Controversy in College Chess
And you thought college football was controversial. Texas Tech chess coach Susan Polgar led the school to national championships in 2011 and 2012, but left Lubbock after her request for more than $1 million in funding for the program (including a salary of $250,000 for her and $150,000 for her husband, a fellow coach) was denied by the school. Polgar and her team landed at Webster University, where she has coached the past two Final Four champions. Now other schools are crying foul because Webster is spending so much more than other chess programs.
