As parent of alumni, I do know a little about Notre Dame. I know the school has billions in endowment, sticks it to parents by increasing tuition annually, solicits alumni donations constantly, and makes gobs of money from athletics. They made $135million last year, up 11% over prior year and 42% from 5 years ago.
Yet head coach is making $100k and they are paying assistant coaches $40k? That is pathetic and explains why they’ve promoted an assistant twice in a row. The only person that sees $100k at ND worth the aggravation of the job is the person already willing to do it for $40k.
On a separate note, it must be humbling- if not humiliating- for assistants to help these kids for 4 years and they all enter workforce at 22 earning more than them. Hell, even their scholarships are more than your salary. Shame on ND
