http://www.sportsline.com/collegefootball/story/10029030 Money raised by Florida State's booster organization will be used to nearly double the pay of one new assistant football coach and increase another's by 50 percent, according to copies of contracts released Wednesday. Advertisement Offensive coordinator Jimbo Fisher, whose base salary from the university is $215,000, will get $210,000 from the Athletic Development Fund raised by the Seminole Boosters. The extra money is compensation for additional duties not required to draw his base pay, including fundraising, speeches, radio and television shows and public relations contacts with alumni, supporters and civic and community groups, official said.
That's great. So while FSU is spending $210,000 on upping the ante on one of their assistant coaches, we'll spend that much on upgrading fascilities or by "spreading that wealth" among multiple coaches.
yeah. What I was saying is that it's like if LSU would say, "ok, $210,000 will be taken every year from TAF to pay for contracts" (ugh...unless LSU DOES do that and I'm just nieve to it). :redface:
taf funds quite a bit of the salaries of our current coaches. http://www.lsu.edu/lsutoday/050128/pageone.html old article, but you get the gist (jist? sp)
