Higher education is in crisis, staggered by a depressed economy that has shrunk state appropriations, endowments and overall institutional budgets. The Berkeley campus has taken a near $150 million cut in state funding and is laying off faculty and staff, imposing furloughs, cutting back new enrollment and paring course offerings while hiking studentsâ?? tuition. Most sports programs, though, spend on. Starting with football coachesâ?? salaries. USA TODAYâ??s latest study of compensation reveals that at least 25 college head football coaches make $2 million or more this season, slightly more than double the number two years ago.
