This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Post being replied to

Here is a thread from last fall (link) by Father Nieuwland

My post in that thread includes this from the Chicago Tribune (as repeated in the Sporting News)

The Chicago Tribune reported last year that Weis earned $649,000, including base salary, bonuses, "other" income, deferred income and non-taxable benefits.

The Tribune said Weis earned $850,000 from Adidas and about $1.3 million for media appearances and other compensation from Play By Play Sports.

When Weis was no longer coach, ND had to actually pay the full amounts (which is why Weis showed up on the highest salaried ND employee lists after he was fired, but not while he was head coach), as adidas was not going to funnel money to both Weis and Kelly.

Play By Play Sports (also known as Notre Dame Sports Properties) does the ND coach shows for Kelly, Brey, etc. Their website is www.pbpsports.net
