Perhaps This Is Why College Costs Are So High

From the April 3, 2014, USA Today "Coaches Salaries.

In these days of constantly rising college costs for students, the USA Today ran a payout breakdown for the salaries of the coaches of the 64 basketball teams teams that made it to the Big Dance, March Madness.  Now, I must say I watched a lot of the games and enjoyed it, but perhaps there has come a time when colleges need to reexamine what they're paying their basketball coaches (and football coaches are paid even more!!!)

Some of the pay of the coaches were unavailable, but the majority of the coaches were getting more than a million dollars, especially in the "Major" conferences.

Lowest pay was Wofford's Mike Young at $171,244.  Highest was Duke's Mike Krzyzewski at $9,682,032.

Some of the higher salaries:
Arizona $2,627,806
Florida: $3,905,964
Kansas: $4,960,763
Kentucky: $5,511, 381
Louisville: $$5,758,338
Michigan State:  $3,893,954
Ohio State:  $3,282,000

Check Them Out.  It is astounding.
