College Boards and Fans Support Huge Earnings For Football Coaches

Jimbo Fisher, Florida State, in bonuses alone could add almost $700,000 to his salary in the low millions.
Urban Meyer, Ohio State, in bonuses alone could add between $350-450, 000 to his salary of $3.2 million.
Gus Malzahn, Auburn, in bonuses alone could add over $1 million to his salary, unknown by me but suspect it to be $3 million.
Gary Pinkel, Missouri, in bonuses alone could add up to $350,000 to his salary, unknown by me but suspect $2 million.

Plus other perks adding into 10's of thousands of dollars.

And the beat goes on for football coaches. Yes, I know about job insecurity but in just two years, a coach could make more than 100 highly skilled workers make in one year and the number could even be higher.

Just supply and demand and an a lot of crazies out there. At the end of the day, (a popular redundant saying these days,) our demand to be entertained may do us in.
