Edit: to be extra clear, the sentiment of over paying for sports is fine, but for anyone who graduated for a state school like me, you’re taking pot shots at my degree. And so while I agree with the sentiment, heartily fuck you if you didn’t put in your 11 years post under and post graduate at an ivy league university where this isn’t true.

No one is taking pot shots at your degree, lol. I don't see how that is even a thing in your head. We're saying, pay the players and put some of that money back into the university. When the head coach makes 4 million per year, something is not right.

UW football coach Kalen DeBoer is the 44th highest-paid coach in NCAA college football, with a total annual pay of $4.2 million, USA Today found.
