I asked copilot - What was the salary of famed Ohio State football coach woody hayes in the 1970s?

Joe Biden - "Time to put Trump in the bullseye."
Looks like it was around 30K a year which is maybe like 140K today. Present day OSU coach ryan day gets $12.5 million!!! The players get a crummy $30K scholarship. And don't tell me about NIL - the schools don't pay that. What a ripoff.

Here is what copilot said:

Woody Hayes’ exact year‑by‑year salary through the 1970s isn’t fully documented in public archives, but one solid, sourced figure​

  • 1974 salary: $27,000 per year This comes from a Wall Street Journal–referenced report discussed by Ohio State fans, noting that Hayes turned down a raise in 1974 as a symbolic gesture during the inflation crisis. His salary in the early and late 1970s likely fell in a similar range (mid‑$20Ks to low‑$30Ks), but no authoritative source provides a complete salary timeline for each year of the decade.
