UCLA athletics director Dan Guerrero has several bonus clauses in his contract, but none linked to the success of individual teams. He e-mailed a statement in his role as president of the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics, which says in part: "Linking an athletic director's compensation directly to the performance of specific teams is a decision that rests with each individual institution. … With rising costs to athletic departments across the country, each school must do what its central administration feels fits best into its long-term financial model." Surprised? Sure, the article is about conflict of interest in tying said bonuses to athletic performance, but I think we're seeing the drawback of having it the other way.
