $200,000 for him to stand on the sidelines and call zero plays? Must be nice to be the AD and be able to come up with such an idea. Board of regents better not approve that

 

[latrans]

That is a freaking joke.

 

[TexMcGruder]

Forest Evashevski is sitting upon high and jealous.

and if Barry is not careful. what happened to Iowa after what Evy did, he might just see the same results at Wisconsin

 

[DwayneTwill]

Why shouldn't he?

Barry needed more cream puffs and chedder cheese, I say let them waste their money

 

[Stanzi]

If that's true it's pretty ridiculous. If he hadn't given himself the job for the bowl game I would be OK with him getting a check, but since he made the decision himself he shouldn't get pay on top of that. It's pretty weak and lame for him to take an extra 200K for basically doing nothing at his own discretion.

Maybe it's just a middle finger salute to BB.

 

[Foval21]

Well he can't give it to the assistant coaches because then they will want raises because of the pay increase this yr. And then they might leave like the last group did.

 

[redhawk55]

just more reasons to hope they get their butts handed to them. come the RB

I guess if I gave a **** about Barry Alvarez and/or Wisconsin football I'd have a much better post.

He's doing something outside of his job description, usually that requires payment. People don't usually work for free...

 

[DuffMan]

Why is this an issue. Hes doing the work.
