I ran across this article:
http://www.usatoday.com/sports/college/football/2007-12-04-coaches-pay_N.htm
Read the graphics on the left side. Totally fascinating. The last graph is a breakdown of how much a coach is paid for each victory this year....My eyes got big when you look at how much the SEC (Georgia is in the SEC) coaches get paid relative to the WAC.
June Jones, for the 12 victories this year was paid $66,000 per win, which dwarfs in comparison to the Georgia coach (Mark Richt), who in their 10 victories got paid $202,470 per win.
What's sad, is the first graphic shows the bonus coaches get for a team with a high GPA. Compare that to how much they get per win, and you could make the argument to pay the players as professionals already.
