Message: [QUOTE="UnknownOrange, post: 2327493, member: 4689"] A lot of solid questions but my main point is this The value of an education maybe hasn't changed all that much. But college athletics and their revenues have exploded. Take someone like Bear Bryant. Highest paid coach in his time and most would agree he is the best coach of his area and maybe of all time. In 1956 he signed a 10 year deal and it seems that he made around 175K a year. That's 1.4 million in today's money. That is what a top notch COORDINATOR makes today. All this money that was brought in was used to pay all these coaches and admins and facilities and blah blah blah and then act like they couldn't have figured out how to pay the players. It's a weak argument. They could follow an Olympic model and be done with it [/QUOTE]
