The SEC-ification of College Sports is killing the sport.
This quote stands out:
"Former TCU defensive coordinator Joe Gillespie recently vented to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram about what college coaching has become. Less than a year after coaching in the CFP National Championship, Gillespie was fired in December. He decided to take a head coaching job at Waco Midway High School.
"At times, you had kids asking for more money than I make," Gillespie told the Star-Telegram, "certainly asking for more money than some of my assistants were making. Unfortunately, I grew up in the school of, 'Holy moly, I get my school paid for?' That would have blown my mind.""
