More Coaching salary increases: OSU has 4 Assistants over $1 million

Seriously getting out of hand now. Doctors who keep players on the field and coaches alive aren’t making that.....and most lower tier schools can barely pay their HC 7 figures.

Salaries in sports will eventually be their downfall. With more people unplugging TV bc of ridiculous costs surcharges for sports programming, the pot will dry up. It’s not sustainable at the rate it’s been growing.

You couldn’t be more wrong. Salaries will continue to rise. Ppl may be tired of cable but not football. It will just continue to be less parity due to other schools not being able to nor wanting to spend that type of money.

less parity will kill the game - you can’t have a season with 15-20 schools in it while the rest get blown out by 35 points a game. Eventually these schools have to balance the athletic budget and overall costs bc they are skyrocketing. Good luck doing that without site donors.

and I didn’t say football in particular, I said salaries in sports. Attendance at many venues are down so gate money and food/drink aren’t pulling in what they could. If advertising money goes down bc viewers on cable are down, what then?
 
NCAA needs to seriously consider adding a salary cap on coaches. Theyre doing everything they can do stop kids from making money to keep "fairness" in athletics but wont do anything about coaches. These days its almost impossible to stop kids from getting bags but if you want to maintain parity in college athletics, a salary cap on coaches would really help.

I don't know that the unplugging effects them. I thought that too until about a week ago.
It has to be broadcast somehow, and even if people like me stream it illegally, the adverts are still getting to their target audience.
To be honest, it might reach even more people now cause everyone can stream, as long as you have descent internet quality. as opposedto being blacked out by a region or not having a certain network on your package, etc.

If they are willing to pay $8M for asst coaches, just how much are they REALLY making off of football?

Let's check out game revenue...
7 home games x $125 average ticket price x 105,000 seats = $91,875,00.
Take away, say, 25 mil to keep the lights on and their left with a cool $75 mil.
Just in ticket sales.

Then add TV, Bowl revenue, and schwag sales and you have...
A lot.
 
Be interesting if XFL starts signing kids straight from high school and directly from college campuses


Vince could position himself as the true “minor” league for the NFL being the buffer between high and the NFL that owners are so adamant about keeping...

plus he might be successful grabbing more High school stars who don’t even want to waste time in the charade that is college rules.. want to get paid (openly) and be able to jump to the NFL when their 2/3 years from high school passes

All that money and fanbase yet just 2 championships since 1973, one of which was stolen from Miami. #underwhelming

They can go 12-0 in the Big 10 again and will still get obliterated by Clemson, Bama, or even UGA next year.

Ohio is the 7th most populous state (about the same as 5 and 6) and Ohio State has no competition there for recruits. They have tons of money and support, boosters for bags, you name it. They're actually a pretty underachieving program.

I've been beating this drum since I heard the XFL was coming back. This could be an avenue for high school kids who don't want to go to school for 3 years and not get compensated for their talent. This would disrupt the college talent monopoly significantly and give the XFL top tier talent, albeit young. Kids could go here for 3 years, get paid and develop, then jump to the NFL for a big payday if they proved enough. Most of these top tier HS recruits don't want to go to college and strictly want to focus on football without the burden of academics and get paid for their work. It would be their choice of which avenue they wanted.

As you said, they could also sign kids who went to college for a year and decided they wanted to get paid for the next 2 years of development before they were NFL eligible.

I wonder what the NCAAs response to this kind of a football model would be.

As long as fans continue buying tickets to go and watch it then it will continue trending in that direction, it's all about the fans, if the fans stop paying those prices and stop going to the games, it won't take no time for those ticket prices to come down. coaches and players can't exist without the fans
