Proposed California amendment would cap coaches salaries at $200,000
Some states do everything they can to help out athletics programs in their borders, that is something that California has never really been accused of doing. A state-wide travel ban has already caused some ripples with regards to scheduling for some teams and it seems lawmakers in Sacramento are back with a new constitutional amendment that could hamper schools ability to pay their coaches.
UCLA student paper The Daily Bruin passes along news that a new constitutional amendment was announced last week “that aims to restrict the University of California’s autonomy by reducing staff salaries, the length of regents’ terms and the authority of the UC president.” That first item is the biggest to take note of, which would institute a cap on non-faculty salaries to $200,000 per year — something that would affect everybody from coaches to the athletic director and everybody in between.
The University of California (UC) system most notably includes Pac-12 schools like UCLA and Cal, which means coaches like Chip Kelly and Justin Wilcox could be affected. To take Kelly as an example, he signed a five-year contract worth a total of $23.3 million when he was hired by the Bruins this offseason.
Head football coaches salaries are not typically paid completely by a school directly however, so there is some wiggle room should this amendment wind up passing. Often a separate athletics organization will foot most of the bill using funds raised from donors while other outside companies sometimes also get involved. Things might be a little more interesting when it comes to assistant’s salaries or non-football/men’s basketball head coaches and support staffers however, who could fall under the purview of the cap.
In other words, some creative accounting practices might have to be implemented by schools like UCLA or Cal or else they’ll be at a significant disadvantage compared to their private school peers like USC or Stanford as well as conference rivals like Arizona or Oregon.
It’s far from certain the amendment will pass given that it requires a two-thirds vote in the state legislature as well as passing muster on a state-wide ballot measure during a general election. We don’t typically see college coaches wade too far into political waters but, in this case, they might be forced to because its one that directly affects their wallets.

Californians vote to legalize recreational use of marijuana in the state

The Californians that started this initiative have been smoking too much weed; but regardless, I'd like to see it pass.

Marvin Harrison Jr. will leave behind a powerful legacy at Ohio State, Buckeye assistant coaches make bank and Aaron Craft and Thad Matta are now roommates in Indianapolis.
THAT'S A LOT OF MONEY. According to USA TODAY Sports' annual analysis of college football staff salaries, Ohio State's assistant salary pool leads all public schools in the Football Bowl Subdivision in 2023.
Ohio State, Georgia and Alabama are the three schools to surpass $9 million in combined on-field staff salaries this season. The Buckeyes lead the pack at $9.27 million, followed by the Bulldogs ($9.23 million) and Crimson Tide ($9.17 million). Ryan Day ($10.3 million), Kirby Smart ($10.7 million) and Nick Saban ($11.4 million) are also among the highest-paid head coaches in the sport.
This year, five of Ohio State's 10 assistant coaches are earning at least $1 million. Defensive coordinator Jim Knowles paces all Buckeye assistants at $1.96 million, a number that ranks third in the FBS behind Clemson offensive coordinator Garrett Riley ($2.1 million) and Washington offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb ($2 million).
Ohio State's other million-dollar assistants are defensive line coach Larry Johnson ($1.67 million), offensive coordinator and wide receivers coach Brian Hartline ($1.6 million), offensive line coach Justin Frye ($1 million) and secondary coach Tim Walton ($1 million).
The lower-paid assistants on staff – relatively speaking – are running backs coach Tony Alford ($772,500), safeties coach Perry Eliano ($515,000), special teams coach Parker Fleming ($500,000), quarterbacks coach Corey Dennis ($412,000) and tight ends coach Keenan Bailey ($400,000).
