certainly, however the insanity of coach’s salaries certainly isn’t helping the cause.
I just think it’s a shame that college athletics have gotten to the point where some of the coaches are being paid more than the pro’s. In Saban’s case, he is paid more than all but 7 NFL Head Coaches and ONLY Greg Popovich is paid more as a coach in the NBA. There’s not a manager in MLB or coach in the NHL making within $5 million annually of Saban…
I just think it’s a bit of a slap in the face to the idea of amateur athletics. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t disagree that a CFB coach should be well compensated, but $11 million+ annually for what is supposedly amateur athletics paid out by a ‘non profit’ entity is a bit insulting at face value
