And they aren’t just giving her a 60% raise to match another offer. They would literally have hundreds of applicants for that job at $58k.

I know people who work in athletics as well, real jobs that matter to the teams start at like $40k because so many people will take it just to get their foot in the door

Also worth noting that University athletic staff are also typically beholden to state guidelines regarding public employees and fraternizing between supervisor and supervisee. You also usually have to disclose that to an HR department if you do intend to have a relationship and that usually means a transfer to another department.
