Absolutely out-f***ing-rageous that there are public employees being paid millions of dollars...To do one of the most useless things on earth, coach amateur sports.

There's nothing outrageous about it at all. Those amateur sports that these men coach generate far, far more for their universities than the salaries they are paid. Saban, Calipari, Harbaugh - all of them are actually outstanding investments, unlike most government expenditures.

Sabin needs to ask for raise. That’s it? Really, I thought he made much more than that. Alabama Football brings in a ton of money. Roll Tide.

I used to waste my Sundays on football, but after the kneeling crap, I have found Saturdays are much better to watch football, and Sunday’s are better to kneel before our Almighty!

Hillary Clinton got hundreds of Millions of $’s to the Clinton Foundation when she was SoS. The rest of these people are pikers compared to her.

Many of those colleges have professors which advocate at least some aspects of socialism. Yet the big universities are downright capitalist when it comes to paying head coaches and football coordinators. They know the better head coaches bring in more ticket sales and sales of team clothing and other paraphernalia. Also, if the head coaches don’t win enough games and they’re fired without cause, they get either the full base salary for the remainder of their contracts or at least buyout payments that are agreed upon in their contracts. Most small college head coaches at the NCAA Division III or NAIA level get paid less than $100,000 a year due to less revenue produced.

Yes, several other SEC coaches make over one million. That’s ok with me. It is a business that brings money to the university, the community, city, and the state.
