OSU AD bitching about an Alabama, etc. coach’s pay? Like WTF?!
OSU, the richest athletic department in the NCAA
It’s nobody’s business but the ones involved.
If it were HIS salary, he wouldn’t call it ‘ridiculous’................
NCAA.... pay every person involved!!! Except the players...
Urban will get that kind of money when Notre Dame goes after him.
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?)
Informative 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!
Most of the money paid to college coaches comes from big time boosters and rich alumni, product deals and paid coaches shows.

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...
It’s because we can
The top college athletic departments are taking in 200 million, and most of that is from football.

Nick Saban is the most Underpaid public servant in the state of Alabama, based on what he returns to the University.
ROLL TIDE
Truly the best commercial ever. It’s actually not too far from the truth. Saban is worth whatever it takes. Roll Tide!
He needs to cut Meyer’s salary. He had no problem when he hired Meyers for what was a large salary at the time.
He’s worried about keeping up with the Joneses.
On the other hand, maybe he needs to pay Meyers what Michigan pays their coach.
