First, MOST schools do NOT make much if any on college football and Second, WTF does a coaches salary have to do with college FB players(and ALL THE REST of that colleges sports team)getting paid ? All the money that schools make goes to the rest of the sports team that LOSE a LOT of money.

This is largely do the inordinate salaries being given to coaches by half of these teams.

It's really easy to say pay the players since everyone else is making bank, when this is supposed to be amateur athletics. Free education, room and board, seems to be worthless now to most people.

Do you want to kill major college sports or are you a tulane fan who is just pissed that your team is never going to be a factor in college FB?

So I am a Tulane fan because I don't want business people making bank without putting back into the system. If you are a business, which college sports, and college football in particular are, then you should get no tax and anti-trust exemption status. We've allowed it to be turned into a business, and so now it should be treated and held accountable as such.
