Dana in the Oregonian in 2014, after the killings of Michael Brown and Eric Garner: 12/10/2014: Coach Dana Altman thinks National Anthem is the wrong time to protest racism Our fool of a basketball coach thinks he owns those players. They shouldn’t protest when he’s trying to collect his $2M paycheck,…

4/30/2020 update: A few hours after this post, the Duck’s strategic communicators responded: In light of the ongoing challenges created by the COVID-19 pandemic, all University of Oregon head coaches have voluntarily agreed to take a 10 percent salary reduction for the 2020-21 academic year … Additionally, all UO head…
The Duck’s Dana Altman now makes more than 3x as much as OSU’s basketball coach. John Canzano has the news on the 7% cut here. Details on Altman’s most recent raise, which Pres Schill and our Trustees gave him during the 2019 budget crisis, is here. A snippet. This is…
Mighty generous of President Schill, spending other people’s money. Altman’s multi-million dollar contract is here. It seems GC Kevin Reed forgot to include a Force Majeure clause. You can’t make this shit up: Meanwhile, But then when have Duck coaches ever sacrificed anything? From this year’s State Employees Charitable Fund…
He’s losing out to something called Tool, a South African comedian, a Circus, and Women’s BB. Still ahead of Acrobatics and Tumbling though!
Say it ain’t so! The Daily Emerald’s Michael Tobin reports that UO General Counsel Reed is not investigating, but he is interested in going to LA to meet Michael Avenatti and receive more information from him. But not to investigate. UNLV is investigating, but Reed is just probing the situation.…
Which is good, because someone should pay college basketball players, and apparently Dana Altman refuses to give them a cut of his bloated salary and bonuses. Jeff Manning and Brad Schmidt have the story in the Oregonian here: Earlier this week, Avenatti accused Nike of paying “large sums” to Bol,…
Just kidding, of course they won’t meet about that. This is about our greedy basketball coaches. Two days after President Schill announced that UO is facing an $11M budget crisis which will likely lead to layoffs for instructors and OAs, our Board’s executive committee will be phoning it in on…
$3.5M in salary plus bonuses for 2021-2. Talk about bad timing. UO’s lobbyists are at work in Salem, trying to get UO a bigger share of the state budget. If they fail, UO will have to cut staff, limit hiring, and/or raise in-state tuition. The legislature is already asking why…
With basketball and event revenue running less than a third of Pat Kilkenny’s liars budget, the Ducks now want a liquor license for Knight Arena, because drunk football fans are just not enough: But hey, maybe the OLCC will do a better job protecting free speech than UO’s General Counsel…
Altman’s original contract with UO paid him a bonus if ticket sales went above $4M. He failed, so AD Rob Mullens just rolled this into his base pay, then gave him another raise, then in 2017 still more. Last year Altman brought in $2.6M in ticket sales but cost $2.8M…

This guy always looks so angry. You’d think he’s trying to get appointed to the Supreme Court. At least this time it’s not about his unpaid student-athletes protesting for #blacklivesmatter. The Oregonian has the latest info on the University of Oregon’s second highest paid employee: By Brad Schmidt and Jeff Manning |…
Finally! I for one have been disturbed by the fact that he hasn’t come up in this investigation earlier. Surely a successful recruiter and coach like Dana Altman has figured out a way to pass at least a dribble of the millions UO pays him on to his volunteer “student-athletes”.…
Just kidding. I’m sure Coach Altman is 100% behind Colin Kaepernick’s use of free speech and athletics to bring attention to racism in America, now that the big money is too. Of course a few years ago Altman’s views were a little different. From the Oregonian:
