You can say its a lot of money, but think of all the GREAT HS and Div 3, 2 and 1-AA coaches there are out there that make JACK SQUAT, yet work their asses off. They aren't doing it for the cash.

This completely off-topic and has absolutely nothing to do with why a player like Rich Gannon, who earned will in excess of $10 million dollars during his playing career and currently earns more than $4 million per year in the broadcast booth, would take a 70 hour per week job to earn $250 per year.

I know more than a few NCAA DI coaches around the country. They're well educated, intelligent, connected and make a good living. But don't think for a second that if ANY of these guys were offered $4 million to sit in the booth for 16 weeks, they wouldn't quit their jobs in a heartbeat.
