Louisiana Gov. Supports Salary Caps for College Coaches

Paul Steinbach Headshot

The salaries of Louisiana State University athletic department personnel are paid with private funds, and LSU is the rare athletic department that actually subsidizes the university's academic efforts — to the tune of $50 million over the past five years. Still, Louisiana governor John Bel Edwards believes coaching salaries have gotten out of hand, and he feels a nationwide salary cap is overdue.

Speaking to The Advocate of Baton Rouge, Edwards said, â€śI am concerned. I’m not as concerned as I would be if those were tax dollars being spent. I do think that there has to be some look nationally at some sort of salary caps for the organizations. This is an arms race, and it’s gotten out of control. Some of the salaries and buyouts are obscene, and they can create all sorts of problems."
