It is sickening the proliferation of huge salaries to college football coaches.

The colleges’ Nobel Prize winning scientist scholars get a pittance comparatively.

The mission of the universities should be academic instruction and research, not football.

Yes, football makes a lot of money but it is all kept and spent within the athlete department.

What a joke!

I hate to quibble, but the Nobel Prize is more corrupt than anything in college sports. In fact, of all the stuff big education does, sports is less corrupt than almost any other facet, including the tenure system and their cronyism with government. And since the money for football stays in the athletic department, they will pay the coach OUT of that very same money.

Not saying that college football isn't corrupt, just that it's not as corrupt as some institutions you apparently revere.

$48 million?

But there will be hell to pay if one of the kids on the team accepts a free meal.
