    Most public employees do not generate revenue because they provide a service but some college sports generate revenue. That revenue comes from ticket sales, contributions, and media rights for sports like football, basketball, baseball. Those highly paid coaches are paid from that revenue which also tends to fund many other smaller sports.

      Yeah, I understand in principle why people object, but if you actually look at the finances, it’s generally not taxpayers footing the bill.
