Anthony Fauci and the federal government have nothing on the Oregon Public Employee Retirement System (PERS) system.
Following are a list of former football coaches at University of Oregon and what they were collecting per year as of January 1, 2021:
Mike Bellotti, Former HC, OC and AD: $592,886;
Nick Aliotti, DC, $281,185;
Gary Campbell, RB, $280,935;
Don Pellum, LB, $262,757;
Steve Greatwood, DL/OL, $206,796;
Zoumboukos, Neal, TE, AHC, $123,421.
As State of Oregon employees, these long-time Oregon coaches are entitled to these retirements with the requisite COLAs every year.
For example, Bellotti’s initial annuity was approximately $540,000/year; Aliotti’s was approximately $220,00/year.
How much did they contribute to PERS to receive annuities that are this large?
