ESPN ranks CBB jobs

Take it for what it's worth. (probably not much, but is interesting discussion none the less)

Missouri Valley: Wichita State got first-place votes from Fran Fraschilla and Jason King, who know the conference well, but the rest of the panel went for Creighton, which has the same loyal and large fan base but more success on the court than WSU over the past 15 years. Easily the top two jobs in the Valley, though. No question. Evidence? Five different schools received third-place votes (UNI, Illinois State, Missouri State, Southern Illinois, Bradley). Complete toss-up.

The Best
1. Creighton
2. Wichita State
3. Northern Iowa

The Worst
8. Indiana State
9. Evansville
10. Drake

Iowa state was ranked 8th out of 10 in the Big 12, and Iowa was ranked 9th out of 12 in the Big Ten.

Re: ESPN ranks CBB jobs

There is a massive division between the top 7 and the bottom 3, IMO...

Though with the new Arena, UE could start to close that gap...

Imagine if this poll was taken 10-12 years ago. We would have been a unanimous #10...

and drake would have been #9, and people would have referenced the fact the we both compete in a small state with 2 other BCS schools nearby.

it makes our success that much more awesome.

Is Coach Jake the 3rd highest paid coach in the Valley right now? I was just thinking about it, and I think that it may in fact be true at the moment, which is incredibly impressive, especially considering the top 2 paid coaches make over $1 million.

Re: ESPN ranks CBB jobs

I believe he is 4th. Which is still very impressive.

Bradley is private and doesn't have to disclose salaries, but Geno Ford is said to make $750k.

Re: ESPN ranks CBB jobs

I have a very hard time believing Bradley can pay anyone that much money right now, let alone a first year guy. Didn't they have trouble paying Jim Les' buyout when they canned him?

Edit: Just did a quick search and found this.--http://www.pjstar.com/news/tricounty...cutives?zc_p=1

Bradley men's basketball coach Jim Les was the second-highest paid employee, earning $442,534 in total compensation in 2008-09. Of that, $386,577 made up his base salary.

If they were only paying Les (beloved alum and former player, not to mention) that much after making the Sweet 16, you can bet that Geno Ford isn't even approaching that.

Re: ESPN ranks CBB jobs

Its supposedly being paid privately, a lot like Jake's deal.

Re: ESPN ranks CBB jobs

fwiw, after a quick Google search Lusk at MSU is making 400K, Barry Hinson at SIU is making 250K, and Muller at Illinois State is making 375K.

Re: ESPN ranks CBB jobs

Jake should be at $525k this year, right??

Re: ESPN ranks CBB jobs

I believe the first year of his new contract was 2010-11, with a base of $450K, with annual increase of $25K each year, which would put him at a $500K base salary for this coming season.

Well, acutally $600K if you count his $100K bonus that he will receive after we make it to the final four next year.
