Wondering if increasingly inflated salaries for coaches fuels the NIL

Or at least the justification for the NIL and transfer portal. It’s hard to maintain even the slightest pretense that college sports are anything but big business. I am not sure where this will end up but things have drastically changed in the last 25 years and may change even more rapidly in the future. At some point, a University’s sports entities may simply be a business completely independent of the University just sharing name and physical proximity.

Similar problems, but funding comes from different places

The inflated coaches salaries are driven by all the massive TV deals the conferences have to divvy up amongst their member schools. The media companies own CFB, and pay a premium for it, which funds the arms race amongst the premier programs. Which is my number 1 gripe about the current landscape in general.
NIL is entirely separate, and is a result of a broader level of asset inflation regarding the programs' boosters and key financers, as the schools themselves aren't "supposed" to be doing any of this.
In my view, it's the same core problem of a macro-level asset inflation due to atmospheric capital injections by the Fed over the past 15 years, but we'd need to head over to P&R to get into that topic haha.
There needs to be some walls for everyone to play in, wrt to overall capital allocation tied to coaching staffs, player NIL funds, facilities, etc. relative to the level that school is playing at. (i.e. NFL style salary cap) The issue is, there's not even any definition of what level schools are playing at, so it's just a massive mess with money sloshing around everywhere.

Getting it while the getting is good. People and entities operating in their own economic best interests.
Times they are a changing.

setting a salary cap-esque parameter for CFB for total capital allocations would yield more parity and a better product. that should be the objective.
I threw coaches in there, but doesn't need to be coaches' salaries. The number of coaches is fine for this. The number of analysts being a loophole, maybe not so much, for example.
it's one reason the NFL is so competitive and financially viable to the owners due to great risk mitigation.

The massive amounts of money being paid for TV content that is provided

to networks - content that is built upon the talents and labors of the players - money that has fueled the high coaching salaries.

Talent needs coaching and a recognition platform ( the University) to maximize value. So there’s something of a symbiotic relationship.
