RE: ACC Athletic Directors Have The Highest Guaranteed Salaries Of Any Other Conference
So basically, the ACC has Tom Jurich and 3 other guys who make over $1M/year, and the lowest paid AD's are not included because they're at private schools... so this data is really not all that useful for comparing averages.

Still, some of those guys appear to be over-paid, IMHO.

Some of those guys are going to have to hire replacements for HoF coaches. If they do well, they are worth every penny. If they pull off a Matt Doherty they should refund every penny they ever got from the school.

I find the G5 numbers more of a surprise.

you must mean for basketball, in which case they are worth 20 cents on the dollar. The other 80 comes from hiring a good football coach.07-coffee3

Programs with HOF hoops coaches make more than 20 cents on the dollar from the hoops program. Therefore, those decisions are as critical (if not moreso for some of those schools) than football decisions.

For Louisville, the hoops revenue is significant. Duke and Syracuse also consistently rank in the top 5 schools in generating hoops revenue.

Football at Louisville will continue to outpace hoops, because we are still tapping into those revenue streams. When this last expansion is complete by 2018, football will have 3 times the seating as hoops (granted, hoops has 3 times the games) but more importantly, a crap ton more luxury suites. Which is where the real money is. And since U of L owns it's football stadium outright, that becomes purer profit.

But Louisville will never consider hoops to be only worth 20 cents on the dollar.

As such, our AD will be making more money than schools who treat their non-football sports as afterthoughts.

Oh ..... sorry .... I'll go back to my corner now. 04-cheers

It is an interesting subject -- maximizing the revenues from the top two revenue sports. I have read about Va Tech's efforts there, and have been impressed. I think the Hokies will be making big strides with overall revenue in short order.

To tie that back into the original point of this post --- if the AD can significantly increase revenues to his/her athletic department, they would be worth the higher salaries. But I know academics don't really think that way.

Louisville will be building an on campus basketball arean as soon as enough funds are raised. Since the Arena Authority is violating lease contract. We will walk as soon as possible, write it down. 07-coffee3

What's the capacity at the yum center? I would assume an on campus facility would be at least as big and luxury suites and boxes at least as plentiful.

Honestly I hope that doesn't happen. I know we have some deep pockets that are upset but I hope calmer heads prevail. I would rather see that money used to fund other academic and athletic improvement projects.

I could see the UofL buying the Yum before they walk, that had been the plan anyway. Them giving back $2.5 million a year may speed that process up. The only way they walk I think is if an NBA team comes in. The state should be kicking in more $. Over the last 10 years, Louisville residents have paid $1.2 billion more in taxes than what was returned from the rest of the state. This is why it was built, to fuel the only economic engine of the state.

Actually I think the original plan was for a smaller arena, around 15k IIRC. I'm sure that the suits & boxes would still be plentiful however. They were going to build it down by the football & baseball stadiums, that's were Jurich & the fans wanted it.

I have always wanted this, but thought it a huge long shot. However, now, I think it is more likely.

This would be better for the school, AND would open up the possibility of U of L playing NCAA games at the YUM Center. A win - win.

Regarding capacity -- I'd peg it right around 19K - 20K, with much better sightlines for those higher up than what the Yum Center provides. And it would also at the very least match the number of suites that the Yum has.

I'd say that this would be "front burner-ed" but even with that, you're looking 7-10 years down the road. What has U of L agreed to regarding being the Yum Center's tenant? Anyone know? I am too lazy to google this, and hope someone knows this off the top of their head.

Although, we just agreed to amending the original agreement, so .... I believe the arena authority would have to do something else, going forward, in order for us to launch the escape clause (and they are very capable of repeating the violations of this amended agreement, but we'll have to wait and see).

I don't see TJ pulling that ejection lever without having a solid plan in place for the replacement arena. Which is why I say we're 7-10 years away from that. I also think TJ wants to get the football expansion wrapped up before tackling something as sticky as extracting ourselves from the political boon-doggle that is the Yum Center.
