20. We have a basketball coach who recently held the U hostage for more money
Edited on Fri Aug-19-11 10:13 PM by BiggJawn
"Went to Disneyworld", for some talks with "other" schools and they found enough money to double his salary.

So you take a 3 megabuck basketball coach, a football coach who makes over a million, a University president who banks almost 1/2 a million, some $150,000 a year professors, and a whole bunch of peons who make 8-14 bucks an hour.

Average those numbers together and you get a resentful local population who thinks the "gownies" are overpaid and underworked.

Oh, yes, the Townies have all the answers, first off, cut EVERYBODY'S pay by 50%.

Never mind that you can't legally pay 1/2 the service staff that little. Honestly, we got clerical staff who make $17,000 a year. And a basketball coach who makes millions.
