Add UofSC to the list.
The University of South Carolina will be cutting the salary of top administrators and sports coaches to brace for a difficult year ahead.
President Robert Caslen, members of his cabinet and the three highest paid coaches will all take a 10% pay cut for the 2020-2021 school year, the university announced Tuesday.
“The global health crisis will continue to have a significant impact on the university, and I applaud our university officials and coaches for their willingness to personally contribute to our institution’s financial health,” Caslen said.

Given the high salaries these administrators and coaches make, 10% is nothing. If I'm making $4-5 million, I'd have a hard time spending that much. 10% is a drop in the bucket.

AMEN brother. How about when a coach gets FIRED and gets a $7 MILLION dollar buyout. Let me get this straight.. he won the lottery for failing at his job?? And they say coaching is a high-pressure job. Where can I sign up to get millions for failing . Seriously. I'll take 'failure for 5 Million' Alex. And it takes 3 years to get fired. Example, Mike Young from Woff just got 2 or 3 million to coach VT. If he makes it 4 years he has 9 million dollars in earnings just over the past 4 years and there may be a multi-million dollar buyout if he fails !! (I don't know about that one on the buyout but I know he is getting 2million dollars or so

It is pretty clear from Jason's interview on Sportstalk that if we don't have a normal football and basketball season, college sports nationwide may be done as we know it.

At least on the surface it looks like ECU got it right. FU did not. I know there are differences in the 2.

Agreed no cuts are good. There may be and prolly are more cuts to come. So far of the 350+ D1 schools only a very few have found it necessary to go the chopping block route.

Right now the apaladin of ECU is apoplectic over the fact that “we cut SIX sports and Furman, 1/10th our size and PRIVATE, only cut TWO!”

Not to let facts get in the way but ECU cut 4 sports. TheIr move affected 68 athletes and FU affected 91 athletes.

If a school wants to negotiate that into a contract then it is fine. Both of our FBS big boys in SC have had to pay. Coaches no longer wanted also get creative by accepting other jobs . The staff at SCSU had 2 SEC coaches on it a few years ago. These guys got paid an FCS level salary but collected their $350k salary because the agreement did not include FCS schools. This is also why many guys take an analyst job for a year. Coaches are no different than any other job.
