"Barbour's compensation package is about double that of her predecessor... Barbour will make a base salary of $700,000 and will receive a yearly retention bonus of $100,000. She also has a $100,000-a-year payout for meeting performance goals based on graduation rates, post-season appearances and more."

My Comments About The Article AboveTwo words... "Economic Inequality". No one will ever convince me anyone is worth $13,500+ a week (in the private sector or otherwise). Under the rules of sanity if someone were to try and justify this kind of salary their only argument could be such a person brings in more money then they take out. Does the position of 'athletic director' do that?
