Calhoun a bargain......

 

[FfldCntyFan]

I kind of expected the median income in CT to be a bit higher and the median income in a few of the other states mentioned to be a bit closer than $20k less.

I also believe that after seeing this list those who were throwing Donovan's name around can stop. We are not offering our next coach more than what JC is making and Donovan won't take that cut in pay to come here.

Calhoun a bargain......

I don't know if I'd say a bargain, but I guess I wouldn't complain that it's too high either seeing what others are paid. I'm curios as to what the breakdown is. I know that there is some base salary and then the difference is made up in advertisements or speaking engagements? does the university pay for the latter as well?

Im happy to see that only 4 schools pay significantly more for their coaches that UCONN does. That bodes well for attracting the next coach whoever it is.

Kind of surprised to see that Sean Miller makes the same money as Calhoun. A lot younger and really has not done much yet in terms of success

I'd imagine Jimmy B has to be close to top 10

 

[UConn5]

Articles/lists like these make it the outrage of JC's "not a dime back" so absurd. JC has made money for this state...period. He has been underpaid for about 10 years now. It is a fact, yet people express outrage at how much he makes. No other state employee puts as much money into the state's pockets at JC. Geno included.

That being said, if they aren't going "in house" with their next hire, they will have to break to bank. I doubt they go that route, but they will have to spend a lot to lure another coach from outside the calhoun tree to UConn. Too big of shoes to fill.

Median salary in Connecticut is $66,000? That's gotta be a typo.

Apparently, it's close to being right...

They won't have to "break the bank". They currently pay their coach more than all but 9 other universities in the country. If they simply keep the same budget they will be able to lure just about anyone not named Calipari, Krzhakesieeweski, Izzo, etc.

TX obviously has money to burn

some of those coaches resume's just don't compete with the others

Household income often has two salaries.

I found it amusing that we were $20k-$25k ahead of everyone else on the list.

Two things:

1. Calhoun has always been willingly underpaid. He loves the school and doesn't need the money. We would probably pay the same or more for the right coach. If UConn wants Donovan and he wants UConn, they would talk. JC knows he is underpaid and so does the school.

2. Connecticut's income is so high because of hedge funders. It skews the numbers big time. It isnt because there is an unlimited supply of 66k management jobs in the state. For those of you that haven't experienced first hand some of the opulence found in southern Fairfield County, it can be beyond your wildest dreams. People with hundreds of millions of dollars have become almost typical. Their $150,000,000 annual incomes really boost the states income numbers.

 

[FfldCntyFan]

It isn't as dependent on hedge funders as you believe hoophound. There are many households down here where the annual income is well into six figures. It would be quite difficult in fact to raise a family even in Norwalk or Stamford with an annual household income of $66k.

I'm well aware. Hartford, New Haven and Tolland counties are pretty high income as well in the grand scheme of things but the heavy hitters in Fairfield County are very heavy hitters and that is why the gap is so big between Ct and other states. If it weren't for them, there would still be a gap but it would be half the size. New York, New Jersey and California have similar earners but much larger populations, so the effect isn't so noticeable.

Fact check, of sorts: The reported figure of $66k+ was a median, not an average. This means that half the family incomes families CT families exceed $66k and half are less than that. If it were average income, then it would be skewed upward due to those who earn staggeringly large incomes. Even then, however, centimillionaires are not even close to "almost typical," and $150,000,000 annual incomes are freakishly rare, though they have been reported. What is astonishing about lower Fairfield County is how widespread the apparent wealth is, encompassing the clear majority of Greenwich, Darien, New Canaan, Ridgefield, Wilton, Redding, Westport and Weston, as well as truly substantial portions of Stamford, Norwalk, Easton, Fairfield and Newtown. That's about 450,000 people in a relatively contiguous concentration of wealth that may be like nowhere else on the planet. Finally, the median household income figures are likely for adjusted gross income and therefore may not account for tax-advantaged economic resources such as those derived from allowable business deductions that simultaneously serve personal needs and non-work .income from certain types of investments. (Or something pretty close to the above)

Connecticut has always been the richest state in the Union, per capita.
Obviously the income is much higher in Fairfield Co. than in eastern CT.

The point was while It is extremely rare, it is not nearly as rare as people think. While median is different than average, average is widely used in these reports and Connecticut benefits greatly from the uber rich in the stats. I need to give more thought to the median number though. I would have guessed the average income would be higher than the median. That's definitely surprising.

I no longer live in CT (lived in Fairfield and Hartford counties) but it is quite difficult to raise a family almost anywhere on the east coast on less than 100k. I always seem to gravitate to expensive areas for work, travel etc and find that they all have similar costs of living. It doesn't matter if its Connecticut, California or Florida, if you want good schools, nice houses and good restaurants you pay for it.
