With pro athletes, every team has to spend a certain amount of money on a set number of players. Somebody is bound to get overpaid. That’s just math.
As far as college coaches, ADs, big donors, and fans get really attached to a coach. There’s some psychological term for overvaluing something once it’s yours. Can’t remember right off hand. And they’re really worried about other people taking their coach. And they don’t have to worry about paying players so they just overpay coaches and give them ridiculous contracts. They’re probably also the type of people who are overvalued and overpaid executives in their personal lives as well.
Good points.
