Sawvel took a pay cut

[PorkerPoke]

Apparently he signed an addendum to reduce his salary by $125,000 for revenue sharing. He also pulled $100,000 from his retention bonus to retain key staff members.

He credits getting the 3 offensive linemen with that move.

I have to give him credit for trying. I suspect we will now hear how Burman has already put so much into the programs.

I have to give Sawvel credit for doing this in his attempt to put together a better product.

Good for him if this is accurate and not a matter of changing numbers.

 

[Bear Claw]

Based on performance, he should have given 90% back.

Maybe, but its a nice gesture

I sure hope his investment pays off. It’s pretty embarrassing that we have to have a coach that forfeits a portion of their salary just to try to stay competitive in the NIL market. And with proposed budget cuts from our dumb legislators, there could be bigger things to cry about than Jay on the sidelines. Anyone that cares about UW and the athletics needs to speak up to their legislators AND turn out in the primaries to get some people in there that do care.
