Bama and Clemson coaching salaries

[swampcougar1]

As long as the present AD and BOT are in place I doubt we will ever spend the money to attract top assistents

 

[BigCaneAl]

Would love to see Bama player salaries

You are wrong. Clemsom, like UF and FSU in Florida, is a state-supported university -- not a private school that receives no tax dollars like Miami. As for being small, they have 20,000 undergrads.

As for history, Frank Howard was a legendary HC in the football history of the South. At one point, thought of as almost a peer of Bear Bryant.

State school and taxes have nothing to do with athletics. Tax dollars don't go into funding athletic endeavors or paying for coaches. Athletic departments are funded from within the athletic department through tickets, conference payouts, game appearance fees (for those school the big ones beat up on), and donors.

They get infrastructure money.... FSU funded their entire stadium expansion through taxpayer money... throw in a couple classrooms..

That money gets pumped in to the hospital. Miami sees this golden goose and takes it for granted.

You're telling me that no money from the State of Florida went into building/maintaining the stadiums and all the other athletic facilities at UF and FSU? Or, their dorms, money for scholarships, etc? Looking to be educated.

If Clemson Can spend that much we can too

Small school with no real history before dabo

Large alumni base, and a tradition of winning under Danny Ford and Frank Howard. Those hicks have been spending on that program for generations.

 

[Cane44]

They left of s&c. Isnt bamas the highest paid guy. $500k+

Even though this has been stated more times than I'd care to admit, I"m going to drop this little bit of knowledge on you.

WHAT THE ATHLETIC DEPARTMENT MAKES, IT GETS TO KEEP.


In other words, no academic department will ever see a dime from the revenue of the athletic department. Honestly, the medical school's revenue DWARFS anything the athletic department could ever dream of earning. No one is going to write the athletic department a check for 500 million dollars. The medical school brings those kind of donors. The medical school is where big time research projects are, that's where a school earns the majority of their funding.

The REASON why Miami athletics isn't able to spend like drunken sailors is because A)This fanbase sucks, and B)The alumni base isn't large enough to overcome a fanbase that doesn't donate, even when times are good. Remember the following: Alabama, FSU, and Florida produce more alumni in one year, than Miami can in four. That's a huge pool of people to get money out of, and that's not including the people that didn't attend the institution that are passionate about the school anyway. Clemson has people that spend thousands per year on a parking permit, just so they can tailgate on game day. We aren't even talking about tickets to get into the facility. That's why Clemson can spend on recruits, coaching salaries and whatnot.

Miami football apparently generates more than 100 million annually in revenue, not sure how much of that goes back into football but can guarantee its lower than other schools.

I'd love to know how much UM football generates versus has much is actually invested back into it.

 

[Rellyrell]

It's crazy how sports can warp your perception of the real world, in real life a guy making 500K is doing **** well and likely making a noticeable contribution to society, in CFB he coaches 18yr old linebackers.

I would KILL to make $500k/yr. lol. But u r so right! lol

Yes, that is what I'm telling you. The costs of most power five teams are covered by ticket sales, television contracts, apparel deals, and donors.

Where things get tricky, is when you drop down to the MAC level and so forth. Even the big schools have an athletic fee, but it is marginal at the powerhouse programs. The smaller conferences lacking the big television deals (their dream is to get picked up by a power 5 conference) are tacking more and more of those fees into the student's tuition bill. It has set off some alarms when said schools want to fund something for the athletic program (player only facilities in particular) as the regular students are paying for it, but get no use out of it.

It's an odd thing as tuition is rising exponentially across the land and most of it is tied to athletics. There's some interesting articles out there on the subject. Forbes has had a few good pieces, but one thing is certain, the schools really aren't transparent where all of that student tuition money goes.

Plus bag$$$ = $20M per year budgeted each

Compared to the revenue they generate when they win? I don’t know why Miami looked at it from a business decision. Sure you’d spend more but winning generates more money..

 

[NC_Canes_11]

Kind off topic but interesting question for y’all, I just noticed Clemson’s coaches. Looking at how the elite teams choose what positions to dedicate a full time on field coach toward, how much better are d lines who have DT and DE coaches?

Is it worth it to structure your staff like Clemson does on defense?

Thanks for the education. All these years I thought UF, FSU and all the state schools around the nation had some financial resource advantage over us coming from public money. So ... I'm wondering why we don't have a stadium like the Swamp or Doak, somewhere in Miami? It's all on "cheap" donors/alumni? I mean, we have the TV money, supposedly the ticket sales, apparel deals, etc!!

Kul is overpaid imo

Yeah, his DL got abused, big time.

Where did you read what you’re claiming?

 

[stormsurge]

Not price fixing (Nixon did that), cost control for parity. Ever heard of the NBA/NFL/NHL salary cap? Heck, MLB has a luxury tax that works sometimes (KC Royals) but most times doesn't (Red Sox, Cubs, Yankees). Wonder what sport is losing the most fans?

No doubt that Alabaga and Clem$on faithful would abide by the new cap as honestly as they abide by the current one.

One thing I haven't seen mentioned are the "booster" clubs, totally unaffiliated with the schools, but pump in tons of cash. IIRC the Bama booster club paid of Sabans mortgage a few years back.

That's what Miami will never be able to compete with, one of you schmucks needs to win the Power ball and get us up to speed!
