"Not FSU related, but it is big news in the softball landscape, which FSU now sits atop of right now. Oregon was the #1 seed this year in the WCWS.
He went to 9 SRs in 9 years, including 5 trips to the CWS. "
"Likely made around $300K last year. But OU's coach is paid over $900K/year. I'm sure Texas gave him a nice bump.
I wonder what Alameda makes. I remember hearing during our search several of our top candidates removed their names because FSU's offer wasn't great. It worked out pretty well anyway, but we'll probably have to bump Alameda to keep her, too."
And it doesn't matter if it's a "different time" or not. That doesn't change the financials surrounding the coaching search. But the point was to find out how much Alameda makes and what it would take to make it more competitive nationally."
If they're poaching women's softball coaches, no one cares... but the fact that they CAN do it is a bit concerning, no doubt. I guess UNC and UVA will be motivated when they can no longer win the Director's Cup.
ReplyDeleteAgreed that it is about what 'you' care about. I would argue if you care about anything, you should care because the belief that 'your' sport is protected just isn't true. $20 million revenue gaps will eventually affect all sports.
