Duck budget bucket full to the brim

These are the 2018-2019 forecasts for the Athletic Department $120,584,750 in operating expenses, $120,584,750 in revenue. This is ignoring the ~$5M in subsidies from the academic side for the Jock Box, President Schill’s skybox, Lorraine Davis, etc. The ~$1.5M subsidy for the Hayward Field utility tunnel is buried somewhere else.

    It is good to remember that the head football coach is in charge of a “business” that has $100 million in revenue. The median compensation for companies with $100-$250 million in revenue is…wait…just $528,000? https://chiefexecutive.net/ceo-and-senior-executive-compensation-in-private-companies-2018-19/

    How about non-profits? The median salary of heads of non-profits in the highest revenue class (>$10 million) was $190,000.

    Football coaches are really in a pay grade of their own, disconnected from any kind of downward pressure to keep the salary at a reasonable level.

    • thedude 10/24/2019

      That’s mostly because they can’t pay the players.

    • honest Uncle Bernie 10/24/2019

      A better comparison is with the AD. That is a much more modest salary.

      The head coach is as much a performer as an executive, or more. Kind of like a conductor of a symphony orchestra.

      You might not like it, and I might not either, but the market says what the head coach is worth in the market. A lot.

      We can eat our envious hearts out, it doesn’t matter.

      Personally, I would much rather have a Nobel prize.

      • ScienceDuck 10/24/2019

        I think coaching salaries are driven upwards because there is no downside for the AD to pay more. As thedude said, they don’t pay the players, and there is no pressure to keep money for a rainy day or support student tuition with it. So when boosters demand wins and there is no pressure to rein in costs, we end up with high salaries to people like Leavitt who is getting $1.7 million for coaching…at FSU. That isn’t the market, it is more akin to CEOs being golf friends with the board that sets their salary and getting outlandish compensation unconnected to performance.

        I’m not speaking from envy. I feel sadness that a university mismanages its cash cow and asks students to dig deeper into debt, maybe take on another late night shift while trying study. It pushes staff and grad students to strike over matters that are fractions of coaching salaries. All because they see tuition dollars as easier to exploit than trying to hold back coaching salaries.

        • uomatters Post author | 10/24/2019

          Thanks, comment of the week. As Milton Friedman said, there’s nothing easier than spending other people’s money on your friends.

        Nobel Prize isn’t putting butts in the seats.

        • ScienceDuck 10/25/2019

          But a Nobel Prize does enhance the university’s research reputation, which would bump up a couple of notches in the US News rankings, which would increase applicants and enrollment by a non-zero amount over a long period of time. Compare that to hiring Helfrich/Taggart/Cristobal/ and getting up and down results. Most schools pay millions to get a coach, get less than desired, and end up hiring another coach while continuing to pay off the previous one or two. Even “sure fire” coaches like Harbaugh have had sub-par results at $7 million a year. If Michigan had invested in a future Nobel winner like Jennifer Doudna instead they’d have the licensing rights to a billion dollar genome editing innovation.

        • honest Uncle Bernie 10/25/2019

          Anonymous — Nobel prizes (UO has one current winner on the faculty) may or may not put “butts in seats.” But they assuredly will pull in more good students. I would wager more money too, in the long run. Maybe the money has to come first. I’m sure it’s a self-reinforcing loop.

          Science Duck — I don’t see what the coaches have to do with it. As long as Phil Knight and the fans and the TV are willing to pay for it. If Phil withdrew all his money from athletics, do you think that would free up money for academics? On the contrary, UO would be subsidizing athletics (or subsidizing it more heavily, much more) than at present.

          I would be thrilled to have more Nobelists here, either hired from other places, or home grown. Unfortunately, the people with the money to make it happen don’t seem to have that as a high priority, at least not at present. I wonder why that is?

          • ScienceDuck 10/25/2019

            I think we are living in a world where we have bought into that idea–Phil pays for it, so there is no possible better world. I totally agree we are lucky at Oregon. Can you imagine talking about tuition where the explicit athletic subsidy is $5 million, $10 million or even $40 million? At Delaware the subsidy to athletics is $2,000 per enrolled student. 50 of the 230 schools listed https://sports.usatoday.com/ncaa/finances/ pay more than $20 million a year. My point is not wishful thinking that if Phil was told “no more athletics donations” he would re-double his already excellent academic donations. It is that why do we accept a world where the first priority is paying coaches? If schools agreed on reducing subsidies, or god forbid requiring that a percentage of earnings would go to the academic part of the university, then there would still be a market price for coaches, just lower.

            We are lucky at Oregon. But if the Red Queen race continues (after all, now everyone has fancy inlaid wood lockers and hologram uniform changing rooms, so millions will have to be spent on things of even less marginal utility to stand out) will those resources always be there to keep up without a subsidy? Could Oregon turn into a Delaware under the wrong circumstances? I’d like to think not, but somehow dozens of schools ended up meekly paying a bundle without a peep.

          • Anonymous 10/25/2019

            the current nobelist is 74 years old and essentially inactive
            there is currently little evidence that his presence has enhanced
            anything – hell the Knight Campus could use him as a general consultant, for instance, but clearly, that insular club knows exactly what is best.

          • Anon 10/26/2019

            Nobel prize winners are simply too scarce to be the currency of choice. But UO could pay more attention to hiring [ or growing] folks with what the National Research Council deems ‘highly prestigious honors’. UO does a little of this [ eg, it boasts about NAS, NAE, NAM and AAA&S members], but not nearly enough and not as much as other AAU schools. And it does not treat these folks nearly as well as big grant getters [ I checked a few salaries]. UO needs a culture of excellence in this sense to attract these sort of folks to campus , and keep them; yrs ago UO had 3 MacArthur Fellows in Biology; 2 went elsewhere.

  2. DTL 10/24/2019

    Geez, car stipends for the total $210,000 (modulo typo). Altman gets a $6K car stipend? Nice!

    OK, $210,000 car stipends for athletics… Let’s add ALL the car stipends for EVERYONE on campus.

    Lowest paid, GE & Classified, get targeted for crap/no COLA’s, more gouging for health insurance, stagnant wages for 27% topped out classified, while admin and athletics get nice COLA’s, fabulous raises, freaking car stipends that are more than three months’ entire salary for peons.

    Geez.

  3. Inquiring Minds 10/24/2019

    Generally I wouldn’t get too agitated by car stipends. I would assume/hope that the stipends are in lieu of the $.58/mile federal reimbursement for mileage, and for people that travel a lot, its probably cost neutral.

  4. XDH 10/24/2019

    It would be interesting to see the comparison of athletics to the UO’s Knight Campus pet project hires. I bet most of them are a 0.05-0.15 Dana Altman/Mario Cristobal….

  5. Anonymous 10/25/2019

    why doesn’t phillips just double is salary by also being the baseball coach. I mean its the same job, your just moving pieces around on a playing field …

    • Fishwrapper 10/25/2019

      Don’t be ridiculous. Being a good baseball coach is nowhere near as easy as being a good provost.

  6. Canard 10/25/2019

    When similar arguments were being made years ago, a former president said that while his personal inclination would be to spend less on athletics, that just isn’t how the world works; if you object to the football coach’s salary, your problem isn’t with the UO, it’s with American society. Big-time college athletics is a business in a market-based economy, and that’s what you pay to get the talent so you can be competitive.

    I agreed that this was the sad reality for the revenue-generating sports of football and basketball and a few others, but did we need to be competitive in the more obscure, money-losing sports that have few supporters? Could we really argue that the golf program brings in all those out of state undergrad fans paying full tuition? My personal benchmark has always been the Assistant Volleyball Coach’s salary. And I’m happy to note that for the first time ever, through decades of shear perseverance, my salary has finally surpassed that level. I can now contentedly contemplate my retirement, basking in having achieved this milestone.

      This apparently is a common conclusion among former Univ presidents . Somewhere on the web is a discussion by 4 former presidents of the lessons they learned: # 1 appears to be the high importance of intercollegiate athletics. maybe not the Univ of Chicago, and a few others but yes, state schools.

      My guess is we’d get more out of state students aggressively funding club teams students can join that feature the outdoors.

      Cut sports no one watches and focus on

      1. Outdoor club
      2. MTB club
      3. Track clubs
      4. Other arts
      5. E-sports (video games)

      Let them major in econ, business, data science.

      Create new majors in digital media (go pro editing), get outdoors, etc, places they spend their time anyways,

      If we’re going to be a “country club” for rich out of state students, lets be a club for the people writing the checks.

    Herb Yamamaka is making $150k/yr. He’s got to be 80+ years old. What does he do for that salary?
