Congress looking into capping college coaches salaries

I don't see why national legislation is necessary. Private schools of course should be exempt in terms of how they allocate their funds and the state institutions should be governed by of course their respective state. No reason for congress to step in on this matter. Of course its Wisconsin who's leading this charge. They've always been notoriously cheap when it comes to paying coaches.

Rebecca Blank, chancellor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, testified in a Senate hearing Tuesday morning that she would "be more than happy" to discuss the possibility of an antitrust law exemption that would grant colleges the power to curb the rapidly increasing salaries of coaches in college sports.
quote:
"I think that is appropriate for college sports," Blank told the members of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions. "I think it is somewhat outrageous that the highest-paid employee in many states is their state university college coach."
quote:
State laws that go into effect as soon as next summer are expected to expand the ways in which college athletes can make money. The NCAA and other college sports stakeholders have asked Congress to create a uniform rule for all 50 states. College leaders have said that rule should restrict athletes in ways that coaches and others in college sports are not restricted.

According to this logic they should be able to pay the kids as well.

Not really. Those private schools are voluntary members of the NCAA. They can pay their students whatever they want. They just can't participate in NCAA sanctioned athletics if they do.
ETA: If you are a voluntary member of an organization and you don't like that organizations rules or the ability to change them then you need to leave the organization.

Once again congress trying to frick up every single thing in which they get involved. frick every government ever.

So dumb, there is no need for regulation. If the schools can pay, then let them pay. Athletics budgets are different than the education budget.

frick both university officials and elected officials for even mentioning this. These are two groups of dictatorships that want the rules not to apply to them.
Yes he reality isn’t these college coaches bring in revenue based off of performance. But let’s make everyone equal. This world is such a shite show.

Right. If the school doesn't want to pay their coach some absurd amount they don't have to. Blame the ADs who gave out these huge contracts and the board of trustees who approve them. If that fricks their budget that's their fault.

Cap Congresses terms first then worry about other people's employment.

Um, majority of Coachs salary is paid for by boosters.
And frick these useless politicians, who have no problem doing NOTHING 365 days a year, and after 4 years get a full pension.
Yeah, frick those shite heads on both aisles

If they want to cap public funds that's one thing. But even then how a state or state run university wants to spend their money should be up to the state/university obviously so long as there isn't any kind of corruption going on.
It would certainly be a huge government overreach to prevent private funds from paying a salary. Then you're legislating what people can and cannot donate charitably to.

And let the tv execs and University big whigs keep the ever increasing revenue? The SEC is going to get a windfall of cash when they sign their new tv deal in the next year. Of course college staffs are entitled to more money.

You're wasting your time. No matter how many times this gets said it just won't sink in for some people. I'm glad congress has solved all the more pressing problems in this country so they could move on to college fricking coaching salaries.

When a coach wants to leave, the college should be able to tell him where he can’t go to like they do the players

Schools ain’t footing the bill for most of these deals.
The school pays a base amount per season and the booster club pays out numerous amounts based on performance on the field and performing certain duties (weekly radio / TV show, etc).
If/when a buyout is paid, the lion’s share is offered up by big donors rather than being paid by the school.
