My point is that professors aren't overcompensated, because they "bring in" about $100k per class of tuition, which is about $667/hour-- although obviously deductions need to be made for administrative costs, classes are the main service-- assuming 150 hours of work per class, but are paid substantially less.

The fact that they also do research as a full-time job means that they're even less overcompensated (by which I mean, "more undercompensated").
