Miami fans, UM has a $60M budget, but did not say how much the AD gets paid. It also seems that GB is vastly underpaid on a national scale. If the average AD gets, $320K nationwide and $400K in the SEC, there is plenty of room to justify raises for GB.

The size of our athletic budget is laughable, comparatively speaking. Iowa State has us beat by 10 Mil.! Our Budget is 37% this size of TN. We could combine with Miss., and still have the 7th highest budget in the SEC.

 

[cowbellpresident]

I'm fairly certain that Greg Byrne is paid $175k from the state of Mississippi. He is also given another $175k from the Foundation. That would put him at $350 and middle of the pack

 

[cowbellpresident]

The more I think about it - he would be making significantly less than several assistant football coaches. There no way that is correct.

 

[The Byrne Center]

Has him listed as only making 175, but with no funds from the foundation.

which was a shade above 300K.
