Butch Klug: Well-paid coaches help fund university

In response to a recent letter regarding pay raises for UW assistant coaches, yes the budget is tight. But the 25 percent raise the coaches got did not all come from the taxpayers. Much of it came from booster clubs and private individuals. You have to realize what these coaches bring in ? millions of dollars in revenue to the athletics program and the university. Without that we are going back to the old days when you could not give a ticket away.
