Message: [QUOTE="HuskyMJ, post: 3047317, member: 2096"] I'm not saying there should be a cap, but you bring up economics. If an athletic department is tens of millions of dollars in debt, why are they outbidding themselves to raise the salary so much of a coach whose program loses money? There are athletics departments like Stanford that make enough money to rationalize overpaying for a lot of sports coaches in the non revenues. But a lot of schools don't have that money. In fact, many of these schools are using money from students or taxpayers to run their athletic department. I think those universities should have some responsibility to be good stewards of that money. [I]At a time of tight budgets throughout higher education, even the nation's few financially self-sufficient major-college athletics departments are continuing to receive subsidies in the form of student fees, school or state support, a USA TODAY Sports analysis finds.
