Well, if Saban and his ilk weren’t paid so much many, many more good things could happen with the money— like maybe more academic scholarships or cheaper text books or tutors available to non-athletes or whatever. Don,t ignore the obvious—the tickets are going to be bought regardless of whether the average coaches salary is $1,000,000 or $100,000.
You sure your on the right site. Your redistribution scheme is stupid. It’s not a zero sum economy. My goodness ignorance is high here. It didn’t used to be this way. Have you even looked up who pays that money? Rich booster mostly. That’s good because they give funds to other items like academics. There are also endorsements deals that pay him and the university.
Sagan makes the university way more than he costs. It bleeds over to other areas. Football pays for all the women sports also.
