 If there was as much money is education as there is in football, we would likely see:
1.  Massive competitive among individuals for teaching positions, resulting in a much better pool from which to select teachers.
2.  Much better selection criteria for picking teachers. (To put it another way, linebackers are evaluated and selected using a microscope.  Teachers are evaluated and selected using a coke bottle.)
(My intent is not to denigrate teachers.  I have been taught by many talented, noble teachers in my life).
