Is this before or after taco cantina sales figures in Orlando are factored in?

The CEO of my former employer made $4.8 mil the final year I was there. If he donated $1.8 mil of his salary and split it up amongst the number of sales reps at the company, the ones working 65 hour weeks, traveling away from family and missing big events, busting their asses to hit budget numbers, filling out spreadsheets, working on bids, answering emails at 10:00 at night, and doing everything else we did, we could've all made an extra $14k+ per year. He didn't. You could do this with every single company out there, since you want the NCAA to work like a company, and it isn't happening.

It's capitalism. It's what's made football the most popular sport in the nation - work harder than the next guy, put in your time, prove your worth, and make millions. Again, these kids are free to not go play college football and live their lives however they want. The overwhelming number of D1 kids playing football aren't the ones bringing in millions every year, and a significantly lower number of them will make sustainable money in the pros. However, they have a free education and nearly limitless networking opportunities from their playing days to get great careers, and if they're open to it, learn a lot along the way. As a kid who paid every penny of his college himself, I can say I'd have given my left nut to have been able to do that.
I’m not saying Sanam should lose money. I’m saying that someone these entities find $9 million to pay Saban. And when they’re spending $250 million in stadium upgrades, it’s hard to argue they don’t have $8 mill to pay players. Title IX is the biggest hurdle to it all. Not the availability of funds. If this were capitalism kids would get laid based on their talent.

Pretty sure plenty of these players are getting laid because of their talents.

For Alabama, yeah. You expect all schools to just magically come up with $8mil to pay players? Again, you're going to shrink the number of schools that can afford football down to maybe 12-16, and I might even be way too high on that.

Look at Michigan's profits....I think we would have no problem coming up with $8 million to pay players.

That's an awesome auto correct, and very true.
I mean seriously, Derrick Henry looked like the Predator but I’m sure he didn’t sleep alone on weekends very often.

I'm aware. And you'd be one of the very few schools who could afford it.
He’s not going to see a problem with that because he’s going to want Michigan to have an unfair advantage over most of college football.

They already have an unfair advantage don't they? Other than the Ohio State, Oklahoma, USC, Alabama types, they already have an advantage over the rest of college football.

This would just be one MORE unfair advantage, right?

Yes, because it’s not unfair enough for them already.

I think he's just another ignorant millennial who thinks he's fighting the good fight even though his logic and rationale hasn't been thoroughly developed and has no applicable value in the real world.

11. Tennessee Volunteers
Revenue: $108 million
Profit: $60 million

The Vols are among college football’s biggest spenders on athletics facilities, and they rank second behind only Alabama in football recruiting expenses, which have recently cost the team more than $1.3 million per year.

Back to Title IX -- most football programs in the P5 bring in tons of money and could afford it. It becomes a problem when their athletic departments as a whole are not profitable.
