Message: [QUOTE="CBear01, post: 2086232, member: 6315"] Hmmm let's see. Ok since Auriemma won his second championship in 2000, the amount of applications to the university has quadrupled (all this is also public record). Add in Calhoun's multiple championships and Kevin's most recent we are up at over 30,000 more applications per year to the univerity than anytime previous. So roughly 30,000 X 100 bucks a pop × 10 (a round about number for the last 10 seasons of huge numbers of applications) and you get an unfathomable number. Im sure you can't really do the math that way and there are plenty of factors....but are they worth their salary? In my opinion they are underpaid for the amount of exposure they bring the university. And this is just applications folks...the amount of students accepted each year has been heavily on the rise, thousands more per class than before, and tuition keeps rising. And more housing is going up. And the out of state percentage is way higher today than pre-2000 (that's 40,000+ dollars a year tuition and board) 3+ million and 2+ million a year for those two and it's the best bucks this state has ever spent. Maybe people should start complaining about the lack of money going into our state transportation system (highways) that are of the most deplorable in the country. I live in LA and the traffic here is a breath of fresh air against the nastiness of the crawl down 95 or the Merritt. All in my good-natured opinion, of course =D [/QUOTE]
