Letter to the editor: Coaches should not be paid more than educators

Published December 4, 2006 at 12:00 pm

The revelation that coaches are paid grossly higher than teachers upsets me. The fact their salaries are upwards of one million dollars is outrageous and makes me angry and frustrated. This money could be put towards numerous better educational benefits. Add coaches’ salaries to free rides athletes get and it’s no wonder people struggle to pay a hefty 43K tab to attend Syracuse University, Ms. Cantor. Have the benefits of sports outweighed what the founding fathers at SU set out to do?
