It's a game of chicken for the NCAA members

Let's say somewhere along the line you lead by example and say you're going to cut administrative bloat and coaching salaries. I think this is fundamentally a good thing (remember when Mack Brown making 5 mil a year was outrageous? ha!)

Then everyone else says "oooohh....yeah...um...we'll think about it" and you've basically committed coaching suicide. I'm not saying it's right, but if we unilaterally decide the ND men's basketball coach can now only make 150k/year, are we going to get anyone near competent if nobody else backs off too?

I'm not saying JS isn't a giant weasel, but there needs to be a way to get this to happen at a broad level, and the NCAA should have been the one to do this years ago. Instead, they liked the money and let it continue.
