When creating a competitive balance or achieving a competitive advantage, it's all about the money

parity - they limit scholarships in the name of parity; you want a level playing field for all the schools - cap the salaries..

I think they should be put on type of commission, I worked for 2 major companies for many years and that worked real well. You now tell me they get FIRE for doing bad job & the next pays them more WHY

College athletic coach. Get real. Who needs more than 1 or 3 million a year to live a fulfilling very successful life with an amazing home, great car, retirement and vacation however you want.

I don't think any government funded university coach should make more than $250,000 per year AND the coach should be hired from the high school level within their own state. No outside money either.

That is socialism. In America, we are a free market...someone can pay as much or as little as they want, it is controlled by market forces.

If a school cannot compete then drop the game or move to another division.

The universities pay their staff what they feel they are worth. It is all based on the revenue that they generate, so why in the world would we restrict it?

As ridiculously high as, for example, Saban's contract is at Alabama, there is a value he has brought to the university. The investment in Frost will do the same at UN.

It has to fair across the board, from Fordham to Alabama. one monthly stipend for everyone, not just scholarship players. There has to be a limit on how many players all schools should abide by. Determine the national budget and every school must contribute.

Compensation has always been tied to market value. These athletes are worth far more than they're being compensated, and that's been the case for over a century. Hence, they've been ripped off. I support salary, salary cap, and education on how to invest it in 401k style accounts.

Much more controllable, and much more equitable.

Compensation changes the entire dynamic of college athletics, and not in a positive way.

They should be students and NOT professional athletes. If they want to get paid they can go pro. Personally, I believe they should cancel all sports in public schools and colleges though I love our Huskers.

Put myself through school in the 70's. They are getting for exchange of their athletic prowess what I had to work and save for. The two summers after high school I drove alfalfa trucks 12 hours a day 7 days a week. EARN IT!

They already live better than most students. Free room and board, tutors, clothing, and actual education cost.

They are compensated with room and board plus an education. The perks they get as athletes now are unbelievable!!!
