On the other hand their coach Mario Cristobal gets to top off his $2.5M base salary with a $100K bonus, and an all expense paid family trip. Contract here:
I’ve been saying for years: players need a better contract.
They just aren’t organized enough to get one…
Hey, all I get are shared sacrifices, so don’t expect a lot of pity from me.
We get a half hour hosted bar at the Christmas Party….
And what does UO Matters get, since I’m assuming Bill got an invite b/c he is Senate pres?
I did get an invite. I don’t think this sort of work is covered under the faculty union CBA though, so I’ll have negotiate the compensation myself. $100K seems ballpark.
Of course you should go. Your attendance would be a stark illustration of how easy and cheap it is for the administration to buy off the Senate President. The administration has for years used free bowl game trips and visits to the President’s Box at Autzen as tools to manipulate and control Senate Presidents (and in years past, Senate VPs).
$200K then?
I’d go if I were you. Santa Clara is a dynamic urban center.
