Wichita State to the American Athletic Conference?

We are probably in 5th behind ORU, SDSU, USD and Denver. Likely much closer to the 6th highest paid coach.

That said I'm not sure Richman has done enough to warrant a massive raise.

6th highest paid coach in the conference and has had the 2nd most, arguably the most success. Then again NDSU couldn't afford to pay more. Can't even afford to keep our football coaches salary competitive.

Klieman is pretty much at the top of the FCS, so is his staff. They are in a pretty good place.

I think if Saul had stayed he would be in the $300k range by now, I think GT was ready to give him a nice raise. Dave got what Saul was making, which was more than fair for a coach that had zero HC experience. If he has another good year next year, he will probably get a bump.

Kliemann is 3rd in the conference behind Northern Iowa and Illinois State, but those 2 schools have significant more money in all sports. But he is at least in the top 10 in base salary.

He makes the same as Spack base but I'm not if sure Spack's bonuses are nearly as generous.

Rumor is at north of $300k. NDSU athletic department clearly needs to get with the times.

Rumor is not accurate, it is south of $300,000, three year deal at $275,000 annually.

So do the Redbirds and Panthers stick around or use it as a time to try and jump to the MAC. It would get them to FBS and solidify them to a more stable conference and away from a conference in major flux on the non football side. The million or millions of dollar question is could they find the cash if the opportunity presented itself to them.

I don't think uni or issue have the bankroll to move to the Mac.

Although you can be sure that if another Loyola* is added theyll be working hard to get off the sinking ship.


Did you know that Loyola used to be really good and is in Chicago!

With incentives Klieman makes closer to a half million. (he gets like 90k just for media speaking) And it's in Kliemans contract that our assistant coaches must be paid in the top ten percent of the nation.

Guarantee Spack doesn't get almost a hundred grand for media speaking since he doesn't have an actual TV show on a major network or a weekly radio show on a top station in the state.

I don't know if this is rumor or what but I remember the story at UNI being the coaching salaries are very top heavy. They pay Farley a ton and his assistants make crap.
