A lot of the really high up positions are heavily involved in fundraising, and the argument there is that "If person X can increase our endowment by just 1% more than person Y, it justifies the huge salary"

Than you'd expect they'd be basically treated as sales, and actually account for the amount they bring in.

Also sales is often a hella hard job with high turnover.

Nah, the football coach argument is much easier: There is lots of money in college football, and nearly all of it is banned from going to the players. Therefore there are nearly unlimited funds for coaches.
