I don't know which is worse Taggart making 5 mill a year or Jimmy making 7 .5 mill

Other than Notre Dame and a few AAC schools almost everyone is grossly overpaid. You know the situation is horrible when you start to think Coach O is underpaid. What a completely broken system.

If I'm Jimbo Fisher I find a reason to get rid of all my starters and depend strictly on the 12th man scheme.....then I take that 60 million he gets from the buyout clause and retire to someplace without football.... :-)

You may be on to something. Alabama, Clemson and LSU could spread their coaching trees to all of the desperate universities trying to catch them. The coaches could then lose, take all the money from the desperate schools and then go back to coaching at their original school. This would be a great way for them to stay on top while decimating their rivals.

[Yep]

You guys understand how buyouts work, right?

Each Big 12 school making $38.8M/year from their football TV deal
Each SEC school making $43.1M/year from their football TV deal
Each Big 10 school making $54M/year from their football TV deal

Yes, the system is broken, but if the AD's weren't paying 'market pricing' then they wouldn't have a job, because they wouldn't be seen as trying to win or tanking to make the most money for the university. Not all bad, unless when the existing contracts are up in a couple of years, and you get dropped from a conference because you don't add value and the gravy train stops.

Again I don’t understand how you gonna say that Bama, Clemson, and Oklahoma coaches are overpaid. I don’t know what your thinking is with regards to pay? You pay whatever the market will bear. The only question is are you getting what you paid for.

Saban, Sweeny and Riley are definitely not overpaid.
