    CoSIDA NEWS Intercollegiate Athletics News from Around the Nation May 7, 2007 Paying coaches big dollars just makes sense for colleges Page 1 of 2 http://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/college/bal-sp.whitley29apr29,0,7964613.story?coll=bal-college-sports From the Baltimore Sun Paying coaches big dollars just makes sense for colleges April 29, 2007 The year's most astounding sports number came out of Tuscaloosa last weekend: 92,138. That's how many fans showed up at Alabama's spring football game. I don't know whether to laugh, cry or invest in Nick Saban's new clothing line. I do know it should answer the concerns of people who think certain university employees are wildly overpaid. "You have to ask the hard questions," NCAA president Myles Brand said. "Is it the appropriate thing to do within the context of college sports?" He was responding to a question about the gold mine Kentucky was ready to dig for Florida basketball coach Billy Donovan. That came after Saban got his $4-million-a-year windfall. And in this week's affront to academic integrity, Rutgers announced its women's basketball coach is going to be making as much as its football coach. It will be interesting to see whether there's the same outcry when a woman cashes in, but that's beside the point. The point is that if anyone still is looking at this in the context of college sports, they hopelessly are blind to reality. The reality is that college sports is an increasingly gargantuan business.
