S Trustees have been asked to approve five building planning studies, including making the area west of 15th and High streets an arts district and the front door to The Enterprise. (First they close it and now they want to reopen it!) The cost for the planning studies is between $5-7 million, an estimate which only accounts for the architectural studies. The board has extended President Drake's contract through 2021, which calls for a base salary of $832K, a goals-based bonus of up to $208K (wanna bet he gets it?), a vehicle, financial planning, and social club membership benefits totaling $30K will be raised to $100K. Oh, plus $200K per year to a defined contribution retirement plan. Oh, plus five annual life insurance premiums of $463K (annual!) providing a tax- advantaged annuity and death benefit (plus a death benefit to the Enterprise) No mention was made of the home in Bexley. Former basketball coach Thad Matta's 2019-20 contract will be honored for $9 million. Matta was paid a longevity bonus of $625K in April and was terminated shortly after. Gene Smith, Senior Vice President and Wolfe Foundation Endowed Athletic Director, was quoted extensively. Assistant football coaches will make roughly $650K each in the upcoming year; Kevin Wilson will receive $750; Ryan Day $800K; Bill Davis $500K; and Greg Schiano $700K. Coach bonuses can be up to 25.5 percent and other benefits such as a $600/month car allowance (no Jeep Wrangler lease for us!) The university wants to buy the old Indianola Junior High School building. OSU is moving Cannon Drive to straighten and elevate it. This will protect the medical complex (the real heart of it all) from flooding, as it apparently keeps expanding in a flood plain. The construction will eliminate a mere 2,100 medical and football parking spaces! Enjoy those remote parking buses, everyone!
