USF 3.5 million assistant coach salary pool

[noeynox]

Twice that of UConn. Food for thought.

It’s amazing - 3.5MM per year for the coach of a G5 directional school with a 7MM tv contract that nets you 5.5MM for all sports. USF should have a real hard time if Scott doesn’t pan out.

The assistant coach salary pool is about the same as what was written in Charlie Strong’s contract. It helps to have a bitter rival just down the road that is having historic success (UCF) to motivate a school to up its investment to compete.

Why is this food for thought?

Make of it what you will. This is a school we should be competing against for players and coaches. We have to see after FB gets a TV deal where are numbers are. You can't claim you're trying to compete paying your HC 1 million and your assistants half of what UCF and USF are paying. I get we are in a transition period but there is no way those schools are financially doing that much better than UConn. If they are there is something very wrong.

I don’t think anyone disputes UCONN assistant coach salary pool is pitiful.

You realize the TV contract is just one tiny piece of a university's revenue right?

Of course. ....but its not a tiny source.

Sadly, UConn is a body bag game for them now. They're not competing at the same level anymore.

Doesn't USF get a lot of donations and research grants?

Less than 9 months out. Where is this mythical TV contract?

Research grants have absolutely nothing to do with football funding

True. It does create a lot of dollar flow though. UConn is ranked about 80th in research dollars, whereas Rutgers is 30th and Buffalo is 50th. USF is in the 40s. Go figure. Susie LAX was focused on this but I don’t think she had any real impact.

What confuses me is why it remains this way? It begs the question if the admin is serious about football.

I think you have answered your own question.

Dollar flow is only important in getting UConn into the AAU which now appears impossible.

There's a lot of competition in the area for research money.
