Right.....he's the most glaring example right now, so I'm singling out A&M more than the landscape dictates, because in truth all Ath. Depts. are part of this right now.
Without looking it up, I think Orgeron's deal is between 3 and 4 mil....whatever it is, it's well below the league average for "premier" programs, and it was considered a steal. But think about it....LSU just got rid of its winningest coach in history to hire Ole Miss' worst coach in history....saving a little over a mil/yr. to do it, but while paying him way more than we would've paid to keep Saban just 12 years ago.
On the surface, it's clearly out of whack, and I don't think this is sustainable. I'm just not convinced the $ is always going to be there.
