Message: [QUOTE="Shrmdougluvr, post: 5405671, member: 396"] I think the coaches started this. A bunch of glorified gym teachers (credit [USER=716]OttoMets[/USER] ) getting paid millions upon millions (guaranteed) when almost none of them are actual difference makers (Saban, Harbaugh, Meyer - that's the least of unassailable difference makers). They kept making more and more, coming and going as they pleased, while treating the players like chattel. That's where the fundamental fairness issue lies. I guess at the true core, it does actually go back to fans. Fans care too much and that caring (taking the form of financial support) is the real driver I suppose. They are the ones that allowed coaching salaries to inflate. And they're the ones now buying players left and right with absolutely no return on investment. [/QUOTE]
