OT: Nebraska Asst. coaches nearly 5m

When a S&C coach is making $375K, it really puts into light for me why my interest in and passion for college sports has really fizzled over the past 10 years or so.
Is $5 million for assistants at a Big Ten school that much? We were going to pay an OC $1 million
Because, it’s been Pitt’s culture for years and years. No transparency. But they expect people to donate.
That shouldnt be a reason to NOT donate, it's more common than you think. In our own state, I dont believe Penn State OR Temple reveal the salaries of its assistant coaches either.
Either do such notable schools such as Notre Dame, Southern Cal, Stanford, Miami, Duke, TCU, Baylor, Naval Academy... the list goes on. Locally, WVU does though. Tony Gibson is the highest paid down there, and is in the Top 25 -- without him that program would wilt, he keeps recruits flowing in. A couple schools have multiple coaches in the Top 25 of the highest paid assistant coaches.
Alabama has 4
Michigan has 3
LSU, Georgia and Florida have 2 each
Firing their coach and getting a candidate like Frost to go there a paying a staff nicely is not being serious?
