The Female Quotient’s Post

The gender pay gap is still so disappointing in 2024... It's depressing but please INFORM yourselves so that you know what it is you're fighting for. Whether our parts go outward or inward should NOT determine how much we get paid... "As of March 2024, women working full-time, year-round in the United States are paid 84% of what men earn, on average. This means that a woman would need to work from January 1, 2023 to March 12, 2024 to make what a man working full-time made in 2023. This gap is even wider for Black and Hispanic women. For example, compared to white, non-Hispanic men, Black women make 69 cents on the dollar, Latinas make 57 cents, and Native women make 59 cents."

Why are we here in 2024 when women have proven to be equal to or better than their male counterparts? Even companies that say they are actively trying to level the playing field just aren’t getting there fast enough. In 2021, more than half of households were headed by women, up from 33% in 1990. This increase is mainly due to the rise in female-headed married households, which increased from 8% in 1990 to 43% in 2021. Households headed by single women have a lower median income than those headed by single men, at $49,400 compared to $61,700. Please open your eyes to these discrepancies and strive to do better if you are decision makers and leaders. After all, the mother in these stats might have raised you.

Steve Sarkisian used Nick Saban's retirement (aka the Alabama opening) to get a massive raise at the University of Texas: • 2x salary increase to $10 million annually • Access to a private jet for personal use • Free membership to Austin Country Club • Two cars and a luxury suite for all UT football games Texas also doesn't have a state income tax, and the school is paying 60% of the money to Sarkisian's corporation, allowing him to write off agent fees. This has caused many people to say the deal is overkill — student-athletes still only capture a small piece of the pie, and Texas will owe Sarkisian millions in buyout money if he were fired over the next few years. But the numbers indicate this is actually a good deal for Texas. The athletic department at the University of Texas brought in an NCAA record $271 million in operating revenue last year, with the football team's success accounting for 70% of the total. That means Sarkisian's contract represents just 5% of the football team's annual budget and less than 4% of the school's overall athletic budget. It also allows them to find stability at the position, ultimately helping fund all the other sports. And with Texas moving to the SEC next season, they'll have all the resources they need, both financial and personnel-wise, to be successful. The bottom line: College sports are a big business. Ps.

What are the Educational, Health, or Economic Benefits to these Players and their Families for that kids uncompensated participation in any additional “NON-SCHOLARSHIP” private third-party postseason football games that pay the Universities and the Conferences for the use of their free labor to put on these highly profitable Bowl events. The answer is ZERO! These additional 1-5 POSTSEASON games are also above the Players’ 12 game athletic scholarship agreement? Our Proposal offers Major Benefits in all three Categories to the Players and their Families! Scholarship Football Players are owed Hundreds of Millions of dollars from this year’s Media contract that uses these Players’ Name, Image, and Likeness NIL without any equitable financial consideration to the Players or their Families! This lost Money could have a major impact on these Players lives, the lives of their current and future family members for generations? We do not support, or agree with the House vs NCAA Settlement or the current covert attempts to extend and expand this Antitrust exploitation of our young (mostly minority) FB & BB Players' labor that the US Supreme Court and Federal District Court have recently struck down as illegal and implausible.

[Recommending Journal Article #3] 'Conditional Pension Funds to Combat Cheating in Sporting Contests: Theory and Experimental Evidence' by Qin Wu, Ralph-C Bayer, and Liam J.A. Lenten (2020) - A New Approach: Researchers propose a novel anti-doping policy where athletes contribute a portion of their earnings to a pension fund, accessible only post-career and if they’ve remained doping-free. - Advantages Over Traditional Methods: This scheme maintains its deterrent effect throughout an athlete’s career and addresses delayed detection of doping with modern testing methods. - Empirical Evidence: Laboratory experiments comparing fines, bans, and conditional pension funds suggest this new policy may be more effective at deterring doping and promoting fair competition. - Implications for Sports Integrity: The study offers a fresh perspective on combating doping, potentially reshaping anti-doping measures in sports for better long-term outcomes. Feel free to share your thoughts on this innovative policy and its potential impact on the world of competitive sports.

Most Feds will not reach the SES ranks; the SES is no different than flag officers in the military - the tip of the pyramid with little room for so many people. While SESes receive the same general fixed-pension and TSP retirement benefits as rank-and-file employees and lower-level managers, they receive or are eligible to receive perks like a paid move at the end of their career, carry-over of 720 hours of annual leave to cash out upon retirement, and eligibility for bonuses and Presidential Rank Awards worth thousands of dollars. Their "Rolodexes" are also worth their "weight in gold", having made connections that might land them very well-paying jobs as corporate executives others won't get. I'm not begrudging these leaders - many or most work very hard and have great responsibilities that take up a lot of time and create a great deal of stress, and they deserve extra compensation. For those who don't reach that level, you need to plan for your retirement as if you'll never work again and need to live on what you have saved during your career. Retiring Fed will help you navigate these challenges; be on the look-out for our launch later this year.
