Too much. It's already ridiculous how much some of these coaches make. IF its all incentive based, then its a whole other story, but guaranteeing coaches $15-$20+ Million is utterly stupid.

The real question is how did it escalate so quick? Alabama buying $abun in yet another attempt at buying championships (and this time it looks as though its going to work) have upped the ante. It is now a coaching arms race. I hope LSU will keep up. Not just in salary but their approach in who they go after. It should no longer be frowned upon to go after another major D1 coach like a Bob Stoops or a Urban Meyer (just examples). Offer em 7-8 mil and make them tell you no if nothing else to make the other school match it.

It bumped up in a big way thanks to Weiss, Carroll, and a few others that got huge money to stay at their current schools. Saban set the public school mark in 2007 when he took over at Bama, but contracts are set up to escalate based on NCs. That was the biggest mistake, and you can heavily thank the Agent Sexton for all this crap. He played schools back and forth for money and basically got 1/3 of NCAA FBS coaches raises.
Think about Saban's salary in 2003 following the MNC: around $2.5M

It will depend on howm much the schools are bringing in.
The reason Brown is making 5MM at UT is because, AT UT, he's worth it.

if you'd have told me in 1999 that mack brown would be making 5 million dollars a year in 2009 i'd had told you that you were NUTS

According to university officials, football revenues have quadrupled under Brown, from $21.3 million in 1997 to $87.5 million in 2008. That figure is expected to grow again this year. Texas sold a school-record 84,000 season tickets this year.

Texas has raised Brown's salary more than 500 percent since his first $750,000 deal signed in 1997. Texas has given Brown restructured deals with raises in 1999, 2000, 2002, 2005 and 2007.
Wow and wow.

Also there will be fewer teams in all divisions.

It is a business -
I am brought in as a coach for X amount
->I revitalize the program (alumni, fans etc...)
-> win bowls
-> fill up seats
-> sell merchandise
-> subsequently good PR for school
-> increase revenue (often in tens of millions of dollars)
I don't think there is anything wrong in paying a few million or guaranteeing several million for such a person.
Carly Fiorina brought into to revitalize HP or Brian Kelly to ND -> its the same thing.
