Carroll and Stoops overpaid? Weis underpaid at 4.2mm?

It's an interesting look at salaries versus revenue from football programs.


Here's the link

 

George O'Leary at UCF about made me fall out of my seat...I guess I remember all the talk about his salary when he was hired but I forgot. Darn glad they showed some improvement this season because he could have been in some trouble if not. That is a tough salary to cover if you can't win.

 

I would not have guessed that the gamecocks generated $46 mill from football, 5th in the SEC. And I would have pegged Oklahoma at $60+ mill.

 

June Jones % shocked me...20% of the projected revenue makes me wonder where a lot of their revenues are coming from.

 

Surely that is a result of hard times. I expect Bo will give them at least a 10 mill pop within the next two years. Think of the shockwave that has to all the other sports in their program?

 

USC doesn't have a lot of fan support. PC taking home 10.5% of their revenue.

 

Osbourne proves it can happen...that ball is on Bo now.

 

It should be interesting to see and I sure wouldn't say never, cause Nebraska isn't THAT far off of us- though I understand where you're coming from.

In '05 they actually hauled in a class rated higher than ours, by rivals' standards, anyway; and last year they were in the mix.


Nebraska’s recruiting class rankings:

’04.................#27 (LSU#2)
’05.................#5 (LSU # 22)
’06.................#20 (LSU #7)
’07................#13 (LSU #4)
’08................#30 (LSU #11)


No surprises they fell down pretty far this year with the coach vacancy occuring (Just as we did in '05). I would think a storied program like Nebraska could recruit Top 10 classes on a consistent basis with the right guy in place.

They seem to have been in a troubled state since the firing of Solich after their AD refused to "gravitate into mediocrity" with a 9-3 season- which was actually 10-3 with the bowl game but Frankae was gone and Pelini interim coach.

That 5-6 the following year musta stung. :lol: In fact, they've only won 9 games once in the 4 years after FS being booted and that was with 5 loses in '06.
