That was the message Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith sent out when he called salaries of the men leading college football programs "ridiculous."
Smith, according to The Lantern, dismissed the contract numbers of new Texas A&M coach Jimbo Fisher and Alabama coach Nick Saban.
Fishersigned a 10-year, $75 million contract with the Aggies in December after leaving Florida State.
Saban, meanwhile, earned spent $11,132,000, according to USA Today head coach salary database.
