USA Today: Ferentz contract one of 5 worst in CF

Well he is 11-5 against ISU lately, so there's that.

Why is it clown fans struggle so much with the concept of maximizing revenue?

I see according to documents filed with the Board of Regents Iowa has $25m more in football revenue than poor little ole isu and that doesn’t include money from the Big Ten.

As Cytwins would say.......YIKES.
 
A lot of that class either never made it to Lincoln or started in Lincoln and never saw the field. Great class on paper, not so much in person.
Do some search on Iowa’s classs, they have quite a few from 2 contributing classes that don’t have many who are actually contributing or are even still at Iowa. It happens everywhere not just Nebraska.

I never said that it didn't.
 
This thread is still going on? Good grief. Well let me say that I think EVERY college football coach that makes more money than the governor of the state is making WAY too much money. I think Hayden started at $40,000 a year at Iowa and his assistants (Kirk) made less than 20k. This is one of the many reasons state tuition has skyrocket in the last 30-40 years and it needs to change!
 
Iowa fans are not concerned about prices. They are filling their stadium.
BTW, Keith Jackson says to stop using his famous tag line as your nomiker. Says he doesn't want anyone thinking he went to hell/Ames when he passed on. He also said ABC only ever sent him to games that people cared about so he hadn't spent time in L'Ames during his living years.
Ya, got da "WhoaNellie" from Keith Jackson, loved listening to him call games. :)
 
The athletic department is self-sustaining. Tuition dollars are not used for athletics.

Good grief cheerscoach, now let's restrict coaches' salaries to solve the cost of tuition issue. Those two things literally have nothing to do with one another, except that Kirk Ferentz is the coach at Iowa and makes a lot of money, and Iowa charges tuition and tuition costs have gone up since he's been the coach. Might as well blame rising tuition on the price of corn.

The reason that tuition has far out-paced the cost of inflation is pretty simple: the ready supply to money through the myriad student loan programs. There is literally zero incentive for universities to control costs in any meaningful way as students have access to money in the form of government-backed loans. Politically no one will touch this as there is no desire to restrict persons' ability to attend college, but it's how you end up with year after year of rising costs and ever-increases student debt to attend college.

And KF's contract has zero impact on this.
