Why in the hell is congress concerned about how much a football coach makes? Why is everyone so damn butt hurt about Brian Kelly coming to LSU?! I knew Notre Dame was a big deal but come on, this outrage is absurd. LSU is now the villain.

Who suggested this? Thomas 'Ears' Tubberville?

That's GREAT news for LSU! Let's say Congress steps in and caps all future coaches salaries at some level of peanuts. CBK is grandfathered in as the Big Kahuna at LSU.
I like it.

I think head coaches should make no more than one hundred thousand dollars a year

Yeah, apathy is exactly what they want.
I get it but we're where we are because these tyrant idiots take advantage of people not caring.

Meanwhile congressmen enter congress with little or modest wealth and leave in the 1%.

Way too low, that's about what I make and I am not even 50 yet. I'd say a couple of millions bucks at least. Do you have any idea how many hours in a day coaches have to work? It's not a 9 to 5 job.
Think again.

Congress should spend more time worrying about runaway inflation, a porous southern border, term limits, human trafficking, the supply chain crisis, stale economic growth, unprecedented federal overreach, geopolitical subterfuge and their own committee members sleeping with Chinese spies.
But Instead, let's worry about college football coach pay, and criminalizing the act of calling someone born with a dick "male".

These fricking career criminals are just bitching because they can’t figure out a way to skim some off of the top for themselves.

Do they have the same concerns about people like Pelosi becoming multi millionaires because of insider trading too?

Some members of Congress expressing concern over the growing magnitude of Coaching Salaries and suggesting placing a cap !
If they knew anything about how it works, most schools have university pay which a portion of their salary paid out to the coach and is approved by the university's board of supervisors. It's usually in the ball park of what they would pay a professor. That is all that can be considered coming from "tax-payer money". The rest all comes from boosters and athletic foundations.
Scott Woodward went away with our coaches receiving any university pay so congress cant tell a private foundation how much money they're allowed to pay employees. That's socialism to a T.
What that tells me is no doubt that congress member went to a private college where all the coaches' salaries are being funneled through and their administration doesn't want to shell out money like that.

And what those criminals leave out is how do they get elected and suddenly become filthy rich on a salary that takes years to get rich. Ask Nancy who has her husband get info from her on great upcoming deals she sets up for them.

A business that brings in over $90M in revenue and over $50M in profits annually pays its CEO $9M. The horror!

I haven’t seen anything about this.
Posted on 12/2/21 at 9:15 am to atltiger6487
And we are paying this coach 10% of gross revenue before he wins a single game.

Not sure that's the point to win the argument. The average CEO for a $50-$100 million company makes $418K. For a $100 million to $250 million company, it goes to $528K. (this was 2019 data, but double it and the point remains the same.
For a $1 billion company, the average total comp for the CEO was $2.8 million, so to get to $9.5 million in comp, you're looking at a multi-billion company.
In your example, the CEO makes 10% of revenue. Not many companies are going near that.

Mel Tucker got paid! I’m not mad at him.

The same Congress that won’t pass a law against their own insider trading.
Also, can we exempt private schools and schools like LSU that have athletic programs in the black from all these types of conversations?
