Is swim coach worth $353,518?

Not everyone in college there in California makes the money you mention since many of them are assistances or work part time. But at my old College, Cal-State Fullerton, they went into a college subsidized housing program because many of them were unable to pay a house in a decent area in Orange County. Many teachers didn't want to buy a house in the barrio and communted from Riverside instead. Wayne, when I was a kid a blue collar person could own a home in either LA or Orange County. My parents had jobs like a bartender and telephone operator, now people like that have to live in Morreno Valley in order to afford a house in that part of California.

That coach was smart enough to make a contract that was perceived to be a win-win situation for all parties involved, where he was rewarded for increasing revenue to the program by attracting more people and he did that very successfully. From the article, the people attracted to the programs seem very pleased, as is the staff. The programs seem exceptionally successful on a number of measures. I don't see who that is directly involved is complaining. I think the next question is why are there not more organizations taking this successful approach? Steve
