Message: [QUOTE="DefenseBB, post: 2592143, member: 7492"] I did the salary research last week and as I said all the coaches I listed are actually right at the average for top coaches. Some are paid crazy amounts that just don't warrant what they have done-Nikki Fargas for example is paid $1mil+ at LSU and that's ridiculous vs. her poor results. Holly gets $650k. 5 of the Big 10 coaches get less than $450k so our AAC salaries commensurate what most AD's are willing to pay for non-revenue sports. As far as Jose goes, he does have a good size "program budget" especially given his attendance that is pretty a paltry at 2,690. I wonder why the school doesn't market better. They have 2 main contributing factors going for them-WCBB has an older demographic which suits South Florida better than white on rice and he has a significant "spanish" flavor to his roster so most of the populace would probably know is play calls to the the team....:rolleyes: Coach Abe at UCF has their attendance up to 3,302 this year IN YEAR 2!!! 2 years ago they had 672 per game, so she has something special going on there. She is the one most at risk to losing to a P5 school that cares about WCBB. Hopefully that AD has sold her on their commitment to build. I get there are a limited number of these roles and a superstar is well worth paying for with limited considerations. Even Geno is at or near his maximum as the revenue stream is capped. I am pretty psyched the attendance has climbed and is now blowing the Men's program out of the water- 7,787 this year. One last point the UConn attendance would place them 36th on the Men's list, with 10,558 just ahead of Xavier, who happens to be the #4 team in the country!!!:) [/QUOTE]
