A good football coach can get his team into a 6 million dollar bowl game. A better football coach will get his team into a 10 million dollar bowl game.
A great coach will get young boys buggered in the shower and his president fired. Our local high school is spending 3 million on a football field renovation.

It is as it should be. Think of football coaches as loss leaders. If they are successful they keep the alumni happy and sending in contributions, which I daresay more than compensate for the football coach's salary. Plus, FWIW, they work a hell of a lot harder than tenured professors.

Rex,
I almost hate to admit that I think you are right.

You've proven to me that you have no idea what it takes to get tenure and keep it at a major institution.

10 wins a season with a few bowl victories should do it.

I don't think a professors tenure or coaches tenure are related in any respect.
I also do not think that ANY jock of any type is worth a million dollars any way it can be figured.

Just takes a lot of money to do that and it seems that our so-called institutions of higher learning aren't that at all....

Sad that that is what is valued; pretty much defines society's values today and why college grads can't read or write, yet expect to be paid 6 figures.

They aren't, yet schools are willing to spend millions for a coach to make more millions -- yup, that's why a college education that used to be worth something is now barely a soiled ticket to apply to grad school....

Yup, and think about all those professional sport teams that can command millions of dollars of taxpayer money so they can build new stadium every few years so they can continue to make billions of dollars for themselves and oh yes THE ATHLETES.

But then what would we do without "Sports Illustrated, The Swimsuit Issue" :lol: :lol: :lol:
