For the "we don't pay Brownell enough"drum-beaters...


Feb 13, 2017, 6:48 AM

Let this sink in.....Monte Lee makes somewhere around $750 -$800 Thousand and he manages more players and plus plays more games. I think Coach Brownell makes north of $1.5 million.

Apples & Oranges


Feb 13, 2017, 7:03 AM

Basketball is a revenue producing sport for the athletic department so of course they are going to be able to pay that coach more than the baseball program.

A more relevant comparison is Brownell vs the rest of the ACC where he sits in the bottom tier.

This article is from a few years ago but the message remains:

I think that the NCAA basketball tournament is the largest single money producing event in amateur sports.

Not a surprise that basketball coaches are paid more than baseball coaches.

That's a little bit of "apples and oranges" too because


Feb 13, 2017, 9:52 AM

the tournament isn't a true "single" event. There are 60+ games in the tourney. That's two years worth of regular season games.

Coach K makes 7 mil? That's freaking nuts . As far as Brownell it looks like we're getting about what we're paying for

Re: Dayum


Feb 13, 2017, 8:31 AM

Coach K has earned that money. BB is getting paid what coaches that make the tourney every year are getting.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

As an apt comparison, I think you need to look at FSU


Feb 13, 2017, 8:59 AM [ in reply to Dayum ]

They are a football first school like us, yet have decided to invest in a quality coach, pay him an ample wage, and are reaping the benefits. They may not be close to winning the NCAA just yet but they are consistently in the top-25, relevant in the ACC & ACC tourney, and are getting good recruits in a non-traditional basketball state.

It's time to pony up or just be content to sit in the bottom of the pack, year in year out.

He made the same as what BB made until his team won an ACC championship and he got a raise. You have to earn money. That man built a program and the started paying him it was not the other way around.

I have never heard or read anyone...

say that CBB isn't paid enough. Huh?

Best Is The Standard


Re: For the "we don't pay Brownell enough"drum-beaters...


Feb 13, 2017, 8:25 AM

BB makes more than Xavier's head coach who beat us. More than Gonzaga's head coach who has his team #1 in the nation. More than Notre Dame's head coach who beat us.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Wish we had Xavier and Gonzaga's schedules.***

You think we would be undefeated if we had Zaga's schedule? They have beaten Florida, Zona, Iowa State, Tennessee, and Saint Mary's twice. Now we would have a better record but we would most likely not be 26-0. Also Xavier beat us at a neutral site.

Feb 13, 2017, 9:33 AM [ in reply to Wish we had Xavier and Gonzaga's schedules.*** ]

I know we have a top 10 SOS so I understand what you are saying. We play in the best basketball conference in the NCAA but BB is getting paid enough to be winning more than he is right now.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

We pay him more than enough to make the NCAA Tournament.


Feb 13, 2017, 9:27 AM

We aren't getting our money's worth. Not even close. We would gladly pay more for the right coach. He's not deserving of the money he makes currently, which is only going up next year.

When compared to the coaches who actually took their teams to The Tournament last year, he is the 26th-27th highest paid.

To be fair, 4 of the coaches ahead of him are already in the CBB HOF.

Go Tigers!

Monte Lee does NOT make 750-800k per year


Feb 13, 2017, 12:05 PM

With BB camps included, around $350 k.
