NCAA Football southern methodist Mustangs

June Jones opted to leave a relatively cushy situation down in Hawai'i to try and resurrect the long-suffering Southern Methodist football team.

Suffice it to say, things have not gone as planned in Jones' debut season at SMU. The Mustangs are 1-9 - and now will play their final pair of games minus two of the best receivers in the country after Jones laid the smack down.

Three SMU starters – junior receiver Emmanuel Sanders, sophomore receiver Aldrick Robinson and linebacker Justin Smart – have been suspended for the final two games.

Sanders, Robinson and Smart were suspended under coach June Jones' "three strikes" rule. A player can pick up a strike for missing or being late to practice, team meetings and study halls, among other violations.

No word on exactly what Sanders, Smart and Robinson were guilty of, but none have had any publicized off-the-field trouble this season. Robinson has the fourth-most receiving yards in the nation with 1,047 and Sanders check in at No. 10 with 958.

Look, I'm not the one saying Charlie Weis is underpaid. It's the fine folks over at Coaches Hot Seat who claim that the best-paid coach in college football isn't making enough. Notre Dame's head coach makes $4.2 million a year, but Coaches Hot Seat says he ought to be paid $5.25 million.

Where do they get off saying this stuff? They didn't just pull that number out of thin air. Coaches Hot Seat figures that a coach should be paid 7.5% of his school's football revenue. Why 7.5%? I don't know, but they claim that the average coach takes in 7.61% of the team's football revenue, so their numbers seem reasonable. Still, take all this with a grain of salt.

Weis is getting shafted by more than a million bucks a year, so is he the most underpaid coach in college football? Nope. Not even close. The school getting the biggest bargain, as measured in sheer dollars, is Georgia. Few can argue with Mark Richt's record as the head Bulldog and, at $2.2 million a year, he probably doesn't remember what ramen noodles taste like. CHS says he ought to be getting just under $5 million. Mack Brown? Underpaid. Jim Tressel? Ditto.

The list of underpaid coaches doesn't stop there.
