Message: [QUOTE="SUDadx2, post: 4794452, member: 8174"] It seems flawed to compare the salary and resources for today's HC to the salary and resources of past SU HC's. Other than men's basketball, tell me where the current HC at Syracuse isn't making more than his or her predecessor or who doesn't have better recourses than their predecessor? Wouldn't it be fairer to compare these things against other programs in the conference? We aren't in the Big East any longer. We are in the ACC. HC salary? Assistant coaches' salary pool? Facilities? Recruiting budget and resources? Tell me how the SU football program compares to other ACC football programs in these areas. Head coach Salary [LIST=1] [*] Clemson, $10.8 million [*] Miami, $8 million [*] Florida State, $7.3 million [*] Pitt, $5.8 million [*] Louisville, $5.55 million [*] NC State, $5.024 million [*] UNC, $5 million [*] Wake, $4.284 million [*] Virginia, $4.250 million [*][B][B] Syracuse, $4.053 million (46th in the country)[/B][/B] [*] Va Tech, $4 million [*] Duke, $3.5 million [*] BC, $3.12 million [*] Ga Tech, $2.8 million [/LIST] [URL unfurl="true"]https://sports.usatoday.com/ncaa/salaries/football/coach[/URL] [B]How much money does Coach Babers have to hire assistants? [/B] Some ACC schools are paying their assistants very well. Miami, $7.7 million pool Georgia Tech, $7.5 million pool Clemson. $7.475 million pool Florida State, $5.9 million pool UNC, $5.9 million pool NC State, $5.4 million pool Va Tech, $5.3 million pool Virginia, $4.4 million pool Louisville, $4.4 million pool I don't know what Syracuse pays their assistants, but I doubt we are in the top half of the conference (more than $5 million). This article is from 2019, but I doubt it has changed much in the last four years.

[B]What is our recruiting budget? [/B]Again, I would be surprised if we were in the top half of the conference in this area. And Syracuse is not exactly surrounded by talent. We know our recruiting is not in the top half of the conference.

And the elephant in the room is how much NIL $ is available for Syracuse football players? Hey Axe and Leiker, do some research and tell us what you find out. [/QUOTE]
