Pretty typical of big school head coaches though.
what happened to xc coach Mark Rinker at LSU?
They can afford it because their football coach is so underpaid and only ranks 30th among head football coaches.

Where is Jonathan Marcus to say you have to work up through the sport by working for free and doing volunteer coaching jobs. Clearly not. Nobody needs to be a volunteer coach or work a season for a couple thousand. You could hire a bunch of people and pay them a living wage with all that money.

I guess I'll say "good for him" but it makes me squirmy, given that the state of Louisiana is a poverty-stricken sh*t-hole.

Why hire a bunch of people and pay them a 'living wage' if the market has set the price at zero?

I'm not following your logic. The fact that you can eventually make really good money doesn't mean that most coaches won't also need to work their way up from the bottom.
It's not even a theoretical debate. It's just empirically true that most people do need to start in volunteer/low-paid positions at the beginning of their coaching career.
NERunner....please find a more positive existence involving some form of religion. You always bring your liberal, socialist rants into every thread. It feels like every time you post you must bring in politics in some form. This time you're coming in from the socialist angle of "We need to share the wealth. Why pay one man a nice salary that has been working for decades in his trade when we could slice his salary up and pay four people an equal salary?" Obviously you did not use that exact math there, as I do not know how many employees you were implying you think he needs.
who knew minimum wage was such a radical concept
Sure is a lot of money for a non-revenue sport.

It is a good thing for the local/statewide economy for people to get paid well. If you care about Louisiana's economy, you should want to see more people making mid six figure salaries, not getting "squirmy" about the relatively few residents who do make decent money.
I'm pretty sure that LSU's athletic department receives no/minimal subsidy from the university, so this isn't really a matter of allocating tax dollars (at least as of 2010 the department was fully self-supporting with ticket/TV revenue covering the full athletic budget and no use of tax or tuition money).

Lol -- I seem to have triggered some older white guys. That's a lot of money. You know that. Higher ed has plenty of issues in how much administrators and coaches can make. I'm not going to apologize for saying it's a problem. If you don't like it, I don't know what to tell you but your way of thinking is starting to lose steam in today's political climate.
That's sure a lot of money for a t&f coach. Isn't lsu just a sprints school?

So, why should one person make more than another?. That's not fair. I'll just tax the high income people and set a guaranteed income for the Louisiana sharecropper, struggling to survive.

Well, you can't win team track titles with distance runner
NERunner053,
Why do you paint with such a broad, racist brush? You assume someone is a particular race based off of their response. No matter what race you choose that is racist. Do you think you get a pass because you chose white? Do you not see that you are a massive hypocrite in the way you speak? You proclaim an entire group of people to all be the same based off of the way they vote, yet as long as you vote Democrat, you can be narrow minded and judgmental.
You need to reflect on the assumptions you make, and some of your narrow minded remarks. You make a fool out of yourself, and I hope you do not speak like this in public. I have a feeling that you do not.
My Big Ten coach was being paid about $20000/yr when he won a NCAA championship.

0% chance that you and 99% of other people on here aren't white dudes, especially sounding off the way you are on this thread. Maybe do some soul searching if you don't like that you're super easy to identify. Also none of this reverse racism stuff. Racism doesn't happen to white people because they feel uncomfortable sometimes. Racism is systemic and in America white folks hold power and use racism to maintain power/wealth over other groups. White folks aren't a victim of it too.
