Continued from 1B
depth showed and that’s why
they are a good team,” Rodri-
guez said. “They have girls
that can come off the bench
and their quality doesn’t drop
off as much so they should
take that forward and even
though losing again is not
ideal, when you play a team
of that caliber and you play
so well, there’s a lot of good
things to take from it.”
Leading Hermiston was
senior Hannah Thompson
with 12 points. Romero
chipped in 11 and Palzinski
got seven of her own.

STANFIELD
53,
IMBLER 40 — The
Stanfield Tigers finally got
their break, and picked up
their first win of the season
Tuesday. On the road, soph-
omore Kendra Hart led the
team in its 53-40 over Imbler.
Hart tallied a game-high
23 points. Senior Jessica
Wallace also chipped in 10
points, the only other Tiger to
score in double digits.
“Kendra Hart had a great
game tonight,” head coach
Daniel Sharp said. “It was
also nice to see other people
score.”
Stanfield was able to
move the ball well against the
host team, and defensively
the Tigers (1-10) were just as
solid.
Hart racked up five steals
against the Panthers (2-5),
and sophomore Savannah
Sharp had a good outing,
grabbing 10 rebounds and
adding nine points to Stan-
field’s total.

STANFIELD
40,

The Tigers (6-6) next
play at Irrigon on Thursday.
GAP: Playoff distributed at least $60 million to Power Five conferences in 2016
Continued from 1B
monitored from practice to
training table. They also get
more academic supervision
and support.
“There’s a big difference
between a need and a want,”
said Joe Parker, the athletic
director at Colorado State,
which recently opened a
new $220 million on-campus
football stadium. “I think
we fulfill every need that
I’ve seen on our campus as
it relates to intercollegiate
athletes. The list of wants is
extensive and there’s prob-
ably not a budget to address
every one of them. That’s
the space we live in, making
those tough decisions and
prioritizing
them.
Not
convincing ourselves that
this thing that might look and
seem nice is a necessity when
it really isn’t it.”
Colorado State’s athletic
revenue was just under $40
million, which ranks in the
top half of the Mountain
West but is still $18 million
less than Washington State,
which ranked last among the
Power Five’s public schools.
Twenty-eight Power Five
schools reported athletic
revenue of more than $100
million, with Texas A&M
leading the way at nearly
$195 million. Each of the
Power Five conferences
made payouts to their
members ranging between
from $42 million in the
Southeastern
Conference
to about $29 million in the
Pac-12.
The College Football
Playoff distributed at least
$60 million to each Power
Five conference last season
, with the Big Ten netting
$70.9 million. The Group of
Five payouts ranged from
the MAC at $21.9 million
to Conference USA at $13.9
million.
Not all Group of Five
conferences are created
equal, but even the most
lucrative — the American
Athletic Conference — is
paying its members about
10 times less than what most
Power Five leagues share
with their schools.
Lembo coached at Ball
State from 2011-15, going
33-29 (23-17 in the MAC).
After a 3-9 season in 2015
that made his future at the
school uncertain, he left to
become assistant head coach
and special teams coordi-
nator for head coach DJ
Durkin at Maryland. Lembo
made about $515,000 in his
final season with the Cardi-
nals, and made $350,000 last
year at Maryland, which is
about $60,000 less than what
several MAC head coaches
make.
At Colorado State, Parker
paid head coach Mike Bobo
$1.55 million last year, about
$100,000 less than Kansas
coach David Beaty, who
was the lowest-paid coach in
Power Five.
Parker and many ADs in
his position try to downplay
the differences in revenue,
and to some extent they have
a point. Ohio from the MAC
beat Kansas this season.
Northern Illinois, another
MAC school, beat Nebraska
from the Big Ten. Memphis
from the AAC beat UCLA
from the Pac-12.
“I think a lot of emphasis
is placed on budget size.
Maybe too much,” said
Parker, who has previously
worked in athletic adminis-
tration at Texas Tech, Mich-
igan, Oklahoma, Washington
State and Texas. “In what
I’ve seen when people line up
to compete, the size of your
budget doesn’t have much
meaning at that moment.”
