Was their promise to field a baseball team just shrugged off?

Think so -

I wonder what our % of administrative cost is considering our AD's and the Asst AD's salary level

Pretty sure our AD is trying to supplement his top assistant's salary with bonuses from ticket sales. Not sure how that is working out for them.

Whatever it is we know it's going up. What kind of leader gives himself a $23,000 raise and 5-year extension when he can't generate the money to fund full cost of attendance for our student-athletes or to upgrade video production to ESPN3 standards as required by C-USA? McClelland's raise over that extension would've been able to fund full COA for our football team for a year.

How much is the Full Cost of Attendance? How many athletes do we have per team?

most athletic departments would put that number out there for everybody to see. 1. An NSU grad doesn't know how to display the numbers. 2. An NSU guy doesn't know how to calculate the numbers. 3. His top hand is a middle Tennessee grad.

Full COA is different for each school. For Tech, full COA is $3,429.

This year Conference USA gave each member institution $225,000 to help cover COA, and C-USA will do the same again next year. That's $450,000 from C-USA over 2 years to help fund COA stipends.

This year McClelland decided to offer only a partial COA stipend of $2,000 to 4 sports (football, MBB, WBB, volleyball) and nothing to our other 12 sports. With scholarship limits of 85 for football, 13 for MBB, 15 for WBB, and 12 for volleyball, McClelland allocated for 125 partial COA stipends this year, which sums to $250,000.

With $225,000 from C-USA, that means McClelland only came up with $25,000 for COA stipends this year. In reality, that $25,000 is likely a little inflated because I doubt all 4 sports filled the maximum number of scholarships.

Counting all 16 sports, Tech can offer a max of 210.8 scholarships, which would've required a total of $722,833.20 to fully fund full COA stipends this year. Accounting for the $225,000 supplement from C-USA, fully funding COA stipends would've required McClelland to come up with $497,833.20, but he didn't even though Arkansas served it to him on a platter by moving our game from Little Rock. He made sure he got a raise, though.

I am no fan of TMAC. I am on record from day one of being against this hire. He's NOT qualified to be Tech's AD, and he keeps proving that on an continuous basis. BUT!!

you can't blame the raise in salary on him. No one can give themself a raise. And, it has to be approved by the BOR too.

That is on your boy Les Guice, who everyone on this forum lauded as "getting it." As opposed to DR, who was the biggest imbecile in history (according to some).

Thank you for that information!

Yep, the worst managers are the ones that pay themselves before taking care of their people. He could turn the raise down and offer that money to the kids/athletes, after all, it's the performance of those kids that pad his resume with wins and championships.
