It's just ridiculous.

Coach Kruger makes $1M/yr.

Why are Nevada taxpayers forced to fund this scam?

$1M/yr Kruger Gets Knee Surgery

Get well soon, then resign!

I have no problem with pro athletes/coaches making millions. I don't care how much Bishop Gorman's coaching staff or players make. I *do* care when Nevada taxpayers (one of whom I happen to be) are FORCED to pay for it. I've already bought *your* tickets.

The public sector is not supposed to be a place to get rich. That's what the *private* sector is for. I'm spreading FACTS. You folks who always want to tax *other* people to pay for your favorite programs are the true hateful ones.

BTW, did any of you hoop fanatics catch that story out of SUNY-Binghamptom about how the school fired an English prof for not giving their thug basketball players special treatment? She also complained that the coaches were text messaging the "student"-athletes during class.

Pay Score: Kruger $1M. Players Nothing

Kruger makes $1M per year. How much do the players make? Only the government can get away with paying six figure athletes LESS than minimum wage.

Hey starters: tell the Coach you want a share of the money. He gets paid a premium for hiring you to WORK for nothing. Like any good (bad) CEO.

Come to UNLV for the Hoops

Kids transfer for all sorts of reasons, but a lack of playing time remains the leading cause.

The one thing they definitely DO NOT transfer for is better academic opportunities. UNLV's basketball program is completely out of control. Nevada taxpayers should not be subsidizing the NBA. If these kids want to play basketball, there are plenty of leagues to choose from. They don't have to waste their time (and Nevada tax dollars) in ridiculous programs like "Interdisciplinary" (jockology).
