Bang for Your Buck

A CNBC piece under the headline "Colleges That Bring the Highest Paychceck 2011" lists Dartmouth No. 3 nationally with a mid-career median salary of $123,000 and starting median salary of $54,100.

From a New York Times story in advance of last week's Patriot League vote on football scholarships:
“The Patriot League Presidents have been carefully evaluating the various approaches to football financial aid,” the league’s executive director, Carolyn Schlie Femovich, said in an e-mail statement. “They will continue to discuss the topic at their upcoming meeting. The Patriot League will not comment any further until a decision has been reached by the Presidents.”
Am I the only one who finds if funny that when the discussion was tabled for two years – meaning a decision still hasn't been reached – the conference was as good as its word? Here's terse the final line from the Patriot League press release announcing the decision to, um, not make a decision:
There will be no further comment from the Patriot League on this matter.

Speaking of the Patriot League, HudsonValley.com lists Dave Roach, the former Brown athletic director and current AD at Colgate as one of the finalists to become athletic director at Army.

Do you think some of the assistants at UNH who worked with Oregon coach Chip Kelly when he was on the Wildcats' staff wish they'd tagged along with him? They probably do after reading this about Kelly's assistants from USA Today (thanks for the link):
They've already assured themselves of an additional $1.18 million in performance bonuses — an average of $131,500 — for hitting TV-appearance, win-total and other benchmarks, including reaching the Jan. 10 Bowl Championship Series title game.
