Message: [QUOTE="Bama fan, post: 3679688, member: 7757"] I am not surprised that the coaches make so much more than the academic leaders. And most qualified officials in government are underpaid relative to like skilled industry types. I think some coaches make way too much, but an imposed cap would be circumvented as you say. When my daughter played high school volleyball the head coach was exceptionally qualified, but being a coach in women's sports was paid far less than the "average on his best day" school football coach. So the boosters group arranged for her to be paid a bonus above and beyond her capped school district salary. Of course parents were asked to chip in , and most could afford to do so. But if that happens in a small suburban school in Alabama, I can't imagine the shenanigans going on at large institutions. [/QUOTE]
