I mean this bidding war for Nick Saban has gone out of hand. Every year at this time Jimmy Sexton becomes the king of college football.
I mean a college kid has to go to school, maintain a reasonable GPA and also have to play like a pro athelete and then get ripped to shreads by the media, fan base, espn etc and get no more than free tuition and dorm room lodging. And coaches, get millions of dollars? What the ****.

Say what you want about the tenets of national Socialism, Dude, but at least it's an ethos.

do you really think it would work?

They cant- dont believe the antitrust exemption extends to private contracts.

Bear Bryant used to take the same salary as the highest paid department chair at the university of alabama. the man has won more conference and national titles than anyone.
Coaches are like mercinaries. Today, they are coaching for your school, tomorrow they are coaching your dividion/ conference rival.
When players transfer, they have to sit out an year. However coaches can quit whenever they want, abandon their program and coach a rival school.
when coaches cheat at recruiting, they get fired and rehired. when a program gets into trouble, the program faces ncaa sanctions. when a college athelete takes money, he is rendered inelligible.

I would be in favor of states capping salaries, no football coach can make more than the governor. Than i would be in favor of ticket prices dropping to about 25 bucks.

No. The salary escalation is part of the inevitable separation between the big time programs and the pretenders. Those that can't keep up will eventually be left behind in a different division.

Yeah, because Bryant was such an upstanding man

You realize the university doesn't pay the salary, right?
Comparing anything to the bears day it's fricking asinine. My grandpa used to say nobody was worth more than $50 a day too. Times change.

The NCAA can prevent its coaches from signing private contracts with boosters, athletic foundations etc
Posted on 12/15/13 at 11:53 am to mike4lsu
even if the "salaries" were capped---boosters and donors at high-profile programs would find other ways to generously compensate head coaches

Great minds.

It would probably take an act of congress and not the NCAA.

Just what we need...... More legislation to control free enterprise.
Brilliant idea.
