Comparison of UI chancellor salaries
The Salary Guide is consistently a top-viewed page on The Daily Illini website. While many views come from the Champaign-Urbana area, it is also viewed in other places around the state and country. We even get views from around the world. It is clear the Salary Guide is demanded by the public, and The Daily Illini will continue to serve this demand.
BY SAMANTHA BOYLE NEWS EDITOR
Why we do this While it is not only fun to look up how much your professor makes, it is much more than the salaries themselves. The Salary Guide is able to keep the University of Illinois transparent. Because the UI system is public, salaries are paid by taxpayers’ dollars, so it’s incredibly important the Illinois public has access to this information. Overall, it is clear the Salary Guide is an incredibly important publication we produce every fall. Here at The Daily Illini, we are proud of the work we produce and are proud to be able to provide the public with this information. The Salary Guide can be found on The Daily Illini’s website.

Lovie Smith comes in at 10th highest-paid Big Ten coach BY JJ KIM ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR
A year in the college football world is like a decade in the normal world. The constant turnstile of the coaching carousel and the continuous changes of a team’s narrative seemingly overnight is a part of what makes the sport so popular. Last year, Illinois football head coach Lovie Smith was tied for the 10th-most-expensive college football contract in the country. His $5 million total salary put him ahead of leaders of blue-blood schools such as Oklahoma’s Lincoln Riley ($4.8 million) and the University of Miami’s Mark Richt ($4.05 million). This year, Smith doesn’t even crack the top-25 in the highest-paid coaches category. With his $4 million total pay this year, Smith is ranked 29th in the country, tied with Louisiana State University’s Ed Orgeron who is currently 9-0, coming off a convincing victory against Alabama in Tuscaloosa and ranked #1 in the country. Smith is the 10th highest-paid coach in the Big Ten, despite only eight conference victories during his tenure as head coach, including an 0-9 conference record in 2017. According to USA Today, the other Big Ten coaches ahead of Smith from highest paid to lowest, include Michigan’s Jim Harbaugh, Purdue’s Jeff Brohm, Penn State’s James Franklin, Northwestern’s Pat Fitzgerald, Nebraska’s Scott Frost, Iowa’s Kirk Ferentz, Ohio State’s Ryan Day, Michigan State’s Mark Dantonio and Wisconsin’s Paul Chryst. Clemson skipper Dabo Swinney overtook Alabama’s Nick Saban this year for the number one spot in total pay, as Swinney will rake in $9.25 million, following three College Football Playoff appearances in four years. Saban is a close second as he will make $8.85 million and Harbaugh rounds out the top three with a total salary of $7.5 million this year. After signing a six-year $21 million contract in 2016, Illinois Director of Athletics Josh Whitman extended Smith’s contract by two years last year, tying him to the Illini through 2023. In addition, Smith’s offensive coordinator, Rod Smith, earned a $200,000 raise, which brings his salary to $700,000 this year. Rod will get an additional $50,000 next year. Faith in Lovie had begun to waver among Illini fans after starting out 9-27 in his first three seasons at the helm. And after a heartbreaking loss to Eastern Michigan early this season that started a four-game losing skid, the heat under Smith’s seat was hotter than ever. But this is college football, and anything can happen, like when the Illini pulled off an upset over the then-ranked No. 6 Wisconsin Badgers as 30.5 point underdogs, marking the Big Ten’s greatest upset since 1982. Illinois football has not lost since the time of this writing, riding

Lovie Smith takes off his hat after the Illni upset the Badgers at Memorial Stadium on Oct. 19. Despite a 0-9 record in his second year at the helm of the University football program, Smith takes in a $4 million salary each year and is signed on with Illinois until 2023.

Change is coming: Paying college athletes BY RACHEL SPENCER ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR
On Sept. 30, California governor Gavin Newsom approved state legislation which prohibits the state’s universities from preventing student-athletes from hiring agents or accepting advertising deals. This landmark legislation arguably marks a pivotal turning point in the “amateurism” of college sports — and challenges the age old question of whether college athletes should be paid. Amateurism has been the name of the game in the NCAA for a long time. The standard is embedded in the organization’s own bylaws, which spend over 30 pages establishing what does — or does not — qualify an individual as an amateur, therefore making them eligible to compete in the NCAA. The general principle of maintaining amateurism in college sports is this: The studentathlete exists as a core member of the student
body and, therefore, must remain an amateur. But as NCAA basketball season lurches into its earliest months, the elephant in the room is without a doubt green. Currently, the NCAA has a $19.6 billion deal with CBS and TNT to stream the Division I men’s basketball championship. This deal spans from 2010-2032, making college basketball one of — if not the most — lucrative businesses for the NCAA. And when considering how many millions of people tune in every March to watch standouts like Zion Williamson or Ja Morant, it’s hard not to wonder how much of that money could (or should) go into their pockets. As 14 states (including Illinois) have begun to consider adopting legislation similar to the one passed in California, even the oncestaunch NCAA has readjusted itself — most recently deciding to allow student-athletes to profit off of their name, image and likeness.
This surprising change was announced Oct. 29, but it remains unclear thus far just what the change will look like when enacted. The NCAA’s three divisions are expected to create their own rules no later than January 2021, outpacing the enactment of California’s “Fair Pay to Play Act” by two years. To put this into an Illinois perspective: When men’s basketball head coach Brad Underwood arrived in Champaign-Urbana in 2017, a sixyear, $18 million contract was on the table. At $3 million a year, Underwood admittedly makes half of what the big names in Division I men’s basketball make — in comparison, legendary Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski makes a little over $7 million a year. But Underwood’s $3 million makes him one of the top-25 highest paid men’s basketball coaches in the nation — and one of seven in the Big Ten conference to land in the top-25
according to USA Today. This certainly isn’t meant to disparage Underwood or any high-paid coach for that matter. Watching coaches at a high level do what they do best is just as entertaining to basketball spectators as an off-hand, betweenthe-legs, rim-rattling slam dunk — sometimes. But millions of people tune in to watch March Madness for those breathtaking, get-on-yourfeet moments of outstanding athleticism — not to watch Michigan State head coach Tom Izzo turn red in the face. Although it’s unclear what the future will look like for college athletes as far as NCAAsanctioned compensation, it is clear change is coming, and change just might look like an Ayo Dosunmu sneaker deal. rachels4@dailyillini.com
