Is 4 million dollars too much for a college coach??

My school (University of Alabama) is spending 4 million dollars on a football coach. His first year as coach we finish the season 7-6. I know that he is a great coach but come on. Is he really worth that much money?? If the university was doing what it was designed to do (give its students the best EDUCATIONAL experience) then shouldn't that money go to better buildings and lab equipment?? Just my opinion of course but what does everyone think?

I understand your feelings! I went to Penn State, and football weekends were a MAJOR inconvenience for us students. On the other hand, the revenue for the school and the town are HUGE for college football, and I guarantee that the 'Tide makes way more than they cost.

Dammit! Now everytime I sing "Deacon Blues" I'm going to think of you!

If electricity comes from electrons, does morality come from morons?

Yeah, i go to UF. they pay ours more. And our African and Asian Language and Literature department is running in the red, as well as our english department. Our teachers ask us to print out own syllabi off the net to save copies and save money for the department, meanwhile, homeboy is getting millions a year. It may pull in lots of money, but there's no reason to pay that one dude that much money.


Glory and praise to Thee, Satan, on high,
Where Thou didst reign, in Hell where Thou dost lie,
Vanquished, silent, dreaming eternally.
Grant that my soul some day rest close to Thee
Under the Tree of Knowledge which shall spread
Its branches like a Temple overhead.

It sure seems that way, but when the boosters dump millions into the school and say they want that guy....it's gonna happen. It sounds like your school needs to allocate funds better!

Penn State is different. JoePa gave the school $4 million back to fund a new building.

Yeah they ask us to print out our own notes and syllabi too. At least ole Urban Myer has won you guys something. Our last national title was in 1992.

Speaking of Penn St. we are going to be playing you guys in the next 4 or 5 years. It's going to be a home and home series.

It's allo politics sadly. At the big universities like Penn St or Alabama or Florida they have a bunch of rich old alumni who just live to give money to the football teams and go to football games and spend money like water. But in exchange for the money they demand a winner. They want national titles and to beat their rivals. So athletic directors to get the results necessary to keep the athletic department chock full of money.


Is it right? Well if you got a coach like Joe Pa or Jim Tressel who give a lot of money back to the school, Tressel even gave a bunch of money back to the school he used to caoach at Youngstown State, then it's ok. But if you get a coach like Saban who I wouldn't trust to stick more than five years then it seems like it might be a waste.

Why don't boosters just give it to the schools in the college that need it? That's more of a way to honor where you graduated than paying some dude 4$million+ A year, i think. You know?

I think it is absurd how much money alumni do pour into the jugaunant known as UA football. Yeah it is tradition rich but that tradition is in the past. 12 more national championships aren't realistic. Our fan base, most of whom have never taken a single class at UA, is too dellusional to understand that though and they hail Saban as the next coming of Jesus. Half of our student body can't even go to a game because they don't allocate enough tickets for the students because they don't make as much money off of our 5 dollar tickets as they do general admission. Isn't college supposed to be about those students??
