We were watching 60 minutes last night and they interviewed the head of the Pittsburgh Medical Center--huge conglomerate that makes McLaren look like a baby. Anyway as Leslie Stahl pointed out the high prices charged by NON PROFIT hospitals she asked the guy how much he made--$ 8 million!!--they had 8 or more executives at over a million apiece. Then she asked him how to lower hospital costs. You know, he didn't mention taking a pay cut!!! He became very defensive and refused to see her point that he was part of the problem! So how does Jim Harbaugh enter into it? Well, when a university's highest paid employee is a football coach something is wrong. I have two suggestions--neither of which will see the light of day. 1--NO ONE and I mean NO ONE, makes over $1 million. 2--Major universities make their football programs pro minor leagues, pay the players, and let them take classes as regular students--maybe at a reduced rate. The sham that they're students who play football is a big joke--they jump from team to team just like the pros and the NCAA looks the other way. College football--at least at the top level--has become the minor league of the NFL so let's make it official.
