Max Siegel asked USATF delegates to cheer $7M spent on 700 athletes, when $1.8M was salary for 1 CEO.

Who got 100K?

Then fire Max and get an ex-Microsoft exec to volunteer for $1/decade ;-)

Corruption, greed, cronyism, etc. Another example of the top of the tier milking $$ from idiots that turn their back on the corruption because they are on the same gravy train. $1.8 mil for Siegal? Really people? Nothing will be done and someone below his rank will move in and take over the gravy train throne of greed. So sad for track and field. USATF is FULL of these same types. Look at the names of key "executives" within USATF. Same lineup more $$.... And the summer club kids and parents are spending hard earned and raised dollars at the grass roots level while Siegal gets over $1 million? Wow.

Trump should look into this, Max, lock him up!

Smoke and mirrors

Probably Rupp and includes prize money, usoc funding, as well as usatf funding and perks. If you listened carefully, that the way he put it. Rupp had a big payday at marathon and track trials

What kind of a finders fee or brokers commission was involved in the NBC Deal?

She's the only track and field athlete that most non T&F fans can name. For sure it's not Hasay.

Phoebe Wright's Tweet flat out shows she doesn't know what's really going on in the world of track. Arm-chair quarterback.

Definitely Felix.

Then do tell, "what's really going on in the world of track"??

Actually it's probably the male or female winner of the road circuit, which isn't actually usatf's $$.

Just Max taking credit for the road races' support of runners.

Seigel schill Abrahamson claims the following:

In 2016, 111 athletes earned more than $38,000.

In 2016, 179 athletes were over $25,000.

Bottom line — 28 athletes made over $100,000, and for the third time, because when it comes to finances in track and field, this can’t be repeated enough: that does not include shoe deals or appearance fees, where traditionally the real money in the sport can be found.

Anyone know what and how much fits in the reimbursements column?

siegal is criminal

he is a vulture for his own good, when most of the athletes literally are in need.

usatf heads should not be flaunting the "show me the money " lifestyle and pretend 25 grand is what our best US hopefuls deserve !!!

truely sad

How many non track and field fans can name Siegel?

He doesn't deserve his massive salary not because its more than the athletes get, but because its way more than Siegel is worth. You could get someone way more competent for much less. He has done nothing special to deserve a multi million dollar salary.

Please no one mention the crap Nike deal that Siegel didn't even negotiate.

Athletics is full of these tools. Same deal in UK. Athletics makes money, athletes just don't get paid.

Think Don King.

No one respects Siegel. On top of the Washington Post article that came out regarding his lack financial ethics we are waiting for a reporter to ask about his relations with female athletes. He's a puppet for John Capriotti and Steve Miller. A highly paid puppet.

The reason this is frustrating is because for logical and intelligent people, Siegel is a terrible CEO and is grossly overpaid. So then you ask well why is he in the job when someone more qualified, more honest and for half the salary could do a better job as USATF CEO. Yes, that is why. Some powerful people want him there for a reason.
