UCF AD Hired By Oregon St

See what happens at a mid-major when your teams start winning? There needs to be caps on salaries for ADs, coaches, etc..http://www.statesmanjournal.com/story/sports/college/oregon-state/2015/06/18/stansbury-named-new-athletic-director-oregon-state/28932565/

Well DUH! That's how business works ...

Treating college football like the NFL, a business, has helped ruin it IMO. It's now haves vs have nots in terms of cash. Btw, no other country in the world has monetized a college sport like has been done to football.

You're right. In Japan, they do it in high school for baseball.

And you're always bringing up this romanticized notion of college football when you've never seen a single down in your entire life where the game was just a game. Let it go. The haves and have nots have been going at it since the 19th century when Yale was already charging it's students a fee to pay for football.

 

 

 

They turned high school baseball into a multi-billion dollar industry with gigantic TV contracts for hundreds of millions of dollars? Riiiight

 

And its not a romanticized version, its the actual HISTORY of the game.

My apologies, I forgot you were looking for an absolute exact parallel. Not an example of how a high school baseball tournament is a billion dollar production in Japan that rivals March Madness. Or that the reason there's no college soccer around the world is because professional teams have spent so much money, they have made the sport completely obsolete at that level by buying kids out before they even get there through budgets at their academies for 12 year olds that would rival the SEC. Lionel Messi was bought by Barcelona when he was 11 since they were willing to pay for his growth hormone therapy and his local team in Argentina wouldn't.

You said no one else in the world does to their sports what we do to ours? You're right. It's worse in many places.

And you're right, money in college football is the history of the game. The entire history going back well over 100 years.

Baseball and soccer are great analogs for what slick is talking about, IMO. Good job. You won't find a perfect parallel because the closest is soccer and they've just effectively killed the college circuit. The rest are do not have the market size of American Football. Obviously Japanese Baseball isn't going to be as popular. There's a lot less eye balls. I bet if you do it per capita, it's fairly close, however.

This might be O'Leay's coaching exit strategy.
