Dear Editor: It has been reported the UW football coach has been given a $550,000 increase in salary after his first year at Wisconsin. That amounts to a 73 percent addition for winning 12 football games and losing one. This record was very commendable even though it was a relatively easy schedule.
It would be interesting to compare this increase to the proposed raise of 3 percent for thousands of citizens in the Wisconsin Retirement System or the 2-3 percent raise in Social Security benefits for millions of people.
