Actually, this is not true. There are a variety of different faculty salary scales for business, engineering, health sciences, etc. Beyond that, any faculty that is valued by his or her department chair and has been recruited by another top flight university will have received a healthy salary bump as part of their retention package.

I stand corrected - though the difference between a step 9 full in those departments and the rest is fairly minimal. Again, as I said and you did too, others are paid "off scale" for a variety of reasons.

...you mean, that given the current forecast for this season you expect Cal to pull in a sigificant number of Big time recruits lke other Big time programs? ...I have to disagree ....looking at the current state of recruiting is giving me a pretty good idea of things to come.......

How is he a "sloppy" writer? Just curious what you consider sloppy.

The article reads like one of our post-loss rants, for one thing.

Roy Williams gets $500k. Tedford gets 3 times what Roy Williams does? We are told Nike pays most of Tedford's salary, yet I can find no source other than this board and the golden blogs which seem to just repeat "what is commonly known." Is this a lie that has been told so many times it is now accepted as fact?

From coacheshotseat.com here's a PDF of Tedford's contract, both the initial deal and the revised one. His salary is $225k, plus $1.575 million "talent fee" (nominally for attending various speaking engagements throughout the year) plus deferred compensation of around $500k per year which was initially termed a "retention bonus". (I think the $2.8 mil/year figure comes from averaging out the signing bonus and a couple of other 'retention bonus' payments.) Looks like he also got a nice bonus related to stadium construction -- $250k when the SHPC opened and $250k for the Nevada loss, the first home game in the renovated stadium.

The PDF also includes the addendum related to his outside income, but only for 2007 and 2008; in those years he apparently only got around $12k total for apparel deals. FWIW, Saban's contract is similar -- small salary, huge "talent fee", big triennial retention bonuses, and in 2009 $0 in outside income from endorsements or apparel deals.

None of which answers your question about Nike, but there you go.

Yeah the university pays him roughly the equivalent of a tenured professor. Same w UCLA.

The University is on contract to pay him about ten times that of a tenured professor; they just classify a small percentage of it as "salary".
