No better than any Sun Belt schools draw for football, I don't see how they can pay a coach a salary like this.

We do draw over 20k per game, and getting larger each year.

Maybe ya'll do, but most Sun Belt teams don't average that many, do they? If a I read that right(and it's been several days since I read and posted it), if he reaches certain goals, his salary could be close to one million, couldn't it. Will averaging 20,000 a game pay a head coach a million a year, plus all the assistants, and the other costs of a D-1 football program? I just guessed that Sun Belt football coaches probably didn't make more than $200,000 tops.

The coaching salaries have become totally ridiculuous. I have pretty much lost interest in pro sports because of the crazy salaries these spoiled athletes get. Big time college sports aren't much better, except the coaches make millions while the players get nothing- ya, they get scholarships, but I would bet most of them could qualify for free educations through Pell grants and the like.
