It's okay as long as they don't make more than the coaches though.

Olivia Dunne makes 3x’s more than her gymnastics coach
Angel Reese & Hailey Van Lith make 75% of what Kim Mulkey makes. So it’s great for them. Coaches have to understand times a changin’

His broinlaw ain't saving lives left and right like some of you think. He's lining his pockets with hypochondriac mothers bringing their running nose kids in and being charged out the arse for unneeded tests and scripts that insurance companies or taxpayers are picking up the tab for.

"oh my health, oh my healthcare, oh my healthcare provider, OMG" ...brainwashed pansies!

You ain't sick! Now get back to living!

Drink got a raise and extension without a winning season. He needs to keep his mouth shut.

He thinks college players are getting overpaid (or shouldn’t be paid). I’d say most college professors probably think college coaches are getting overpaid.

One of the worst coaches in the SEC making a shite ton of money talking about a few, I MEAN MAYBE A LESS THAN FIVE players making some money. Also, they are making it over a couple of years. They are also destroying their bodies to make that money.

He’s not wrong. This is out of control. Like way out of control. Even the NFL has a salary cap.

Which is pretty communist. I like the free market college way of handling things.

Such a strange time. Many WNBA players take a massive pay cut.

Don't worry Drink... Most of them will be dead arse broke in 4-5 years. Pediatricians in it for the long haul.

Eli makes $1.4mm and he doesn't even take the health risks the players do by coaching. He also doesn't save any lives. I guess it's time to cut his salary.

And every SEC coach, coordinator, and most position coaches are being paid more than his BIL pediatrician too.
