I wonder if students ever think about how this misplaced priority is screwing them!
The consolation here: at least he wasn't a Paterno!
Oh, BTW, Click here to get astounded by the gazillions that college coaches earn.
An analysis by USA TODAY found that in 2006 the average pay for major-college coaches was $950,000. ...Ha! I am willing to sell you a Taj Mahal for about 20 mil :)
The average compensation in 2011 is $1.47 million, a jump of nearly 55% in six seasons.In the six conferences with automatic Bowl Championship Series bids, the average salary rose from $1.4 million in 2006 to $2.125 million in 2011. That's a jump of about 52% — meaning salaries at schools in the other five major conferences are going up at roughly the same rate as they are at higher-profile schools."The hell with gold," higher education lawyer Sheldon Steinbach says. "I want to buy futures in coaches' contracts."Critics find it troubling that this rapid rise for coaches comes at a time when instructional spending at many schools has slowed or declined amid economic struggles and shrinking state education budgets.
