At American universities, coaches for men's sports make over $800,000/year on average, across all sports, from football to lacrosse. Most sports don't make net income at most universities, so are tax-subsidized. Professors make an average of $92,000. Does this make sense?

That's what they say. But they owe tax payers some evidence it's true.

Public university budgets are completely publicly accessible, often online.

The budgets might be accessible, but we need a proper economic analysis of net income from all claimed benefits of extramural sports (e.g. alumni donations, political goodwill, publicity benefits, etc), which can't be easily calculated from public budgets
