Football at any SEC school or basketball at Duke generate a significant amount of money for the school—sometimes in the hundreds of millions. This revenue may subsidizes other sports programs entirely.

If schools want to generate revenue from their sports programs, then winning is very important. What's the key to winning? Hiring the best coaches.
