We all know it by now. Bernie Machen, the Franken Berry look-a-like , makes a helluva-lot of money.

We have been inundated with stories of his over-paid ass and related  UF economic issues for quite some time (Hey -- Urban Meyer is under a $14 million, seven year contract).

But how does one get to such a position? Well the Board of Trustees nominates you... of course. Anything delving deeper into that political machine just hurts one's head.

Well, what is the reason behind such a high salary? Usually, to qualify for the job, a university president has previously exhibited skills in academics, fund raising and management. Raising funds may be the most important of these traits and maybe Machen exceeds at this to his benefit.

Less money for UF programs, more fees for students and more money for the black hole bureaucracy. Blah. Blah. Blah.  Got it. Now what is being done about this?

Side note: This blog was written with the full knowledge of how redundant it is to portray President Bernie Machen as a money-grubbing bureaucrat. It was mostly created to point out the  similarities between Machen and Franken Berry and to show them partying together under raining money. Enjoy.
