It’s nobody’s business but the ones involved.
If it were HIS salary, he wouldn’t call it ‘ridiculous’................

IMHO, Saban is worth every penny. Roll Tide! BTW, have you seen the video of him doing the Cupid Shuffle? It’s priceless!

Texas A&M is so stupid they paid a coach that was 6 and 4 - 75 million and to add insult to that they had negotiated such a poor contract with Sumlin that they had to pay him his full contract amount 10 million!! This is taxpayer money!!!

One of the interesting trends we’re seeing in football is that a top NCAA head coaching position is more attractive than an NFL job these days.

I’m a believer in pay for performance. Saban’s performance is what dictates his high salary. Maybe Meyer should step up his game and then he could command a higher salary as well. (I mean, Iowa, really?)

Booster money. The school itself doesn’t write that check.
Still nuts.

In prying Jimbo Fisher away from Florida StateInformative article overall, but facts are facts. I don't believe for a minute that A&M "pried" Jimbo; he was gonna be canned for underachieving despite having the prime-time recruits year after year.

Ohio State wants Urban Meyer to be the highest paid coach in the NCAA......but the other universities are paying their coaches TOO MUCH! LOL!

"One of the interesting trends were seeing in football is that a top NCAA head coaching position is more attractive than an NFL job these days." True. I don't watch the anti_American NFL anymore.

The NCAA hardly makes money from football. Their gravy train is March Madness with a little over a billion, however with a lot of overhead that goes towards every sport.
$$$ is collected by the Conferences and filtered to the individual colleges (Colleges also get their cut from home game attendance/appearance fees if away). This is where the football $$$$ goes to (And the rest of the collegiate sports).

Most of the money paid to college coaches comes from big time boosters and rich alumni, product deals and paid coaches shows.

...and the 800 pound gorilla in the room that no one is talking about is...
Chronic Traumatic Ecephalopathy, aka CTE.
A wise man predicted that the insurance companies will eventually cut off the football teams - presumably all of them, from the NFL all the way down to pee wee teams.
Crashing stop.
Enjoy it while we still can, one would suppose...
