Universities are supposed to have a mission to advance the interest of their communities and states.

There are going to be some programs who cry uncle, move down or drop football all together. However, the average G5 program is getting enough of a revenue bump to afford a 1 million dollar coach these days. The fact that these programs are making 3, 4, 5 million more in revenue than what they were 10 years ago is very real.

I don't think you'll see salaries in the G5 go up too much more because after that it begins to cut into revenues too much. The only programs that will chase 10 million are the very elite.
