College football will soon have a correction, I think the NCAA is going to have to step and control the market for coaches by a salary cap... if they don't too many universities are going to get hurt with this arms race controlled by big boosters who love their football.. thoughts?

The correction won’t come from the NCAA. They have no leverage or power in football. It will come with the TV contracts are done and that big revenue stream is gone. Once that’s over, it isn’t coming back. ESPN and Fox are hemorrhaging money and direct subscriptions won’t replace it. Football will survive, but some programs may not, and things are going to get scaled back. It is a near certainty that the bubble will burst, as every market bubble ever in the history of Capitalism has.

At least O wanted the dang job...

Should never be spoken again as a criteria for hiring a coach. Plenty of other good HCs wanted to coach LSU, i promise.

Actually 1.5 mill was a lot in 1999.

Its 2018. Saban, meyer, les miles, etc have been making north of 4 million for the past 15 years numb nuts.

Man, I cant take these fans that dont know shite about what is going on

Over how long tough? And my math might be off, but i dont see how you get to 90-100.

Les and O only make up like $18m over the next 3....where's the other 80m coming from?

Sorry thought we were talking about LSU...ignore.

In a perfect world, the NCAA Sports arms of institutions would be privatized into non-university entities with only a contractual relationship with an institution - ie, not intimately related in any measure. Let the individual institution work out contracts with these "Clubs" for free tuition/scholarships. Let these entities pay players and make money however they see fit. Let them discuss any monetary needs, goals with each other separately.

This will free sports arms from the pressures of non-revenue generating sports, and free the institutions from the constraints of mixing profit enterprises with a for-profit business.

Let institutions continue rec and club sports, as it should be.

Most would probably disagree, but this will be messy as long as things stay the way they are now. I'd prefer this to any kind of price/revenue controls.

Worth every penny. Look at the academic and economic impact Saban has at Alabama. He’s underpaid by a lot.

LSU just doesn’t have the forward thinking to realize the football program is an investment.
