The irony being lost, I'm sure, by most ITT is that almost all of the coaches getting these paydays..... ARE former players. There are plenty of guys who played for your school that I'm sure are on your FB staff in some capacity right now for no other reason than they played ball there. Every school as an alumni network that looks to put these guys to work based heavily on the fact that they played ball. If your school is worth a damn, and everyone in this conference is, if the players have the qualifications needed and ask for help career wise, it is given to them. There are many opportunities to get ahead that have nothing to do with the NFL.

Flip side of that is: how many of those opportunities are afforded to the non-athlete population?

Most regular students can start companies or make money off their name. If they offered enough value they'd get paid for it. Hell zuckerberg started FB in college. The UCF kicker, Gurley, Manziel all made money off their names and faced penalties for it. It's hilarious watching conservative spin socialism as a good thing while hating the free marketplace when it comes to CFB and CBB. The mental gymnastics is astonishing.
