Oh, I wasn't disagreeing with that at all. In fact, I think that if
you compare the impact on society that a *teacher* makes, with the
impact on society that a *sports figure or entertainer* makes, it
would seem that the sports figure should be paid a lot less and the
teacher should be paid a lot more. I agree they need to subsist (and
should at least be making enough to live comfortably, if not be filthy
rich).

I've said for years that they should clean out the administration.
They save their own asses first, of course.
