Tulsa's AD, and football and men's basketball head coaches have all taken pay cuts this year to help stem Tulsa's budget woes.
"Specific numbers aren’t known, but recent budget cuts have affected all aspects of TU’s operation. In an effort to avoid a reduction in services for student-athletes, Gragg said, Hurricane football coach Philip Montgomery, men’s basketball coach Frank Haith and Gragg himself all have accepted pay cuts."
"We approached it with a combination of things. We did have some budget reductions. We did have some head-coaching salary reductions. My salary has been reduced the past three years. That’s the way we’ve dealt with some of that. You don’t want to negatively impact the student-athletes in any way.”
When Haith was hired in 2014, he agreed to an annual compensation of $1.3 million. Montgomery is believed to be near or at that same salary. What was the amount of their pay cut? Gragg did not specify.
It was believed five months ago that a contract extension for Haith was imminent. On Tuesday, Gragg would not discuss the status of that extension."
Just dump them now!! Good grief.
