According to a 2008 academic salary survey (the best I could do at 6:55 AM), the mean salary of a college/university president was $350K; the mean salary of a college/university football coach was $1.1M (as in million).

Meanwhile the students protest that CEOs and university presidents are overpaid. I'll admit that corporate executive salaries need curbing, but a coach making almost 3X the president?

It may not make me any more inclined to add extra loaded firearms around the house, but it does make me more inclined to keep 25-year shelf life food in the basement while things degenerate around me.
