Coaching Pay is crazy

All I'm saying is that its absurd that Tuition and books continue to rise every yr and students have to suffer the consequences. Even though colleges continue to up the millions they pay to coaches. Education is the primary reason for the existence of Universities yet they are bein ran as a business for mere profit and not as an institution intended for educating our young adults. It seriously has gotten out of hand. Are any of you currently paying back student loans? I would say not? Seriously jus google the problems of the student loan crisis u may yet be surprised its worse than u think........... Oh and I don't care what boosters do with there money they honestly have plenty of it.. I just hope they are not donating it to places they shouldn as it looks like a lot of them are doin with all the NCAA investigations in place. I guess collegiate athletics are way out of hand these days. Time for some programs to get what they deserve....... Please show clause KIFFIN AND O FOR LIFE.

You are ridiculously uninformed. Major college athletic programs generating tens of millions of dollars in both revenue and profit every year. High paid coaches are paid maybe 10-15% of the profit their programs generate for their institutions and their states.

2010 UT Football:
Revenue: $29,000,000
Profit: $15,000,000

Do us all a favor and try thinking before you post.

Exactly. Be it right or wrong athletics are the face of the university, what the general public sees of a school as witnessed by this quote from Bear Bryant (yes I know quoting Bear is akin to sin, no flaming please)
How many people watch you give a final exam? [About fifty is the reply.] Well, I have 50,000 watch me give mine - every Saturday!

An example of what athletics do for a university would be Baylor's 1974 SWC football championship. In 1975 applications for admission increased by over 40% allowing the school to be more selective of it's student body and donations to the university as a whole reached an all time high. This trend has held true for each following successful athletic campaign and has trended downward in years that the athletic department has been deemed a failure as a whole.

The University of Houston has a new $40 million academic facility under construction with an estimated 20 year useful life span before it has to be totally remodeled due to advances in technology. Though the structure is being built with mostly private donations others will also have to share in it's cost. State of the art education comes at a high cost. This is but one of the problems that face all centers of higher learning. Yet another problem is tenured faculty...think Wisconsin teachers.

Non revenue sports are the single most drain of income to athletic depts but can be a major asset when played at a champion level. Baylor's NCAA championships in Men's Tennis and WBB were major factors in overall increases to donations to the schools general revenue fund. I would speculate that Coach Pat's success in WBB has had the same effect plus the fact that her program is self sustaining.

Title IX has killed many men's sports regardless of revenue. A local university gave up football mainly because they were going to have to add several revenue draining female sports that had ABSOLUTELY ZERO interest from the public like equestrian or curling or some crap like that. The end result was to cut out football completely, which basically broke even, rather than keep it, add the women's programs to comply, and then be massively in the hole.

I am not knocking women's sports. I coach a women's sports team (no not rec legue either). But when programs are cut because of 'fairness' it's a crying shame.

I feel ya Jay. I had a buddy that pitched at SMU in '79 and had to transfer to OU as a soph because SMU dropped baseball due to Title IX. He ended up transferring to Baylor his final two seasons due to life/death in the Bud Wilkenson dorms at OU.
