Athletic director takes the Gator bait

by Michele Hriciso

Three national championships in two years have helped secure the future for Florida’s athletic director.

The news broke on Friday that Jeremy Foley has agreed to an 11-year contract that will pay him up to $1.2 million each year, making him the highest-paid college athletic director. It also guarantees that the 54-year-old athletic director, who hired championship-winning coaches Billy Donovan and Urban Meyer, will be able to stay in Gainesville until retirement age.

Not too shabby for a guy who started out as an intern in the ticket office.

It seems weird to me that the athletic director would make less money than coaches do, since he is technically the boss of them. Isn’t the boss supposed to make more money than his employees? Guess I’ve been working in the civil service world too long.
