I don't disagree, but your original post was about paying athletes who play well, and comparing that to education. Throwing money at education will not improve it unless you hold the teachers and the schools accountable for what they do for the money. We are spending plenty of money for education and not getting an adequate return on the investment. You can pay a lousy teacher $10 million per year but that will not make them teach any better.
