It’s a state school. Any “profits” they make should be getting plowed back into education (or, heaven forbid, a rebate for the long-suffering taxpayers)
Of course down here in Pennsylvania we don’t overpay our coaches. We just bow down and worship them like gods.
You are not going to fill 100+ K Michigan Stadium with a losing program. UM fans screamed bloody murder about the Coke promotion this year; free UM tickets by buying a Coke. If the administration did not bring in Harbaugh and the football program continued to mire in mediocrity profits from the athletic program would drop like a rock. Some people claim that Nick Saban considering all the money he brings in from his top flight ‘Bama program is vastly underpaid.
I havent seen his contract yet but I bet the majority of his pay is booster money as it is for most major programs. However when you consider the amount of money a major program can earn for a University any cries over how much the HC gets paid is based in an absolute vacuum of economic knowledge
Only if the GOD was JoePa...
