Message: [QUOTE="KnightBridgeAZ, post: 3679139, member: 591"] Yes, it is indeed self-created. Pretending otherwise is hypocrisy at its finest. Also, you are correct, some very fine coaches make far less than some highly paid, but perhaps less successful, coaches. That also doesn't change the factors in a discussion: - Coaches salaries as the highest paid in their state - which isn't uncommon - is simply idiotic when you recognize that they are working for --- an educational non-profit institution. - A not so well paid excellent coach expects better and better pay and pursues it from place to place. Yes this is free market. Yes, salaries are not determined based on the societal value of the position. But these are positions at non-profit educational institutions. Escalated beyond belief, IMO. - Salaries of professors - actually performing the work of the institution - make generally far less. Salaries of the higher executives vary, and some are very high indeed, but at least they are (supposedly) directly furthering the mission of the educational non-profit institution for which they work. Now - make the teams semi-pro, change how they are funded and "sponsored" by the college, and pay whatever you want. [/QUOTE]
