What Should Coaching at Umass Be Worth? E.B What should coaching at UMass be worth? E.B. Chuff Figuring out what an NCAA D1 men’s basketball coach makes is sort of like trying to figure out what the Archbishop makes. Even if you can find a base salary, and at private Catholic schools in particular that’s nearly impossible, then no one knows the exact terms of shoe contracts, summer camps, bonus incentives, free cars or use of university jet. Still, in a desperate move to avoid a large stack of essay exams waiting to be corrected, I decided to see what could be seen out there on the internets. The data is, as I said, sketchy, and in some cases, a few years old. But it still gives us some idea of what it might take to put together a lucrative package at UMass. If you had asked me before I started digging, “Chuff, what would it take to keep Travis, or someone like him, financially happy in Amherst?” I would have answered “Oh, a base of about $500,000 with some decent opportunities for another 20%”. In fact, I think I told Swampy exactly that at Stout the other night. He told me he had always found that kind of income to keep him happy in Sunderland. But, as usual in high-end financial circles, I don’t have a real clue. St. Louis is rumored to be giving Majerus a million. St. Joe’s, Xavier and Dayton act like revealing financial packages is at least a venial sin. Still, the estimate is that Sean Miller will get over a million at Xavier (9). That would suggest that Martelli is in that range as well. Fran Dunphy gets $800,000 or thereabouts at Temple. Brian Gregory probably does better than than the $484,000 that is listed by Charity Navigator. You know, that may be part of why the private Catholic schools don’t want to reveal salaries – it just doesn’t seem right what with the Church going broke and all to have basketball coaches getting close to a million bucks a year. Even Jimmy Baron, who Thorr says did a great job this year in spite of their end of the season choke, gets $430,000. Draw your own conclusions, but if we want to be a team that competes with Xavier, Temple and St. Joe’s, it seems pretty obvious. Some Averages Average salary for 65 coaches in NCAA tournament (2006): $800,000 (1) Average salary for ACC, Big 12, Big 10, Big East, Pac10, SEC: $1.2 million (3X other coaches) (1) Some Big Timers Al Skinner - $757,658 (1) Jim Calhoun - $1,500,000 (1) Jim Boeheim - $1,095,365 (1) Billy Donovan - $1,389,173 (1) one-time bonus of $1,942,500. His contract also includes cars (in the medium price range) for him and his wife. (3) Tad Matta - $1,750,000 (1) $2,500,000 (2) Rick Pitino’s take from Louisville will be at least $2.45 million this year (2007), part of that a $1 million bonus for staying through the current season. If Pitino approximates the more than $1.5 million in shoe and apparel endorsements and other outside income he reported a year ago, his gross will approach or surpass $4 million. (1) John Calipari got $1,315,000 a year in guaranteed cash and a one-time bonus of $2.5 million. (3) Some A14 Coaches Rick Majerus $1,000,000 (6) Sean Miller $1,000,000 (9) Fran Dunphy $800,000 (7) Brian Gregory $484,342 (4) Jim Baron $430,000 (8) Karl Hobbs $378,381 (4) Ron Everhart $350,000 (11) Bobby Lutz $300,000 (5) Chris Mooney $300,000 (5) Mark Schmidt $300,000 (10) John Giannini $275,000 (5) Derek Whittenburg $264,043 (4) ___________________________________ Refs.

  • Mega Conferences
    Non-revenue sports Football, of course, provides the impetus for any conference realignment. In men's basketball, coaches will lose the built-in recruiting tool of playing near home during conference play and then at Madison Square Garden for the Big East Tournament. But what about the rest of the sports? Here's a look at the potential Missouri Pittsburgh Syracuse Nebraska Ohio State Northwestern Minnesota Michigan St. Wisconsin Purdue State Penn Michigan Iowa Indiana Illinois future of the non-revenue sports at Rutgers if it joins the Big Ten: BASEBALL Now: Under longtime head coach Fred Hill Sr., the Scarlet Knights made the Rutgers NCAA Tournament four times last decade. The Big East Conference’s national clout was hurt by the defection of Miami in 2004. The last conference team to make the College World Series was Louisville in 2007. After: Rutgers could emerge as the class of the conference. You find the best baseball either down South or out West. The power conferences are the ACC, Pac-10 and SEC. A Big Ten team has not made the CWS since Michigan in 1984. MEN’S CROSS COUNTRY Now: At the Big East championships in October, Rutgers finished 12th out of 14 teams. Syracuse won the Big East title and finished 14th at nationals. Four other Big East schools made the Top 25. After: The conferences are similar. Wisconsin won the conference title and took seventh at nationals. Two other schools made the Top 25. MEN’S GOLF Now: The Scarlet Knights have made the NCAA Tournament twice since 1983.
