Of course Tressel is worth the money, in the sense that he brings even more money, directly and indirectly, to the University than the massive sums he's paid. But that's really just a reflection of the priorities that I believe Cincibuck was referring to.
As far as the five most talented in their profession, that's really not a valid comparison since there are hundreds of college professors (for example) for every football coach, but even if it were, a highly paid coach makes far more money than any professor anywhere; even a Nobel Prize winner. Again, it's priorites of the public at large. I'm sure as hell not sitting around during the day reading about what talented researchers may be coming to
OSU. And at the end of the day, a lot more people care deeply about what
OSU does on the gridiron than about any academic issues.
