Coaching, the NCAA, and $$$$$

'Cause in reality, it all comes back to money.

We've been talking about the investigation into the NCAA's tax exempt status.

Today's LA Times jumps on the bandwagon (not the first time they've borrowed from yours truly), and examines not only this issue but athletic spending overall.

In a section about coaching salaries, you read this quote:

Colleges continue to ignore that "players are generating the money," said David Berri, an associate professor of applied economics at Cal State Bakersfield and a co-author of "The Wages of Win," a book about modern sports. "The money for coaches is coming from players. When you put it that way, it really is a reverse Robin Hood effect — rob from the poor, give to the rich."

Great article, and good to see that others are thinking about this as well.
