HOW DO UH COACHES RATE HIGH SALARIES?
The athletics at UH are really minor league even though the university is in the NCAA Division I. I cannot understand why the coaches rate such high salaries when the attendance and revenue at the games do not even come close to paying their salaries. Coach June Jones at over a million a year with gratuities. Now athletic director Herman Frazier and basketball coach Riley Wallace getting an increase to $250,000 a year is not reality. I pay taxes in Hawai’i and I certainly do not appreciate my tax money going to these coaches. Evidently, a lot of other Hawai’i residents feel the same based on the attendance at the games. I do not think the football team has reached over 40,000 attendance in any of its games. Now coach Jones will host USC and lose by another lopsided score. Let’s spend more money in the classrooms, which is the purpose of a university. Hawai’i would be better off without any sports if it has to pay such outrageous salaries to the administrators.
