Stoops' incentives demonstrate priorities

The financial incentives for new head football coach Mike Stoops are certainly interesting.

He can earn an extra $150,000 for leading the team to a national championship game, but only $25,000 if the team has a high graduation rate. It is nice to see the university so clearly displaying its priorities.

With the fee increase, which the Arizona Board of Regents recently approved, resident law students will pay $8,250 in fees in addition to the regular tuition. Tuition now sits a little below $4,000, but will likely rise before next year. [Read article]
