I think it is a bit north of $250,000. plus the usual benefits (for a coach, that is)

I think it is at least 300K. IIRC, he pretty much doubled his salary after last season.

i thought it was only 150k. if he is making $300k, it would definitely be possible for him to hold out a heck of a lot longer.

Here is a link to the register database. It lists his annual salary at 189k, but his july salary at 289k. It's not clear, but I wonder if the 189 is what he gets from the school and the other 100 is from the other sources.

The July Salary is his budgeted salary for the current fiscal year (July 09-June 10) and annual salary is his salary during the 2008 calendar year. So, his salary took a big jump from the last fiscal year to the current fiscal year.

There would have to be a huge upswing in revenue generated by the Men's Basketball team this year. Can Dannen use that trend as an excuse to again bump up Jake's salary, despite the overall budget gap in athletics? I think a case can be made that continued stability and success in Men's Basketball is the only way to achieve long term financial heath in our athletic department.

I'm not so sure about that. Has there been a significant increase in attendance this season? Have ticket prices gone up quite a bit? I know we have been on ESPNU and ESPN2 more than last year but doesn't that go to the conference?

I think there has been a significant increase in attendance. That, and a new TV contract *should* have lead to increased revenue. It would be interesting to see the numbers.

The Learfield contract has increased revenue substantially.

It's going to have to be more than a few hundred a game to make a dent. And let's not kid ourselves, up until recently, there have been a lot of games that haven't been well attended.

The Learfield contract has increased revenue substantially.

Good point. I forgot about that. Perhaps that will help things out.

According to this article, there has been an increase in attendance this year from 4212 to 5511. That is 31%, and it should increase even more after Saturday. That has to mean a significant revenue increase, no?

I would think all the publicity would not only effect the basketball team but the whole university in general. How many more kids will choose to go to UNI because they see the awesome student section and think that looks like fun. How many more kids want to be a fan of UNI and wear UNI clothing who will eventually choose us over UI or ISU. I doubt you can actually count all the ways a season like this will help financially.
My son wants to now go to UNI and become a basketball manager - who knew???

Very interesting.

This quote goes against what a few people on here have long since argued;

• Admissions inquiries increased 350 percent.

• Out-of-state applications increased 40 percent and out-of-state students now make up 25 percent of the freshman class.
