Depends on how you're measuring. Saban is making about 8mil (lazy math) and you think he's worth 70. Let's go crazy, and say he's actually even more valuable, and worth 80 million. So he's making about 1/10th what he should, or 10% of his value. Best student athlete is worth 8 million. They make $0. They're making 0% of their total value back. The cost of the education is meaningless. It's all arbitrary and basically monopoly money costs. Oh, you're getting a full ride to a school that would normally charge you $50K? That's great, but it's not of real value in the same way that actual cash is. This is why I'm a big fan of California's move to allow students to take endorsements.
