otre Dame's Jack Swarbrick's Salary is Way Higher Than Any Other Athletics Director

Swarbrick's base salary is under $1 million but he earns $2 million in other compensation.

JOE RAYMOND/APNotre Dame athletics director Jack Swarbrick earns more than $3 million annually.

 

 

I can't even imagine the daily demands of Jack Swarbrick's job, but at least the Notre Dame athletics director is getting paid handsomely for his services.

Swarbrick, a Notre Dame graduate, was appointed athletics director in 2008. A decade later, he's believed to be the highest-paid athletics director in the country. According to new data published by USA Today and Athletic Director U, Swarbrick has a base salary of $994,751 but earns $2,056,169 through "other university compensation," bringing his annual compensation to >$3,050,920. Though the data only includes figures for 115 of 130 athletics directors (hence "he's believed to be the highest-paid athletics director"), it's highly unlikely another AD is making more.

None of the other 114 ADs earn more than $1.6 million per year, with Northwestern's Jim Phillips ($1,570,766) and Wisconsin's Barry Alvarez ($1,550,000) coming in second and third, respectively. There are some notable ADs whose compensation was not reported, including Miami 's Blake James, Stanford's Bernard Muir and USC 's Lynn Swann, though none of them are believed to earn anywhere near the $3 million that Swarbrick does.

Here's a look at the 17 ADs earning over $1 million (you can view the full list here😞

The dumb ass was sitting by his 2nd level boss. If he wants to brag about what a red ass he is I'm confident he's got a new understanding of that term today. 

We have engineers & scientists from across the globe in our company. I've seen c-suite employees bust each others balls over where they got their MBA or PhD from in the wings. But to fucking heckle an astronaut? I hope this kid enjoys getting every shit detail assignment imaginable for the next 18 months and the reward of a nice 1.3% raise to boot.

Yet another aggy in the wild embarrassing themselves story:

My company had the honor today of hosting a team from NASA and the ISS for a presentation on collaborative opportunities in space. The keynote presenter was a NASA astronaut who flew on 3 shuttle missions including 2 deployments to the ISS. She logged over 42 days in space. She's a certified bad-ass by any unit of measurement, and a Texas Ex to boot.

During the Q&A one of the questions from the audience was to ask her to describe her most thrilling moment as an astronaut. Now, ramjet can attest to this better than most, but being an astronaut doesn't equate to being a great or inspiring public speaker. Her engineering principles were on full display. She was calculated, precise...anything but boastful (almost to her detriment; the audience wants to be wowed by tales of what they'll never experience). But  she did her best to describe the immense power of the 8 1/2 minute launch, the beauty of seeing the aurora borealis plus massive weather patterns on earth from space,, etc. She also talked about how one of the most memorable and cool things she saw was the view from the shuttle each time (she was on the Discovery all 3 missions) upon re-entry when (I'm gonna fuck up the particulars) the plasma super heated and a brilliant--in her words--"burnt orange glow encased the vehicle. As a Longhorn I thought that was really cool."

The audience here in Austin politely chuckled/applauded as you'd expect. Except for the dumb fuck, twenty something aggy who waited until the crowd noise subsided to let out a 5 second long "hisssssssssss."  Heads snapped around to find this douche who, when he realized he was being stared down, lifted his right hand with a feeble gig em sign.

This dipshit is two years or less into his career & he thinks the appropriate thing to do in a public event (we were also streaming it globally) is to hiss at an astronaut and PhD in engineering? What the fuck is wrong with these idiots?

 

And I guarantee you if that toady little shit went and told the same story on texags he would get rounds and rounds of praise for the "good bull".

Morons.
