I'm of 2 minds about the following: 1. incentives are good, as they acknowledge a reality of performance expectations; 2. very large incentives for college coaches, such as that for Stringer, create a lot of temptation to do the wrong kind of recruiting and the wrong kind of coaching.

[I]Stringer's salary was reduced from seven figures to $700,000 during her last round of contract negotiations. The big draw was a potential [URL='http://www.nj.com/rutgerswomen/index.ssf/2016/05/rutgers_working_on_4-year_contract_extension_with.html']$500,000 bonus for reaching the Sweet 16[/URL] -- something that Rutgers has failed to do since 2009.[/I]

Even so, I can't believe that Rutgers can honestly pay her that much base when the school is in such economic difficulty, when faculty salaries are so much lower, and--far the most important thing--when so many kids have to take jobs and big loans just to get through college. I know Geno ends up with a lot more, but he's [I]hors categorie[/I]--the very best of the best.
