I like that someone on the inside is voicing an opinion. https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaaf/2017/04/17/co... / I do not pretend to understand all the issues (unlike many of my friends to have firmly entrenched opines and are quick to issue "facts") but I appreciate this former AD responding to the court never argue with idiots, they bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

I was at the gym and couldn't hear the dialogue. He's in our sport management program and often gets quoted. To me, the litmus test is this: who is the highest paid professor at the university and what do they make? If the coaches salaries and total comp are in the ballpark, fine, then the players are good with just scholarships. If not, then you're in another realm that is not academics and the players are underpaid.

As for Ridpath, according to the issue of Perspectives that I received yesterday, he was the top quoted Ohio University expert in 2015 with 1,203 media placements. http://www.athensnews.com/news/campus/ohio-university-s-t...

Ohio University's top 10 salaries for 2014-15. Notice not one actually teaches anything.

Saul Phillips, head men's basketball coach: $550,000. Last year: $433,500 (2013-2014 compensation number is for former 2013-2014 basketball coach Jim Christian)" My question to our every day negative poster who constantly posts negative material about Frank and the football program is why doesn't he constantly berate the hoops coach? No MAC tourney titles and in the MAC every team, no matter if they are 5th or 12th get get invited to the tournament. The hoops coach is compensated alot better than Frank. I am not advocating that he bash any program or coach, but I am guessing our mens basketball coach is the top paid guy in the MAC. Hey Mr. Negative, where is the heat for the top paid guy in the league?

Hey Mr. Negative, where is the heat for the top paid guy in the league? So are you up on Monroe, down on Saul or just stirring the pot? Kind of interested in hearing that answer.

It's very simple.

Care to proffer a reason the professor may be of more value to the a fa lete? never argue with idiots, they bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

It made sense, a college Pres runs ONE institution. The Gov runs the whole State. I am sure kasich's salary is much less than many of these guys. The inflation in Admin salaries has just been ridiculous in higher ed over the last 30 years! Some would call it obseen...or just keeping up with private industry. Take your pick...

But my reasoning is this: before coaches and admin salaries got out of control, a full scholarship was just compensation for a student athlete. When boosters are ponying up millions of dollars and TV contracts are paying huge sums for broadcast rights and many coaches are making 1M plus (with Calipari making 8M), it's not an amateur enterprise any longer. The athletes are underpaid and it will change in the future. In 1981 Bo Shembechler made 100k at Michigan and the college president made 105k. At 3.5% inflation that number is 345k today. If coaches made in the that ballpark, then in my opinion, the scholarship would be just compensation. Jim Harbaugh makes 9M.
