I don't mind a G5 coming out and being honest. I mean $3M to NIU is obviously a huge deal. But I think Wisconsin and others can "get by" for a delayed season with exorbitant donations to make up for obscene spending.

These massive spending programs need to come back down to planet earth. Maybe this will cause college football and basketball to come back to reality. There is no reason college football coaches should be making more than $1 million. There are many schools spending more on their coaching staffs than NIU does on its entire football program. The priorities in many college athletic departments is not fiscally responsible. Stop spending so much on coaching and massive, fancy athletic facilities.

I remember reading about how roughly half of the D1 FBS teams out there make money or break even. A lot of these big names end up losing money with how much they drop on coaches and big time facilities.
