re: Proposed Federal Law Seeks To Limit College Coaches Salaries

Of fricking course a Democrat is the one that’s gone be mortified.

The football programs at the big universities is usually what generates money for the schools.

Yes, there are a few basketball colleges but nothing in comparison to what good ole football brings in.

When the football program actually generates a crap ton of revenue and gives money back to the school at LSU, paying the head coach a bunch of money is something the university should do.

I may be incorrect here, but doesn’t the LSU football program alone bring in nearly $4B annually?

This is what's kind of infuriating about it. Athletics bring in millions and millions to the schools and the high salaries are paid through other means -- not tuition and not through fees or public funding. Yet, the millions raked in by the sports aren't going just to the athletics departments, in most cases.

You have to imagine the schools don't want this.

I get that the optics might be bad for schools to furlough professors and instructors during budget strains while the football coach makes 5 million -- but their salaries come from completely different places.

Ohio University professor David Ridpath told CBS Sports. "As a public institution, you shouldn't be building a lazy river or paying a strength coach a million dollars."

Probably has no problem with professors making $300k+ and granted full tenure.

I see value in making public universities truly non-profit in all areas. One could argue unis are there to provide a service to the general population, not serve as a professional sports team.
