The vast majority of coaches don't make this kind of money. I refuse to believe tuition is insanely high because of coaching salaries. I was actually under the (possibly incorrect) assumption that coaches salaries come largely from boosters and things like ticket sales, jersey sales, etc.

Here's some real data for you, in a NY college no less.

President of my undergrad college made $884K last year [1], but a medical school professor made nearly $2M.

They're a professor for Orthopedics. Orthopedics is the highest paid specialty and at a university, Professor == Physician.

Point is he's making that money for the hospital for patient services, not because of his teaching.

Medical schools usually have separated funding sources too. Many professors are in fact practicing medicine in their field.
