My point is that Education should come first then football, but I know football makes the school alot of money but there are other areas the school needs to fund

At Florida, just as at UT, the athletic department and the academic side are funded separately. Thus, Meyer's salary has no effect on how much money is provided to the academicians.

For the same reason that every time a UT coach gets a raise, some idiot writes a letter to the editor bemoaning that professors don't get paid enough. Academicians can't live with the fact that the marketplace values coaches more than them and the top athletic departments in the country are Fortune 500 quality companies while the academic side is as incompetent as Freddie Mac.

Not only are most major college athletic depts self-funded, but a good deal of them regularly give seven-figure donations to the academic side to help bail them out.

Know what you're talking about before starting a thread like this.

Well unlike you I care about wether or not these kids are getting the best education they can and as you can see more important things are getting cut but football lives on. Don't get me wrong I love football and I've been a UT fan or football fan all my life but somtimes education needs to come first for once. Also you don't have to be an A$$ becuase someone made a thread like this

Wow. That was a nice way to miss the point completely.

I also think education should come first.

The athletic & academic depts budgets are mutually exclusive (that means one does not affect the other), unless its the athletic dept donating $$ to help out.

So your argument is irrelevant. (Do you understand why now?)

Thread over.

The NFL is a career opportunity. No different than being a ENG, DOC, or like Hat, an ATT. College football is like an preparing ground for the NFL. The great thing about it is, those that do not make it that far, can get a free education, and have a career in something else of their choosing.

And to borrow a line from the movie "The Program". When was the last time you saw 105,000 people show up for a chemistry experiment.

That is the way it is

Raise your hand if you take a prescription medicine on a regular basis. In this state alone, more than 1 million people per day show up for a chemistry experiment of monumental proportions. Science 1, Athletics 0. :rock:

Like it or not, people enjoy athletics enough to continue funding it. So long as my tax dollars aren't funding collegiate or pro athletics, I don't care if they provide the head coach with a concubine and a space shuttle. It's none of my business until my dollars become involved.

And when Fortune 500 companies have divisions or product lines that are not generating revenue, they either restructure or they eliminate them. It's all about making money, after all and "market value". Would you suggest the same approach with athletic departments?

"There is a hitch in Machen's projections. LSU coach Les Miles is the conference's top-paid coach, at $3.751 million a year, and he has an escalator clause in his deal that ensures he remains that way."

How the hell did Miles get those idiots to agree to his contract? He went 8-5 last year!

NCAA rules forbid athletic departments to get rid of non-revenue generating sports. I'm sure athletic departments would get rid of them if they had the choice and if they knew they wouldn't get publicly criticized by their decision.
