I think the BOT cringe at the thought of paying someone $1 million per year. They probably don't pay the BYU President a competitive wage (instead making it a quasi- calling, instead of a real job with real recruitment), why should they pay anyone else a competitive wage?
Why should the football coach be the highest paid person in the church? (If he isn't already).
The answer: because it's not football. It's a business. It's PR. And money is what makes the world go round.
