Just wondering, why is it okay to reveal these guys salaries in the press. In a normal business it is not right to do. Just curious as to why fans believe they have a need or a right to know. Would we like our salaries revealed in the media. I was always taught that it is rude to ask someone what their income is. Just funny how we, me included, think we should have the right to know these guys income.
The public has a right to know the salary of ANYONE who is a public employee and/or paid with tax dollars. And, as coaches at public universities, these guys qualify.
Salaries should never be a secret to those who hold their institutions accountable. In a corporation, the stockholders have a right to know. In a cooperative, the members have a right to know. And in a public institution, it is us -- the taxpayers -- who hold them accountable, and we have a right to know.
