Contract for Coach Walz

My wife told me $1.7 million. Up from $1.5 mil. Not bad from an athletic dept that loses money like a bad gambler...
 
Do I understand he is making less than $2 mill with the new extension??
I really thought he was making more money, and have to say I believe he's being underpaid. I'm sorry there is a disparity in pay between men and women' s coaches.
 
I see Geno Auriemma makes 1.95 million a year. So, in comparison he makes an appropriate income to his peers.
 
The “administration” language in his contract is interesting. Walz has said he’s not going to coach into his 60s. I want to see if he lives up to that…
 
I agree the coaching disparity between the men’s and women’s coaches is out of balance. So is the pay and the exposure for women sports. However CJW is one of the top 10 paid coaches in women’s college basketball.
