Hudspeth's pay top in Sun Belt, No. 71 overall

[CajunsHat]

Interesting comment. How much does a college football coach make per hour? Let's assume a college coach works 12 hours a day for 300 days out of the year. If he is paid $1 million per year that is $277.78 dollars per hour. That's not including the other perks of the job.

thats interesting...as well as if he would get paid bi-weekly (base pay only) his checks would be $38,461.54 (before taxes). Facts are FUN! (and slightly depressing when compared with what i make as a nurse )

Viator makes $11.55 per hour plus benefits.

Yea, but those bennies are awesome, he gets all the leftover blowpops and snickers bars from the players' goodie bags.

Looks like Hud is 15th (rough count) in G5. Progressively, looks like the next step up is AAC.

Ahhhh would love the AAC. Could you imagine UCONN in the Cajundome!

Conference upgrade is seriously the only way you get your money's worth from a coach's salary. Fight to get into a better conference to protect the investment. Otherwise you will relapse. You get in a better conference you get more money for just being a member. Less money you have to extract from Joe Fan to survive. More you get from the non - college person to wear UL gear on his person and on his car and talk up UL.
When do our leaders recognize and act? Dr. Authement and Blanco leave but we're still stuck. When does the enlightenment occur?

I am confused in the first sentence it says 1,003,156 an in the 2nd it says 1.3Mill. I am not math major, but 1,003,156 is not equal to 1.3 Million? Am I missing something.
