[QUOTE="JacketOff, post: 886737, member: 4572"] And schools are going to continue to chase the big payday, because the ones in charge are the only ones who really ever see that money. AD’s, school presidents, head coaches, other administrators. They couldn’t care less about what actually happens on the field or how the fans feel. As long as they can keep pushing the narrative that dumping tens of millions of dollars into programs that consistently lose and have no real chance of competing for a championship is the best way forward, they’ll be ok. When everyone else also has an extra $30M it makes it a moot point. The teams that win are going to pay their coaches increasingly large salaries upwards of $10M currently, and will probably grow to $15-20M (ie Georgia, Alabama, Ohio State, Clemson, etc). Those coaches dictate market level, so schools that are trying to convince everyone they can win at that level too are going to continue to pay mediocre coaches like Steve Sarkisian $7M and Mel Tucker $10M to give the illusion they’re ready to compete at that level. In reality there’s only a handful of truly elite coaches and staffs to go around. Just because you pay a mediocre coach a top tier salary doesn’t mean he will turn into a top tier coach. He’ll still be mediocre, he’ll just be a lot richer. [/QUOTE]
