During that time, he devised the marketing strategies for the most innovative and fan-friendly product in the entire league. Today, McVay serves as the President/CEO of the Outback Bowl, one of the most popular and successful games of the college bowl season I am pretty sure Jim McVay makes way more at the Outback Bowl than USF can offer. I want to say 1.5 a year, or something like that. $800,000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though my number was off, I think 800k is enough to exclude him as a candidate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only because of the success of the bowl, but also because as CEO and president he makes almost $800,000 a year -- the highest salary of any bowl game CEO. IF doug is making $710k thats pretty close Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Higgins will be our next AD. This freaking cracks me up. Yeah, it won't be him, not at 34 years old, but it should be him. We need someone with the juice of youthful exuberance to get us out of this funk and get some energy and excitement back in athletics. I'll bet the guy can raise money like nobody's business. He'll finish off that $1B campaign in a heartbeat and start working on funding a stadium. Angelos can deal with mundane efforts of AD work as the Senior VP Executive Associate Administrator of Athletic Direction or whatever his title is. What we don't need is another hunk of melba toast or Little Lord Fontleroy running USF athletics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How deep is the rabbit's hole that's rooted in an athletics department that's okay with doing enough to get by? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure I trust a guy with no inside experience though, not yet at least. Higgins was Assistant Athletic Director at USF before moving to run the Tampa Bay Sports Commission.
