Eli makes more money than his brother who saves lives too.

The doctors should enter the portal. IMO

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.

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

All this tells me is Eli is way overpaid for mediocrity

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

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

Imagine what players at UGA, Bama, LSU, etc are making if he is worried about Mizzoo players

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.

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.

NVM he's making $6mm now just looked it up... holy shite the irony of his statement

Dude makes $6 million a year.

90% of those players will make 40k a year after they are done with "college". Your brother will he fine.

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

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!

Most of them couldn’t spell doctor.

All college players are now a days.

Is he wrong?

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

LSU82Cajun•12 months

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’

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.
