Message: [QUOTE="CocoHusky, post: 3840040, member: 5823"] Nah..... The real slippery slope is the (upwards mostly) trajectory of some of these obese coaches salaries. From 10 years ago and is gotten worse since: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.espn.com/blog/collegebasketballnation/post/_/id/84629/coach-k-made-nearly-10-million-in-2011[/URL] If coaches are getting paid this much from [B]NON-UNIVERSITY sources of funding[/B] then the player should be compensated something. We can argue about how much something is but please don't digress to a discussion of the cost of room and board and tuitions. Because then I have to bring up something called "incremental" cost which is the true cost to the University of adding 1 more student. The basketball team ad Duke is going to wear what ever shoe the university and Coach K decides. Coach K should get to pocket an extra $1M/year because that shoe happens to be Nike. [/QUOTE]
