			<title>The University Of New Hampshire Paid $100K For New Logos That Its Students Don’t Like</title>
			<link>http://juicedsportsblog.com/sports-news/news/the-university-of-new-hampshire-paid-100k-for-new-logos-that-its-students-don’t-like</link>
			<description><![CDATA[Like most American colleges, the old University of New Hampshire academic logo was long overdue for a makeover, so the school’s officials hired a big time company in New York City to whip up some fancy new logos that would make kids in the Northeast change the way they think about selecting schools. The results, as you can see above, are certainly logos, but when they were recently presented to current UNH students, they weren’t very well received.And once everyone learned that UNH paid the firm of Chermayeff &amp; Geismer &amp; Haviv as much as $108,200 to design those three ideas, the complaints only grew in scale and fist-shaking rage. For instance, check out the unfiltered fury of these two students that were interviewed by CBS Boston.“I don’t like them too much,” said student Joel Ford.Many students echoed that sentiment.“I thought the first two were boring and kind of lame,” said student Louisa Normington.I assume that riot police showed up within minutes. But of course the university’s officials are defending the relatively simple designs that cost approximately $35,000 each.“Change is difficult for people,” said UNH Marketing professor Catherine Blake. “A new logo can bring energy to the institution. We’re really bringing UNH into the 21st century.”Adding, “And some people think that marketing degrees are useless, but I swear to God they’re not!”Besides, it’s not like UNH’s leaders just called up the firm and said, “Hey, whip us up something that looks like an upside down ass and here’s some cash.” They put A LOT of thought into the process.“It’s more than just a design,” said UNH spokeswoman Erika Mantz in a statement. “This is about branding the university and it involved extensive market research and countless hours of interviews.”Nice try, UNH’s own Lindsay Naegle, but it’s clear that the students want more of an opinion in this matter, and as the people who are entering into a life of student loan debt are essentially paying this $108,000, I’d say they deserve it.So here’s my solution – as the person who has already designed the new College Football Playoffs logo and the Dallas Mavericks uniforms – I haven’t checked but I assume they were both accepted – I am going to design UNH’s new logo as well. Don’t worry, I’m not going to get all elaborate like I have in the past, and I will still offer a very conservative-yet-modern logo. You can PayPal the $108,000 to doodiefart69@blasianchicks.taint.Let’s start with the simple blue background, but let’s give it a little pop.Everyone loves blue glitter. It’s usually all over my favorite strippers. Now let’s add the school’s letters.Already looking like an Ivy League logo, if you ask me. Now, each letter should be highlighted to give this some extra pizzazz. The shield look is too fuddy duddy for my taste, so let’s explore some basic shapes for a unique-but-classic look.I think the circles look amazing. The right one seems to hang a little different than the left, but the real logos tend to do that. So let’s add one more shape to make this design pop. How about a triangle, a symbol of power and equality…Yeah, that’s hot. Let’s send that to print. You’re welcome, UNH.The post The University Of New Hampshire Paid $100K For New Logos That Its Students Don’t Like appeared first on With Leather.

			<title>Wyoming’s Dave Christensen Is Stealing Motivational Techniques From With Leather</title>
			<link>http://juicedsportsblog.com/sports-news/news/wyoming’s-dave-christensen-is-stealing-motivational-techniques-from-with-leather</link>
			<description><![CDATA[Wyoming coach Dave Christensen wants his team to be fast. How fast, you ask?  So fast that he’s willing to spend all day in photoshop to illustrate it.The problem is that Dave isn’t exactly a photoshop wizard, so the 2013 Wyoming Cowboys will have to settle for being motivated by an extended gag from an Ashley Burns post.  Ladies and gentlemen, behold, auteur Dave Christensen’s masterpiece FastNFurious 13: All Roads Lead To The Endzone.Questions:1. Why is Fast &amp; Furious 13 coming out this fall?  Isn’t part 6 being released in a few days?2. What happens in Fasts 7-12 to transition these guys from street racers to college football players?  Is Fast 9 about Paul Walker going back to school?3. Who’s car is that? Dave’s?4. What play are they running where everybody has a football?  Is Wyoming so fast that they’re doing all their plays at once?5. Who is that shadow character trying to stop them?  Is he part of the car?You’re really losing me here, Dave.  And I liked Tokyo Drift.[h/t to Dr. Saturday]The post Wyoming’s Dave Christensen Is Stealing Motivational Techniques From With Leather appeared first on With Leather.

			<title>Infographic: Is Your State&#039;s Highest-Paid Employee A Coach? (Probably)</title>
			<link>http://juicedsportsblog.com/sports-news/news/infographic-is-your-states-highestpaid-employee-a-coach-probably</link>
			<description><![CDATA[
You may have heard that the highest-paid employee in each state is usually the football coach at the largest state school. This is actually a gross mischaracterization: Sometimes it is the basketball coach.
Based on data drawn from media reports and state salary databases, the ranks of the highest-paid active public employees include 27 football coaches, 13 basketball coaches, one hockey coach, and 10 dorks who aren&#039;t even in charge of a team.
So are my hard-earned tax dollars paying these coaches?
Probably not. The bulk of this coaching money—especially at the big football schools—is paid out of the revenue that the teams generate. 
So what&#039;s the problem then? These guys make tons of money for their schools; shouldn&#039;t they be paid accordingly?
There are at least three problems.
Coaches don&#039;t generate revenue on their own; you could make the exact same case for the student-athletes who actually play the game and score the points and fracture their legs.It can be tough to attribute this revenue directly to the performance of the head coach. In 2011-2012, Mack Brown was paid $5 million to lead a mediocre 8-5 Texas team to the Holiday Bowl. The team still generated $103.8 million in revenue, the most in college football. You don&#039;t have to pay someone $5 million to make college football profitable in Texas.This revenue rarely makes its way back to the general funds of these universities. Looking at data from 2011-2012, athletic departments at 99 major schools lost an average of $5 million once you take out revenue generated from &quot;student fees&quot; and &quot;university subsidies.&quot; If you take out &quot;contributions and donations&quot;—some of which might have gone to the universities had they not been lavished on the athletic departments—this drops to an average loss of $17 million, with just one school (Army) in the black. All this football/basketball revenue is sucked up by coach and AD salaries, by administrative and facility costs, and by the athletic department&#039;s non-revenue generating sports; it&#039;s not like it&#039;s going to microscopes and Bunsen burners.
But wait. I looked up my coach&#039;s pay in a state salary database and he wasn&#039;t on top. What gives?
Most of these databases include only the coaches&#039; base salaries, which are drawn directly from the state fund. This is how you could be led to believe that Virginia&#039;s offensive coordinator earns more than its head coach.
Far exceeding these base salaries is the &quot;additional compensation&quot; that almost all of these coaches receive, which is tied to media appearances, apparel contracts, and fundraising. While this compensation does not come directly from the state fund it is guaranteed in the coaches&#039; contracts; if revenue falls short, the school—and thus the state—is on the hook to cover the difference. Plus, even it doesn&#039;t come directly from taxpayers, this compensation is still problematic for all the reasons listed above.
Beyond salary and additional compensation, coaches earn money from bonus incentives tied primarily to the team&#039;s performance. This analysis ignored those bonuses and focused on guaranteed money, as it&#039;s impossible to guess at whether a coach will hit his benchmarks. And we&#039;re not even touching the ridiculous amounts of money coaches can get if they&#039;re fired before their contract ends.
Regarding the asterisks on the map:
 * Penn State is technically &quot;state-related&quot; and not truly public, and as a result the school does not receive as much state funding as a typical public school (leading to higher tuition) and does not have to disclose as much information about its employees. You can read the details here.
** It&#039;s difficult to track down salary information for employees at Ole Miss and Mississippi State, but the highest non-coach salaries we could find top out at around $500,000. While we can&#039;t prove that nobody at these schools earns more than Dan Mullen&#039;s $2.65 million per year, we think it&#039;s very unlikely. ]]></description>
