The coaching salaries are only one small bit of this conversation. The bigger area of concern in my mind are the revenue streams that are purposely designed with restricted access for what are mainly, as in around 90%, public entities that are tax exempt and receive federal money.

Agreed. I feel a little differently about private institutions, but when it comes to government entities, the playing field needs to be levelled. In no way should the University of Oklahoma be making 100x what the University of Idaho (to name one example) does just because they got lucky by having a few more boosters and hiring the right guy who could get the right recruits at the right time, thereby building a football juggernaut over many decades. It is a system that has tremendously rewarded luck and being at the right place at the right time. And now the haves closed the gates to the have nots (or unlucky). This should not be the case for public entities. It is past time for some national oversight by Congress. I think media rights pooling needs to be discussed, but at a minimum, the playoffs should be open to any football program and some oversight of the rankings system used to determine entrance into the playoffs needs to happen.
