ESPN Article from Heather Dinich on Coaches' Salaries

[javadoc]

I can't direct link to it, but it's on the scroll for ESPN's college football section, somewhere below the first "Bottom 10" list. Title is "Many Schools on track to spend more..." Worth a quick read. It's a bad look IMO and it will bite the state schools first, but it's inevitable unless something is done. Which I have more to say about, but no time to type it all up. Some will be relieved.

Study: Football coach pay to soar by player costs

The Knight Commission has projected a "crossover point" in college athletics, when in the next decade the compensation for football coaches will exceed the amount spent on athlete scholarships and medical expenses at many Power 5 schools.

Schools are spending more on football coaches than the scholarship and all associated costs with the student athletes themselves.

Biggest culprits are SEC of course

I have this suspicion that some of this money is being back doored into NIL pools. Just a suspicion.

The cost of the scholarships at the state schools is far less than the private schools. Every school will have a different threshold.
I doubt Syracuse will cross that threshold.
