I don't know if this came up already but as expected it's usually basketball or football coaches with a few college presidents or medical school deans thrown in. Except - New Hampshire where it's the hockey coach. Comments mention "No Hardware".

Nice to see in NYS and Massachusetts it's the med school dean. (Anybody wanted to guess it's a Port Authority cop with overtime?) In NJ, the basketball coach of, what, Rutgers? Either that's the now-dismissed Mike Rice if you include his walkaway pay, or more likely the incoming hoops coach, [www.courierpostonline.com]-

A few years ago I came across something that said the highest paid employee of Cornell was a fertility specialist at the med school who was pulling in over $3 million a year.

But this is what really bothers me.
This revenue rarely makes its way back to the general funds of these universities. Looking at data from 2011-2012, athletic departments at 99 major schools lost an average of $5 million once you take out revenue generated from "student fees" and "university subsidies." If you take out "contributions and donations"—some of which might have gone to the universities had they not been lavished on the athletic departments—this drops to an average loss of $17 million, with just one school (Army) in the black. All this football/basketball revenue is sucked up by coach and AD salaries, by administrative and facility costs, and by the athletic department's non-revenue generating sports; it's not like it's going to microscopes and Bunsen burners.

Here is another one article that kind of addresses this issue of NC$$ Hypocrisy in light of the pending court case brought forth by Ed O'Bannon.
Given the excesses of many college athletic programs, it does make me feel a kind of scummy for having a rooting interest in them. (Not completely though, because I totally root against Univ of Miami teams and don't even own a UM sweatshirt, and no plans to get them for me or my niece/nephew).

... Problem with Eddie Jordan, new coach of the Scarlet Knights, a 1976 Rutgers grad who led the team to the final four. He, ah, doesn't have a Rutgers diploma despite the official announcement saying so.billhoward

Paid by THE SCHOOL? Or by private clients or subsidized by research grants? I can see how a fertility specialist can generate a lot of outside income.nyc94

I think this is the article I read years ago: [www.nytimes.com]
It says the names of the highest paid employees comes from IRS filings which would make me think his paycheck comes from the school which in turn makes me think his patients pay the hospital/school. I assume his practice is not a separate entity. What I don't know is if the medical school and the hospital are considered separate entities, especially since Cornell and Columbia are separate schools sharing one hospital system.

There are all kind of arraingements between medical schools and their "faculty". As far as I know they are tighter at state than private schools. I'd be surprised if Cornell MD profs didn't have a private practice. There are also ways around restraints. Years ago Upstate Med was very tight on outpatient space. A group of MDs bought a shopping center across the street, remodeled it for offices, radiology and surgery center. They charged the practices rent, which they then turned around and paid back to themselves.

It would be wonderful to see this data going back for every year since 1950 or 1900.nyc94
