Which conservatively comes out to ~$160,000/year. So without buying any equipment, just uniforms and coach salary, schools pay ~$185,000/year for 10 games (9 if you live in Kansas).

You must have a very rich school if that is true. And to my knowledge, the only football coaches that get paid are the head coaches and sometimes the assistant head coaches.
