How 'bout the # of assistants. Clemson had more assistants than players. Ridiculous.

 

[skurey]

How about they receive free tuition, a dorm room and some meal vouchers?

Yeah this stuff is crazy. Schools like Alabama and Clemson have like 80 people on staff for their football programs. I mean Bama has former P5 head coaches working as analysts. That's ridiculous. Saban gets all the credit but that program just cares about winning way more than others.

So much State and University money going to waste.

Is it? At the factories, those programs are profitable. It's really more of a picture of how people, donors, care more about the success of their football teams than they do about helping people in need like hungry kids, wounded soldiers, etc.

It's amazing to look at how much more money flows into college sports now simply through charitable giving and how that money could go to fund so many worthwhile charities.

There is no guarantee nor correlation that not spending on one charity means the money will go to another. Additionally, you assume because someone donates to a football program they don't care about others. Do you take the same position for people who donate to the woman's rowing team? Basically, your argument is that I would have used my SU donation elsewhere AND I don't care about others/give to other charities. Sorry, you're wrong on both account.

Lastly, check out some of these worthwhile charities. There are many more charities that have many more people and much more money than any individual college program.

My initial point was that university dollars aren't being wasted because big time programs aren't relying on them. Look at the post I responded to.

There are X number of dollars to go around. If they go one place, they don't go to another. I do believe the way people spend their money reflects their priorities.

I never said people shouldn't donate to a university or athletics program. However, the amount of dollars being donated so that certain programs can have meaningless putting greens, locker rooms with individual tv's, nap rooms, a ridiculous number of unnecessary support staff, etc is excessive.

Sure, many worthwhile charities have a lot of employees and a lot if money. Many charities that claim to be worthwhile don't use their money wisely and are borderline scams. Most importantly, there's still lots of unmet need.

I don't know how you spend your money. I don't know whether you care about people and/if how you help them. I hope you do because for some reason this hit a nerve for you. I don't know why you took this personally.

College coaching salaries are laugh out loud funny and anyone who would like to argue with me please be ready to defend Iowa's $800,200 Strength and Conditioning coach.

I hate this idea. Why not give the G5 conferences so of the money that the P5 conferences generate from TV money as well.
No salary cap.

Absurd that people are supporting someone's earning potential be capped. You would be kicking and screaming if the same were to happen to you.

Yep in theory I'm very much against it for this reason. If my only consideration was the competitiveness of Syracuse, I might have another opinion.

why does it matter. He's worth what the organization believes he's worth.

It's essentially what we do by limiting a player's compensation to the scholarship package.

Which is why some people call the way the NCAA runs things similar to that of a plantation.
Players should get more. They are the ones generating the revenue.
Coaches deserve whatever they can get.

It matters to me when all of the coaches, admins, presidents, commissioners, etc are making ungodly amounts of money and the students have gotten the exact same thing they've gotten since scholarships became a thing.

How much did strength coaches make in 1990?

All this money goes everywhere except the player

Isn't that what pro athlete salary caps do?

They should cap how nice the facilities are.

While they’re at it, they should cap the weather. Why do some kids get to go to nice weather schools while others have to trudge through the snow?
