Assistant pay

- Start date
Given JMU’s defense, I bet there were plenty who would want to hire him. Have to pay for the best. Now he has to earn it.
IU paying Curt Cignetti's coaching staff $1 million more than it paid Tom Allen's
Cignetti’s first staff will comfortably surpass Allen’s last in terms of compensation, and includes the Hoosiers’ first million-dollar coordinator.

Appreciate you posting the article 89. A couple things:IU paying Curt Cignetti's coaching staff $1 million more than it paid Tom Allen's

1) has Bostad’s compensation different from what it was under CTA?
2) interesting that Buddah makes that much more than Kuntz
Yes, Coach Bostad received a $50K increase to $700,000/yr.
Looks like all the new assistants got about 5 times their previous pay. Nice hot to the check book.
Just a thought, was IU holding back to be able to undermine coach Allen. It is interesting bringing in coach Cignetti, I am glad they did, also improved pay for assistant coaches and increased NIL.
Possibly, but it is also possible that they simply drew lessons from the experience over the past few years. Plus, the market changes considerably from a year to year basis.
Additionally, to push back the administration had no problem stepping up to pay Carey when it was needed and I doubt they did that if their hope was to fire Allen and staff. Maybe watching Allen stand by Hiller did not provide the administration the confidence to open the check book based on CTA’s opinion of a coach. Or CCC’s no nonsense approach just drove a harder bargain for his guys.
It would be guess work on either side of the debate, so we might as well just take solace in the fact that we are now willing to pay our assistants well enough to compete in the market.

If the NIL climate doesn't change, IU's AD et al will need to progressively increase Indiana's FB NIL in order to remain competitive for talented portal athletes.

I don’t think it was “undermining” but I think the administration got tired of some of Allen’s revolving door of hires and he lost their trust. He made a few really good hires that were outweighed by several bad hires and holding onto one of them too long.
I said prior to 2023 that if Walt Bell was shown the door, Allen is gone too.
So, IU may have held back some support but it was likely due to the fact that they saw no further ROI on Allen and they weren’t going to dump more money into his regime.
Sounds harsh but this was a do or die year for Allen and if he was going to do it, it was with the resources he had.
Allen alluded to upping the NIL game. That is the result of donors, not the university. Donors also were not going to put a bunch of support into the regime when it became apparent that this was going down the drain.
Right, the NIL for CTA lost momentum, partly due to the administration discouraging interest in in a losing situation. Hopefully, the NIL given by the donors for Coach Cignett's program will continue to prosper.
The pay level doesn't seem much different. Indiana had stepped up for Allen and assistants as well. A good bump, but not earth shaking.
