Using the B1G and any northern conference as an example is not helping your case. Northern schools spend more money on BBall, hockey, wrestling, and Lacrosse than we do, like way more. We don't even field some of the sports they have.

As far as Football being the cash cow, it usually is, but their other sports make a shite ton too esp hockey

Fine. I will come back south.

Miami- one of the best programs the last 30 years- doesn't even pay their head coach $2.5 million a year. His CV sucks, but you figure just being the coach of a southern elite program would make at least half what Sumlin makes. Why doesn't the Miami job pay more? Because of the internal politics fueled by someone who was in a Democratic presidential cabinet.

Politics matters when it comes to these institutions that are very high profile, and often are publicly funded. The reason I brought up Wincy is because when the last coach left I remember more than one thread on their forum wondering if they could pay coaches SEC money. Many thought they couldn't due to how "bad it would look."
