i had a part typed out that since market values is what it is, that we should pay that, but figured you were smart enough to know i was talking about the system as a whole and not ksu specifically so i deleted it.
i'm not talking about COLUSION or anything, calm down. i'm saying my market value view of these coaches is around 100k. if you started coaching the basketball team tomorrow for 100k, it doesn't even matter how much revenue drops off because the school already saved more than the team was "worth" in the first place. the animal makes like $350k right? do you think a women's basketball coach is worth twice the value of the university president? that's absurd.
football and mbb salaries are inflated too (in my opinion), but at least they bring huge amounts of value.
