I'm just throwing this out there, but since schools don't have to pay on-field talent that revenue doesn't just disappear.  It goes somewhere.

Coaches in the college game are [B]WAY[/B] overpaid because the market is rigged.  If schools were allowed to acquire talent based on how much they are willing to spend, guys like Nick Saban wouldn't be such massive difference makers and worth the extra scratch for the additional wins he generates.  In pro sports, you can have the greatest coach in the world and it doesn't matter nearly as much.

Bill Belichek is arguably the greatest modern NFL coach and he makes $7.5m a year with the same restrictions on talent acquistion as the rest of the league.  Nick Saban, a poor NFL coach, makes $7m a year for [U]college [/U]where the talent acquisition is incredibly lopsided for reasons not related to talent cost.

College lose money on athletics through accounting like how[URL='http://i.usatoday.net/sports/_photos/2012/05/16/Weis-still-getting-millions-from-Notre-Dame-291G7LDK-x-large.jpg'] major movies rarely show an official profit.[/URL]
