What in your opinion is ridiculous amounts of money? how much do you think they should cap coaches salaries at?
Depends on the amount you pay the actual laborers (players) who are actually doing the real work (playing the game). Without players, the coach is meaningless regardless of how much you pay him or how good he is at his job.

Neither are the individual players in college football. You think Tiger Stadium would have been any less sold out if Leonard Fournette had never stepped on campus? College football (thank goodness) hasn't sold its soul to marketing the players over the team the way the NBA and (to a lesser extent) the NFL have. So, what exactly is Fournette's value? Tiger fans are coming for the tailgating, Saturday Night in Death Valley, TGBFTL and general atmosphere more than the individual player.

The cost to the university of the degree and room/board pales in comparison to the value one of the 85 scholarship football players provide.
What's the value of the sixth defensive back on the team? How about the sixth offensive lineman? What about the third quarterback?
About 5-10 percent of these guys across 130 FBS teams might be worth more than a regular college scholarship. The rest of are getting more than a bargain.

So, it is your opinion that the coaches bring no value to the game? They don't do any "actual work"?

Sounds like a load of Socialism to me. No other industry (That I know of) ties the salary of management to the salary of workers. Young people today are nuts. They want everything regulated and want to control everything people do, say and the amount of money they can make.

Good example. But lets take this one step further. What is the value of the player that gets into one game a year for 7 snaps? How much money are they taking in for the University, and yet they will get the same $200,000 benefits of education etc that the superstar does.
quote:Exactly. And when you consider the 95% of the players that never go to the NFL, they get added benefit in the form of jobs and salaries received from the education they got.
