[QUOTE="Second and Chalmers, post: 1263860, member: 527609"] No, you're right. It's not nothing. But it's not the riches the coaches get. Big time college sports coaches are paid life-altering, trust fund for your grand-kids money and given absolute, dictatorial control of their programs for the express purpose of making wins happen. They collect buyouts usually tantamount to the full value of their contracts if they fail. It's a brutally competitive business that every one of them knew full well going into it. Because of those things I never have any problem with a college coach bearing the brunt of public criticism. It's correct or its incorrect, but it's never unfair, IMO. [/QUOTE]
