No University of Iowa football coaches took pay cuts amid pandemic, including Ferentz Coaches McCaffery, Bluder, Brands took pandemic pay cuts; not F

[GOHOX69]

You probably think he’s paid with taxpayer money, too, every year.

Look I don't care who pays him. You can for all that matters. All I'm saying is delink the football from the University. It's as simple as that.

Who pays for academics?

? Taxpayers, donors, students.

Take a look at what Coach Ferentz has done for the children’s hospital. He’s not a greedy person.

 

[KFSuperStar]

It’s not the coaches fault the Big 10 was dumb and didn’t allow fans.

 

[NDallasRuss]

Football pays the bills.

Does it though? From that article:

"Even in fiscal 2020 — which ended last June, about four months after the pandemic began — Hawkeye football expenses came in $714,285 over budget at $30.4 million and $8.9 million over the football program’s $21.6 million income, which was under expectations."

Guess I’d be curious how many football coaches nationwide took pay cuts.

Iowa State coaches and AD staff gave up what ended up being $4Million in base pay and bonuses. Cost Matt Campbell some serious incentive money for playing in the Championship and winning a NY6 bowl.

No assistant coaches pay was affected.

Iowa State coaches will have pay reduced, in financial belt-tightening move due to losses from coronavirus

Athletics director Jamie Pollard announced Wednesday a plan that the school hopes will save $3 million in payroll.

Not this year

Not quite a normal year wouldn’t you agree? 8 games instead of 13 with a bowl. That’s s lot of lost ticket and TV $$$.

Yes, but this was not a normal year.

It's certainly not a normal year, hence the abnormal request.

Not when revenues that used to fund that are cut substantially. Everyone should feel the pain to help the university or business.

I hope you're kidding. I just never understand why or how we have to punish the successful/wealthy in order to raise others up. Its not KF's fault or his assistant coaches' fault that most of the athletic programs are a drain on the athletic department/University. Even if they took no salaries for all of 2020, they wouldn't hardly make a dent in the deficit that was created by this china virus. It actually makes sense for the non-revenue earning coaches to take a pay-cut since they aren't bringing anything to the table anyway.

Nobody made money this year.

Appropriate name

Ya know, they should have taken pay cuts especially when they are wanting to cut sports. That’s what’s lost in all of this. It’s a bad look. KF has made A LOT of money at Iowa. He can take a 25% cut for a few years.

Doesn’t he do that every year donating millions of dollars to the UI children’s hospital? There probably isn’t a more philanthropic coach in the country than KF.

FSU coach Mike Norvell's pandemic pay reduction among biggest in college football

FSU coach Mike Norvell's reduction in pay due to the coronavirus pandemic is among the biggest for a college football coach in the country.

www.google.com

As it turns out, new Florida State head coach Mike Norvell is among those who was most impacted by these reductions. His total salary reduction of $968,750 over this year and 2021 is the second-largest among college football coaches, second only to Clemson coach Dabo Swinney.

Men’s basketball, women’s basketball, wrestling...obviously not ‘next man in’ when they got to the football offices.

Wait, what?

Employer contribution side was cut back to save money.

Wrong budget.

 

[anon_ddojbbh8q7xrt]

Did any of you take a voluntary pay cut? I sure the fuvk wouldn't either if I had a contract.

I think its more about how one acts as a leader and how you inspire and motivate your followers when they all have pay cuts (involuntary) but you choose not to. I agree I wouldn’t do it but then again I am not a head coach of a major athletic organization. I dont know what I would do in that situation but I must admit the optics are bad

He donated $1 million back in 2017, but has such a donation been made since? I don’t believe it’s a yearly thing? I could be wrong.
