pete_dushenski: BingoBoingo: makes sense given what i've heard about the size of the hs market. http://www.businessinsider.com/allen-texas-largest-high-school-football-stadiums-2011-2 << 5yo and still bananas in scale. there are surely bigger venues today.
BingoBoingo: And if you get to an especially spendy team that isn't careful about curating their acquisitions like the Dodgers, you get the personality conflicts.

BingoBoingo: Baseball is great because teams tend to suck at deciding who the player to offer the mega, instead of merely lucrative, contracts to.
thestringpuller: prolly why baseball is so skewed. lack of salary cap on players. well capitalized teams always beat out the underdogs, (hence the creation of moneyball)
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: Well there's a lot of NFL/College back and forth on all coaching positions. In the lower levels of the coaching heirarchy high school coaches often make it in.
thestringpuller: nope. they don't have salary cap it seems.
thestringpuller imagaines elementary school PE teacher coaching the shit out of some 6 year olds playing football.
BingoBoingo: And occasially yes, HS teachers make the jump from public high school coaching to public university coaching and the long slog of trying to supplant Saban in the job market.
pete_dushenski: did saban start as a hs teacher then ?
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: ANd this is because it turns out public schools really do the tournament market thing with some jobs.
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: Nick Saban is the person who has the job all PE teachers and coaches want.
mircea_popescu: well there's a lot of championships :D
pete_dushenski: nah, just things that start with the letter 'g'
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: Phys ed egalitarianism though backstops a tournament market. Not every PE teacher/coach can be Nick Saban, but they all want to be.
pete_dushenski: "…teacher pay in the United States seems more like something from Soviet-era Russia than 21st century America. Wages for teachers are low, egalitarian and not based on performance. We pay phys ed teachers about the same as math teachers despite the fact that math teachers have greater opportunities elsewhere in the economy. As a result, we have lots of excellent phys ed teachers but not nearly enough excellent math
