As far as the analogy of coaches getting paid a lot and players are the ones making them money, you could say the same about professors and students.

I agree with most of what you said, and if you can show me a state university professor who is earning $9 million, I'll agree with all of it. A far as I know, no-one pays money to watch a professor teach students chemistry.

The point of sports at college was originally supposed to be to allow students to participate in athletics. As was pointed out on another thread, now it is about building the college's brand through sponsoring fun entertainment linked to the school. Classes are not usually considered "fun entertainment".

Now, if athletes were allowed to major in their sports, the way musicians can, then I would agree.
