Bama and Clemson coaching salaries

Here's what Im curious about:

Its my understanding that the ACC has a policy of 100% revenue sharing, so at the end of the year, Clemson and UM will have end up with roughly the same amount of money. Given that, it seems that the path to highest profitability for ALL ACC schools is to have only ONE school spend crazy money on football, get into the playoff and secure the additional playoff dollars for the ACC each year.

Is my thinking correct here?

It's crazy how sports can warp your perception of the real world, in real life a guy making 500K is doing **** well and likely making a noticeable contribution to society, in CFB he coaches 18yr old linebackers.

Honestly, I think big-time college coaches (especially head coaches) are underpaid. The third guard on an NBA team makes more than the entire Alabama staff combined.

Thanks for the education. All these years I thought UF, FSU and all the state schools around the nation had some financial resource advantage over us coming from public money. So ... I'm wondering why we don't have a stadium like the Swamp or Doak, somewhere in Miami? It's all on "cheap" donors/alumni? I mean, we have the TV money, supposedly the ticket sales, apparel deals, etc!!

I can't say about back in the day stadiums were funded. I know big projects like that were far more feasible than they are today for a bunch of reasons.

One thing I haven't seen mentioned are the "booster" clubs, totally unaffiliated with the schools, but pump in tons of cash. IIRC the Bama booster club paid of Sabans mortgage a few years back.

That's what Miami will never be able to compete with, one of you schmucks needs to win the Power ball and get us up to speed!

Lord knows I tried. Lol Came up 3 numbers off in 2 of the last 3 drawings when that joint hit a billy.

Miami football apparently generates more than 100 million annually in revenue, not sure how much of that goes back into football but can guarantee its lower than other schools.[/QUOTE]

Believe you are right but, why do you think that is the case?

Oh yes, there was state $$$$ spent on this, notice the "classrooms" and "academic" cites in the article...Who do you think foots the bill for real property maintenance? Fire and police protection?

Don't believe state school propaganda.

Have three Bama alums in my family. They tell me the development on campus over the last 10 years is incredible. The ROI on Saban has been insane.

Exactly right. Clemson AD said the same thing.

Said the success of their football program has increased application numbers, allowing them to increase how selective their admission process is.

That selectivity improves their school rankings.
 
I attended the OU/ Alabama game and I glanced over to the Bama side and it seemed they had just as many staff members as players. It was striking to see, it was like watching google against a local company playing. You right away knew where the money bags were.

Same thing has been happening at Miami. This past admission cycle has been the biggest and most selective. It started back in 2017. Thank you 10 game winning streak, Turnover chain and beating ND.

I think ACC revenue sharing applies to bowl and TV revenues.

I don’t think teams share home stadium income with anyone but perhaps the visiting team for each game. Apparel might be a partial share. Perhaps there are licensing fees are the team and at the conference level.

So Enos went from making 200 thousand to 1.5 million, not a bad raise. Hope he is worth it .

Not to be critical of the Enos hire, but......we poached the lowest paid coach on their staff. So, Nick either tried to go cheap with Enos, and paid the price, or we overpaid. I hope we got a bargain and in three years we are all laughing at Bama's collapse.
 
In order to truly level the playing field in college athletics, which is the essence of sports, there must be a salary cap for coaches and officials. It is time for the NCAA do do something about this in the interests of sports. It is a big problem.
