How can collage football coaches get paid so much, while teachers are paid so little? There is such a discrepancy between academic and athletic pay, even though one benifits society way more than the other. In this article http://www.newsday.com/sports/college/college-football/fbs-college-football-coaches-salaries-are-perks-are-soaring-newsday-special-report-1.9461669 … the discrepancy is clearly shown. If the “best” teacher was payed as much as the “best” football coach, then the academic sector of the US would far outrank that of any other country in the world. Currently, the countries with the best educational systems value teachers in that sence. A teacher must work just as hard as a football player in practice, if not harder, to earn a spot at a good school. While this principal is not yet grasped by the US, (and probably never will be) other countries greatly benifit from the exalted status of teachers to the same degree that athletes are exalted in America.
