You DO know that he went to school and got his education before he got paid, right? Bad analogy on your part. He probably had to pay for his education...go to school for 4 years (I am guessing he has a doctorate) and is now making less than most NFL players. (Or at least less than the top players)

But what does he do to bring the conference value? The sports programs bring in the value. He doesn't have to sell a damn thing because the product sales itself.

Aren't they actively involved with television contracts, negotiations for the SEC Network? I'm sure a lot of other things. I'll see if I can find out, because I honestly don't know.
