Jim Calhoun

I think few people at Cornell would have had a problem with giving Steve Donahue a generous raise after this past season. Yes, Cornell is slashing budgets, eliminating positions, and taking on more debt. But his success has brought recognition, pride, and certainly revenue to a university which went through a tough year.

On the other hand, there's Jim Calhoun. After missing the NCAA tournament this season, he enters into "negotiations" with UConn and wins a huge salary increase, from $1.6 million to $2.3 million. This with UConn deep in the red and the athletic department spending hundreds of thousands to defend Calhoun's program against an NCAA investigation.

Take it away, Colin McEnroe.
