Susan Herbst just got a BiG time extension

[UConnDan97]

I'd much rather be investing at the university than giving ESPN a few more million.

Amen to that!

As far as her payment relative to her predecessors, she is making more than any of them. But I don't have a problem with that on principle, since pay should typically increase over time. I'm going to bow out of the conversation now, since I've only ever had 1 concern with the pay increase, and that concern cannot be addressed here anyways. It can only be addressed by President Herbst, the BOT, and the legislature / governor. But yes...dear God yes...I'd rather spend money on UConn than on ESPN!!!

The funniest, in my opinion is Nevada whose highest paid employee is a Plastic Surgeon at a medical schools (assuming UNLV). Good to see where their priorities lie.

Plastic surgery is a medical specialty concerned with the "correction" or restoration of form and function. Though cosmetic or aesthetic surgery is the best-known kind of plastic surgery, plastic surgery is not necessarily cosmetic; and includes many types of reconstructive surgery, Craniofacial surgery, hand surgery, microsurgery, and the treatment of burns. Wikipedia, natch. Not so funny in that context.

No disrespectwa s meant towards reconstructive surgeons who help people, like a cousin of mine whohad half his face taken off in a motorcycle accident or several women in my family who had reconstructive surgery after a mastectomy.

"Nevada is unusual in that a university football or basketball coach is not the highest-paid state employee. That honor goes to William Zamboni, a surgeon and professor at the UNR School of Medicine, who collected more than $1.1 million in base pay alone last year."

Excellent research Mr. Conehead, gave me a good laugh. Let's hope some of his students use their expertise for truly worthwhile endeavors.

Wen don't have a hockey team here in Reno so we have him clean the court at halftime of basketball games.
