College football is free market capitalism? All the players receive the exact same 'compensation', no matter how skilled they are or how hard they work. Their 'salaries' are kept artificially low by a governmental body rather than letting the market dictate wages. The players are highly restricted in their abilities to change 'employers'.

I may have heard wrong too. Dabo's total contract may be worth more (it's for 10 years) but is slightly less than Nick per/yearComment

CFB is NOT free market capitalism as far as the players are concerned. They are pretty much free labor best case or slaves, worst. We both know this.Originally posted by Dr. Strangelove View Post
Football coaches, OTH, like Dabo and others at the top end of the CFB coaching pay-scale very much find themselves in a world that is the exact definition of unregulated, free market capitalism. I have goods or skills as the case might be, I will sell them to you. Start bidding.
You asked, "Will Dabo donate a fraction of his salary to restore those programs (the ones Clemson eliminated to spend more on football)?" ...... implying what I reasoned was re-distributive liberalism.
I responded: Why do you hate Capitalism .......
I feel bad you didn't get my drift and I had to explain this to you, libtard moron.Mission to CFB's National Championship accomplished. But the shine on the NC Trophy is embarrassingly wearing off. It's M B-Ball ..... or hockey or volley ball or name your college sport favorite time ...... until next year.Comment

Well I think my original point was: is the wealthiest coach in college football (or #2, whatever) the proper person to be babbling about how damn great amateurism is? Do you think he cares that a bunch of amateur athletes got kicked to the curb in order to give his more professionalized program more money? I doubt it.Originally posted by Jeff Buchanan View Post
Dabo's market value is inflated by preventing players from collecting a salary. If teams had to pay both coaches AND players a fair market value, Dabo's salary probably wouldn't be so high.

Got it, and point well taken. You are probably among posters here who don't expect, and would be correct in that expectation, for me to attempt, let alone actually make, subtly witty posts.Originally posted by Dr. Strangelove View PostMission to CFB's National Championship accomplished.

Dick Tomey died overnight. One of his first gigs was working as a grad assistant under Bo at Miami-OH. Not a lot of standout seasons over his career (he did win Arizona's first and, to date, only Pac10 title in 1993) but he had a very lengthy one. Ended up with 183 career wins, mostly at Hawaii and Arizona.Comment
