Oh Lawd – this is going to be fun.
Dude needs to go back to coaching or just retire. I get it, this was his dream or whatever, but it didn’t work out. No shame in calling it quits when you know you are outside of your wheelhouse, should’ve done it sooner is all.
The average professor at the University makes $99,800 a year. Why in the world do you have to pay a retiring, mediocre AD $925,000 a year for four years for a superfluous position that was obviously created just for him. Will the funds for his salary come out of the athletic department budget or the University’s general fund?
I agree with your comments on AD’s and how they are paid, but you are wrong about average USC professor pay. The number you are citing is one that is diluted by the number of adjunct, part-time, and non-tenured professors. The full- time tenured professors, especially the non-fine arts ones, consistently make over 200k from just the university alone, and that doesn’t count all of the extra compensation they are allowed to receive from federal and state research grants, royalties from patents (derived from state-funded labs and projects), nonprofit grants, publishing and speaking fees, etc. When you add that all up, there are ALOT of USC professors hauling in a 300k+ total compensation package. They are very careful to obfuscate that information – there are legislators and statewide elected officials who have attempted to get the “full picture” information and it took enduring 2-3 years of foot-dragging by the colleges and universities to obtain it.
