[Husker] Pelini's Contract

[j j]

Well those guys do get compensated for having a good department. If they dont have a good graduation rate they will be let go. If however they have one of the top departments in the country they will be rewarded for it in salary increase. What do you want Steve? Should the teachers be compensated if someone in their department does well in athletics? They put that in so that students would be reminded that they are there for academics first and sports second. Dont think for a minute that Bo wont be reminded of that if the academic part slips below NU standards.

at UNL are employees getting $125K/year salary incentives for the
academic success of their students?  An outstanding math or chem
teacher?  If academics is the dog and football is the tail, which
is the real priority?  In this, it's football.

(Care to compare the budgets for athletics and engineering or the
salary costs for football and physics?  I think I don't really want
to know.)

"If you're going to put incentives in for winning, then you should balance those with incentives for academic performance."
