The kind of money being paid to college coaches these days is totally insane and beyond all realm of common sense. How long can it go on and how high? How many times are we going to see colleges basically gamble millions and millions of dollars on a guy who they HOPE will win them ENOUGH football games? The reality is that the large majority of colleges will spend those millions betting wrong because the large majority of college coaches end up proving that they were overpaid.
If you use the analogy of the head football coach being the CEO of the football program and Michigan's football program taking in $80 million dollars last year, it means you are paying your CEO ten percent of gross income. If it were a publicly traded company the stockholders would rightfully be in full scale revolt. It would be like the CEO of General Electric making $8 BILLION a year!
