This Bluejay spirit is a unifying characteristic that enhances the institution’s visibility and reputation.” Wayne and Eileen Ryan pose with Billy Bluejay at the groundbreaking The facility was fully funded by private monies and is home to Bluejay vol- for the Wayne and Eileen Ryan Athletic Center and D.J.

But on Monday Gary Walters had to handle a very loud and angry complaint from a team that DID get into the 65-team field. Niagara, which won Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Tournament, said it felt "disrespected" because it was put into the first-round game with Florida A&M Tuesday night in Dayton, Ohio. Niagara (22-11), which started the season 1-6 because it had suspended several players, felt it should not be in the Tuesday night game because there were other teams in the tournament with lower rankings than its 134 in the RPI. "I think it was shocking," coach Joe Mihalich told the Associated Press. "I think everybody was shocked and maybe some people were insulted by it. But that's good. That's fine with us." Walters dismissed the suggestion that asking teams to play in Tuesday's game cheapens their NCAA experience. "There are 260 teams that would love to be playing in the opening round game tomorrow night," Walters said in a conference call with reporters Monday afternoon.

    CoSIDA NEWS Intercollegiate Athletics News from Around the Nation May 7, 2007 Paying coaches big dollars just makes sense for colleges Page 1 of 2 http://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/college/bal-sp.whitley29apr29,0,7964613.story?coll=bal-college-sports From the Baltimore Sun Paying coaches big dollars just makes sense for colleges April 29, 2007 The year's most astounding sports number came out of Tuscaloosa last weekend: 92,138. That's how many fans showed up at Alabama's spring football game. I don't know whether to laugh, cry or invest in Nick Saban's new clothing line. I do know it should answer the concerns of people who think certain university employees are wildly overpaid. "You have to ask the hard questions," NCAA president Myles Brand said. "Is it the appropriate thing to do within the context of college sports?" He was responding to a question about the gold mine Kentucky was ready to dig for Florida basketball coach Billy Donovan. That came after Saban got his $4-million-a-year windfall. And in this week's affront to academic integrity, Rutgers announced its women's basketball coach is going to be making as much as its football coach. It will be interesting to see whether there's the same outcry when a woman cashes in, but that's beside the point. The point is that if anyone still is looking at this in the context of college sports, they hopelessly are blind to reality. The reality is that college sports is an increasingly gargantuan business.

To print this article open the file menu and choose Print ‹ ‹ Back Coaches won't stop cashing in Published: Sunday, 06/10/07 Have soapbox, will speak. Gordon Gee, Vanderbilt's chancellor, recently entertained a group of reporters at the SEC's spring meeting with a brief lesson in economics. "I'm the highest paid university president in the country," Gee said. "If I were a football coach in the Southeastern Conference, I'd be the lowest paid. "I think the value system is all out of whack." He's exaggerating about the salary structure — but only slightly. According to figures published in the Chronicle of Higher Education, Gee's total compensation package last year was $1.2 million. Meanwhile, seven SEC football coaches make more than Gee — and some of them significantly more. "I think what we've engaged in is an arms race that has gotten out of hand," Gee said. Guilty as charged. But what are you going to do about it? Nothing. This runaway train has long since left the station. Market principles govern coaching salaries … and chancellors' salaries, come to think of it. Rhetorical question: Would 100,000 people buy tickets and a nationwide TV audience tune in to see a university CEO conduct daily business? And then there are the external pressures. I haven't seen a firegordongee.com Web site lately.
