Lou Holtz made around $100k while the cost of a scholarship was around $20k.

In 2023, Marcus Freeman makes $5 million while Michael Mayer earned $80k (the cost of a scholarship).

Do you think it makes any sense whatsover that in the span of 30 years, we've gone from coaches earning 5x more than their players to 50x?

You are right that some players right now have a good deal under the current rules. But the current system is not even close to fair market value for the top 25 percent of the roster.
