I am glad that we also have our priorities in order.
Along the same lines, I caught a news blurb about the highest paid state drones here in SC.
The head coach pulls a million dollars and change just in salary. No endorsements. There was a professor a few hundred grand behind and then some CTO. Nice to know sports trumps everything else.
If the exorbitant coaching salary is funded by alumni and private money, it matters not to me. However I resent my confiscated tax money going to over paid, over hyped, parasites who tell others what to do with oblong inflatable objects. That is my rant for the week.
What about oblong, slighted not inflated to rule-based specification objects?
J/K!
I work at Auburn University. It is the same here. We do have some of the finest engineering and agriculture professors, many who have created some very innovative and wonderful products, designs, etc., to the benefit of all mankind, but they make a pittance compared to Gene Chizik.
