Message: [QUOTE="DefenseBB, post: 2546591, member: 7492"] Thank you for the kind words and yes, you are spot on that it takes money and the schools are really only putting out many women sports due to Title IX. That said, some schools are drastically overpaying coaches to underachieve. Stephanie White making $600-800k? Holly making $650k? Seriously? The programs do not generate revenue like football or men's basketball. Add in the salary of Carolyn Peck at Vandy and all the others on that staff and to be 1-6 in conference play??? Come on that's a waste of money. I get you want the schools to put more money into recruiting, facilities etc. however, with the overly skewed salaries in this sport, how do you think the other non-revenue sports feel- soccer, swimming, volleyball, field hockey? They need those sports too to qualify for MCBB or CFB playoff money and most of those coaches have to have two jobs. Even Holly for all her moderate success should not be making that kind of money without a better resume. I just don't get it especially with University presidents making half that or less and they run an entire educational component. Holly can't even control 12 women... [/QUOTE]
