Williams, Friedgen and Frese highest-paid Maryland employees - DC Sports Bog - The Washington Post
So surprise Gary and Ralph were #1 and #2, respectively. They bring money into the University and any who says it's ridiculous that they got paid that much need to go take an econ 101 class. I knew we paid Brenda a lot to keep her here following the Natty in 2006, but I'm surprised she's the 3rd highest paid state employee...

NCAA Rule Says Jones Can’t Enroll at St. John’s (UPDATED) | ZagsBlog.com
Why are we linking to this? Because I think this rule would have been applicable for Maryland, had Wally Judge decided to come here. I think with the hiring of Hill, he wouldn't have been able to attend Maryland.

Coaches' salaries

In total agreement with you, Dave. I think the only two times I ever sympathized with Calhoun were when he was being grilled about his salary, and when he was being grilled about not recruiting Ryan Gomes.

Booth and Ehsan made significantly more than they were supposed to, and Bino made significantly ($50000) less.

that JW article definitely pissed me off

Before I was kind of pacing myself. I couldn’t play 100 percent all the time and now I’m at a point where I’ve lost the weight and I can do a lot more things that makes it a lot easier for me to enjoy the game. That’s a huge part of why I’m getting better every day. I’ve been playing more above the rim than in college. I move better defensively.

It’s kind of sad to see his lack of discipline. He “had to” get a McGriddle everyday? Pathetic.
