Proposed federal law seeks to limit skyrocketing salaries of college coaches | U.S. Congresswoman Donna Shalala

A proposed federal law is the latest -- and perhaps most powerful -- attempt seeking to limit spiraling salaries among college coaches. The possibility of an anti-trust exemption emerging from that law would allow schools to limit or cap those salaries with the creation of a...

If the limit is equivalent to her stature College Football is screwed

Typical liberal BS! Trying to cap how much money someone can make, that is not a free society,

 

[MedleyCane]

She claims to be mortified at the salaries.
I'm mortified this troll is in the House of Representative.

Fck this socialist troll and her loser sycophants.

This is beyond liberalism. This is outright socialism.

Why won’t she play like a nice lil she hobbit and go away?

Would think Private schools would be exempt. Hence the word Private.

You have to have a cap on coaching salaries, when CFB teams have budgets that allow them to spend disproportionately. This is in stark contrast to the NFL where most teams spend similarly. At the end of the day the only thing that matters is preserving the integrity of the game. Liberalism vs. Conservatism vs. Communism vs. Capitalism is irrelevant in this discussion.

Ummm...public University football coaches are government employees. As long as public tax dollars are going towards these universities, the government has all the right to cap their salaries. Now a private university, who does not receive any tax subsidies, should be able to pay whatever they want.

Needs to be voted out asap!!! Shes nothing but a familiar name. One term is enough.

How can a free country’s federal government forcibly cap incomes paid to coaching professionals? How can they do it to private schools?

 

[Gransapo]

I would like a cap on how many public sector jobs a useless **** can take. Get the **** out of public life.

The same way that other govt. employees are paid salaries based on tiers. For private schools they can enforce coaching salary restrictions as part of the rules framework to maintain conference affiliation. This is absolutely necessary for the sustainability of the game moving forward.

I wonder how many of the boomers complaining about the potential limits on coaches' comp have had no such complaints regarding the longstanding limits on athletes' comp

But conferences and the NCAA are private organizations. Is Shalala trying to claim anti-trust and threaten to break up the NCAA or something?

'"I would say this would be discussed. That's really the only way we can stop [spiraling salaries]," Ohio University professor David Ridpath told CBS Sports. "As a public institution, you shouldn't be building a lazy river or paying a strength coach a million dollars."'

"An ant-trust exemption granted by the federal government would create some sort of restraint on college salaries that have reached record levels. It's an exemption that was granted to Major League Baseball in 1922 that states the sport is not subject to federal commerce laws."

How does this sabotage []__[] football?

To me this levels the playing field, which is skewed toward public institutions and those with enormous endowments or billionaire boosters.

Please help me understand your point of view...

People are going to say capitalism should dictate coaches salaries, liberal agenda, socialism, yadda yadda, but college football is not a market governed by capitalism. Almost all the employees in this system are free laborers. Alabama can afford to pay Nick Saban $10M because the best players they get from around the country don't earn a dime (small bags aside). In a competitive market Alabama would have to be paying top dollar for all those 5 star athletes and their payroll would be massive. It wouldn't be a sustainable model. So because there's only one variable that schools need to navigate individuals, like Saban, hold incredible amounts of power. That's somewhat the gist of the antitrust aspect of the bill.

Aren’t the vast majority of coaches public employees? Isn’t the right always screaming about the public employee fleecing the taxpayer? This has to be about public universities as they all get federal funding.

This would actually be a good thing for UM, as we’d not have to compete w the salaries Bamer etc pays their coaches.

This wouldn’t just level the playing field, it’d allow UM to outspend the big public schools.

Both fall under private umbrella organizations. I don’t know how the NFL and the other sports survive anti-trust laws and get to do that. I can see the Federal government threatening funds to any States whose schools don’t abide by this, namely state schools. The professional leagues aren’t taking federal funds.

I'm just curious Karl. How is it hurting the game now that she feels it needs to be addressed?
