Kek. "According to the Athletic, Wojnarowski makes about $7 million a year at ESPN and has three years left on his contract, meaning he is leaving about $20 million on the table. The average salary for a general manager at a Division 1 university is between $130,020 and $172,958, according to Salaries.com." That's not something anyone would do
Pretty good chance he is set for life already. Not everyone values money over time. Presumably this has been in the works for a while.
Yea I get it but nah. You don't leave that kinda money. What millionaire decides "I've got enough money" That tribe worships money
Just what I thought. He is 55 and still has a lot of time left to enjoy life. He is a sportscaster, not a CEO or investment banker:
Wojnarowski said “this craft transformed my life. I understand the commitment required in my role and it’s an investment that I’m not longer driven to make. Time isn’t in endless supply and I want to spend mine in ways that are more personally meaningful …. It is a thrill of a lifetime to be able to return to a university and community that I love in a role of service to our student-athletes, coaches and institution. I am hopeful that I can bring value in a lot of areas to our basketball program and open doors for our young men’s futures in ways both professionally and personally.”
I'm not a big fan of deciding what everyone "would" do based on generalities. Maybe it's just a pain to have to be on air every day on TV and radio.
Me neither but when something smells I notice. That was a 7mil a year pain.
