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.

  1. 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.
