Still nothing on a new AD?

I gotta hand it to you..you come out with some obscure names...some good..some are of the W T F quality.

FDNY99, what would you categorize this as, good or W T F?

That was a W T F name he put up that elicited my response

A little surprised the search committee wasn't already formed.

It was, on Jan 29. If Ray wants to be on the committee, he's on the committee.

AD Ward made 350k + 100k bonus. At UM he starts at 800k. Any big time (p5) assistant AD is probably already making more than we can / will pay. Look for a young up and comer with ambition.

For this to be accurate, you'd have to believe Warde left Michigan as one of its top AD assistants, joined Buffalo at a pay cut, and still earned less as UConn's AD than in his prior Ann Arbor assistant AD role.

You're a tad off on Manuel's salary @ UConn. His base was $450k and was eligible for an additional $100k in incentives when he left.

According to the Chicago Tribune, Sean Frazier is out of the running for the Illinois AD opening.

Thanks good news and I saw this today...

WM left UM 11 years ago. Since that time the money in college football has exploded upward. The UB + UC job were a step up at that point in time. Having "Head Man" on a resume is a big plus for some one with lofty goals.

Any word/rumors about the new AD? I know they'll keep it close to the vest but one of you multi talented Boneyarders should have bugged somebody's office by now

You must be new to this college sports thing. Hiring an AD is nothing like hiring a coach.
