We know about these things, but it’s worth reminding ourselves in the face of other, often fake news…
Of course, I’m overlooking recent U of L Olympians and world record holders because the list is almost too much to keep track of and compile. Nice problem to have.
If you think we have staff members that are overpaid, your argument is gonna be tough… Find me another athletic department nationally that delivers comparable results, and show me what the AD and his/her staff are paid. Let’s calculate the difference between their U of L counterparts and debate hard data--not data that you, slapd!cks, and/or some journalist looking for a hot take don’t like.
Hell yes, these people are paid a lotta money, like anyone else in this world who delivers extraordinary results. They're worth every penny...
- Omaha, for the 3rd time in five years
- The highest MLB draft pick in history. (And in Drew Ellis, the 5th highest...)
- Our first Heisman Trophy winner.
- Another football stadium expansion and a baseball stadium expansion in the offing, adding to a portfolio of the best collegiate facilities around.
- And a stat I saw posted elsewhere… Since 2014, the most first round draft picks (13) in the NFL, NBA, MLB, and MLS in the country. Second high are UNC, UCLA, and tOSU, each with 11.
