A Comparison of Academic Salaries

Chart Showing Pay for College Football Coaches, Deans, and Professors

Why is it that people seem obsessed with chasing a ball around a muddy field, and could care less about actual science and higher learning?  Maybe colleges should actually try to learn something from this chart, return to true academics, and have a separate place for people to go have fun and party after high school. That is the end of my rant for now, in fact, I am sure I was already cognizant of this fact before finding this image.   Makes sense, right – college athletics is just a business like everything else, complete with supply, demand, profit motive, and all those other fundamentals they taught us in business class.

    it’s official. We are twins separated at birth. Seriously. I was just bitching about this bs last friday.

    I called the cops on people last thursday night for celebrating too hard about the Phillies making it to the series.

    Their idea of ok celebration: setting off fire works from their roof smack into the side of the neighbors home. Seriously. Aiming them at the house.

    This is what the cop said when I answered “Ma’am…. we understand people are in the streets celebrating the win, this is a big deal for us”

    (he gave away what side he was on by saying “us”)

    I flipped out. Told him that I didn’t feel like spending the rest of the evening on the street watching my apartment burn to the ground, etc.

    He sent someone to stop them. I watched from my window.
