Makes sense.

So?
If you don't like that then convince people not to watch football.

The amount of money people are willing to pay for sports is just silly
William Cruz
The amount of people who pay for a liberal arts degree is just silly.
Mason Walker
This is completely true at my uni.
Pres makes $320k
Deans make $100-200k
Highest paid professors are $70-80k
Most professors make $50-60k
Lecturers make $35-40k
Football coach makes $750k
Basketball coach makes $500k

If uni's are so liberal why the huge male/ female pay gap?
Josiah Taylor
Pfft, this wasn't about that.
I am simply bartering a discussion about payscale difference between the entertainment, and academic feilds.
Zachary Gomez
Women professors teach art history
Male professors teach stem
Daniel Young
I would presume they teach different subjects and accept different positions/ responsibilities.
Brandon Nelson
is it? Well too fucking bad there aren't "science competitions" every sunday between teams, with clubs buying scientists who can get in matches with others and display their skill, work in teams to produce something entertaining to see that everyone can understand. Too bad sponsors don't sign multimillion dollar contracts with clubs of scientists to get a spot on their labcoat.
Maybe people would be willing to pay then, and top scientists would have the reward they think they deserve.
Eli Wood
The point is that sports are fucking dumb
Wyatt Lopez
Philanthropists, entertainers/trainers/managers for such, and war mongers are essentially the top of the top for payscales.
Anything that really matters in life isn't going to make very much money at all.
Camden Bailey
How many football coaches there are? And how many professors? durr
Sebastian Collins
> how many football coaches are there
> how many stochastic calculus professors are there?
Brandon Reed
no they're not.
It takes talent, strategy, preparation, execution, shot calling, lots of decision making etc
You're dumb.
Parker Carter
>stochastic calculus professors should earn more than philosophy professors
Elijah Miller
They provide good entertainment and a sense of camaraderie. People are willing to pay to take part. Is this stupid? It doesn't seem any more stupid than paying to see movies.
Blake Mitchell
football coaches bring in a lot more revenue for the school than professors
Carter James
My senior design advisor made >$300,000/yr. Not sure about my current advisor, but it's six figures.
Carson Nguyen
>Football coach makes $750k
You must have a pretty shitty program.
Parker Walker
It's dumb that people are willing to invest so much into something that isn't providing much benefit.
Mason Perez
The most expensive tickets to a college football game are about on par with seeing a big name musician live (save something like a championship game, maybe). You can get tickets to most games for like $20, and other sports hardly cost shit to see. It brings in a shit ton of money because there are upwards of 90,000 people attending some games and TV deals for athletic conferences.
Brandon Stewart
Yeah it brings in a shit ton of money, but as we know college sports are mostly self serving and it does nothing to direct interest towards academics.
Wyatt Howard
>college sports are mostly self serving
That's exactly right, which is why college coaches are paid from this athletic budget that wouldn't exist without them. Seems fair to me.
Brody Wilson
Autism. People like sports, not many people like calculus. Deal with it.
Matthew Bennett
And?
Juan Jackson
It doesn't seem like pro sports should have anything to do with college
Bentley Taylor
What if I like playing sports and doing calculus, just not watching either?
