Message: [QUOTE="Bama fan, post: 3069860, member: 7757"] I completely understand the reality of today's college sports milieu. I just think it is wasteful. Why pay out a million dollar contract to a coach whose program will be a money loser? The programs do not support themselves. Everyone gets rich but the people who must pay for these [B]schools [/B]to exist. And they are first and foremost schools. The coaches, the professional leagues that use schools as training grounds, the broadcasters, the shoe and clothing companies reap benefits while the tuition goes up for the regular students. I like college sports, but they are being manipulated into becoming professional playgrounds. They just should not spend money they do not earn. And a great place for Penn State to start is now. The once great reputation of that institution was destroyed by ADs, presidents, and coaches and alumni who wanted more,more, more money. The cost to the people of Pennsylvania of such money grubbing policies has been immeasurable. [/QUOTE]
