The University of California released its employee compensation report, and it’s really no surprise that coach Jeff Tedford topped the list of breadwinners.
Last year, Tedford took home more than $2.8 million–that’s out of about $14 million doled out to athletic coaches across the UC system. Also among the top ten are other coaches and health sciences faculty from UC Berkeley, UC San Francisco and UCLA.
And dear ol’ Chancellor Robert Birgeneau? Well, BobBi didn’t even come close with his measly $430,116. C’mon, the dude needs a living wage, people.

Everyone always likes to bring this up and claim that UC is putting its priorities in the wrong places.
But, if you look at the numbers, you realize that UC only pays a fraction of that $2.8 million. The rest comes from private donations and alumni fundraisers who make athletic-specific donations to the university.
Meanwhile, Birge gets more than his salary - he gets benefits, use of the Chancellor’s house, and all kinds of other perks. The university (rightfully) “pays” Birge more in the end than Tedford.
