Is UM not a public institution? As of 2013, the highest paid public employee on 39 of our states were college head football and/or basketball coaches.

Did you read the article? [Rhetorical question] College football programs are hugely profitable. Harbaugh’s salary certainly will not come from tax revenue.

Given the ginormous NCAA tv money, and stadium receipts, I think it’s safe to say that football at top line universities like UofM is a profit center not a cost.

They are a public employee, but that does not mean their salaries are paid via state taxes.
