Message: [QUOTE="LoboDays, post: 3999496, member: 11080"] The changes occurring in college sports is not the end of amateurism. That ended a long time ago. There is nothing “amateur” about major college sports in this country when…………. A football coach earns 9.3 million a year (Nick Saban) A University spends 175 million to expand their stadium and 7 million just to improve their locker room (Texas) A university spends 370 million on an indoor training facility (Oklahoma) The president of the NCAA earns 2.7 million and negotiates TV contracts worth billions And, even a coach of a women’s basketball team earns 2.4 million………….. There is just no “amateur” about any of it. The changes were inevitable. They will come with their own problems that will need to be sorted out. The money involved was just too much to be ignored.
