Although Tony Buffa's comments on comparative salaries of faculty and
coaches are well taken and I find myself in agreement with him, I am
sorry report Tony that the chickens are not likely to come home to roost
on this one. Coaches has been paid considerably more than faculty since
the late 19th century, and in fact the successful ones tend to be paid
more than university presidents.
 
The reason is simple. They are worth much more to the average American
university than faculty or presidents. That is not a value judgement, and
not a qualitative judgement, just an economic fact.
