In my opinion the extreme salaries for coaches in college athletics is why we are now paying athletes. It’s been out of control for 20 plus years. Coaches, administrators, etc getting paid exuberantly and players were afforded scholarships. Chump change.

No surprise here because I have no idea what they are anyway since you have to be a journal star subscriber to even find out 🙄🙄🙄

Joe Anderson

You get what you pay for. I trust Rhule to find the best coaches for this team. and he has done that. No problem with the salaries.

PJ SAid

You have to PAY to Play. As long as Performance comes with the increase expenditures, we are good.

Dick Plock

The money is there so get the best coaches yo can!😊😉

Are you in favor of college football's 85-scholarship limit?

the big programs will thrive while the rest survive, with no limit its all about Money then

If open, rich schools like Ohio State and Texas would have 300 players on their rooster, which would impact the recruit pool. Of course those who don't play would end up in transfer portal. The scholarship limits helps all schools access to good players. Even with NIL, the scholarship limit helps

Seems fair for the number of kids that actually play in games.

Most players don't get to go pro. As a former college walkon, being an athlete and having the $ to pay for college and other things is a huge burden. There is too much as a full time student and athlete to work as well. Opening more scholarships give more kids as much opportunity as possible.
