High School Football Awards: Team, Player, and Coach of the Year honors go to…
It was a simple edict St. Joseph’s Prep coach Gabe Infante likes to pose — though it’s very rare that he asks it, since the Hawks seldom end their season with a loss.But that’s what stood there behind the Hawks in blinking bold numbers through the misty cold last December: Pine-Richland 41, St. Joseph’s Prep 21.“When we lost in the state championship last year, I turned to this group and I said, ‘The last time I had this talk with a team was in 2015, when we had this very painful loss, and they reeled off 27-straight wins, so I’m asking, 'What are you going to do now, how are you going to respond?’” Infante recalled. “Well, this group has reeled off 13-straight.”Those 13 wins carried the Prep through an undefeated season, capped off by its fourth PIAA state championship in six years after the Hawks demolished a very good Harrisburg team, 40-20, on Dec. 8 at Hersheypark Stadium to claim the 6A state title for the … [Read more...] about High School Football Awards: Team, Player, and Coach of the Year honors go to…
Presidents from 2 local colleges not named Harvard or MIT rank among the country’s highest paid
Despite being less than a mile from each other, Boston University and Simmons University don’t have very similar profiles. One has more than 30,000 students and has historically been one of Boston’s biggest employers; the other has around 2,000 all-female students and officially became a university just earlier this year. The two Boston schools have at least one thing in common, though: How much money their respective presidents make. According to an annual executive compensation survey released Sunday by the Chronicle of Higher Education, BU and Simmons have the 12th and 13th most highly paid presidents among private colleges in the country. Including public colleges, the two universities fall to just 14th and 15th, respectively, according to the 2016 data based on the most recent federal tax filings. BU president Robert Brown’s total compensation that year was $1,672,442, which included a base salary of just over $1 million. Brown, who … [Read more...] about Presidents from 2 local colleges not named Harvard or MIT rank among the country’s highest paid
