The NCAA can prevent its coaches from signing private contracts with boosters, athletic foundations etc
Then all the good coaches would only work in the NFL. These coaching salaries are good for the fans of big-time college football that like to watch good football.

Yeah, that would work. While we're at it, let's cap all incomes for anyone in the entertainment industry, singers, artists, etc. Wait, let's cap corporate salaries for CEOs, too.
Because that is how society should motivate people to excel at what they do.

No. If that happens, every good college coach will go to the NFL. Les Miles would have left LSU already. Urban Meyer would have left for the NFL a long time ago. Malzahn and Briles and a host of other up and coming college coaches would eventually leave as well. It would hurt the college game tremendously.

Would not work due to all the points already brought up.
It would be interesting to have a tiered cap system with the bulk of additional income based strictly on incentive bonuses such as:
-graduation rates
-GPA benchmarks
-winning percentage
-bowl win (tiered base on bowl prestige)
-championships
-tenure at a program
If you really want to throw a wrinkle into this, one could reward programs meeting the scholarly metrics with more scholarships and punish poorer performing programs with scholarship restrictions. It would really make recruiting decisions more interesting, especially if financial incentives for the coach/staff were weighted more heavily in the direction for performance in the classroom. Never will happen..

That's exactly how TOPS works for non-athletes. Sliding scale if benefits based on ACT/GPA upon entry and then maintaining GPA. If your grades decline so does your scholly and you can never regain full benefits.

"Zero"? That's just retarded.

While I think coaches make a lot more than they probably should, I am not about to ask anyone to contain it. The market will bear what it can.
As far as coaches being mercenaries, what college and fanbase is loyal to a coach? As long as they are winning, they are gods. The minute they have a mediocre season or two, the boosters are on planes and making backroom deals to oust them. Mack Brown was a Texas man for 16 years. He won them a national title. Where is he after the Alamo Bowl?
Hanging out with Lou Holtz and Mark May most likely.
At least the huge salaries don't allow me to feel sorry for them when they do get fired. I wish I had a golden parachute like most do.

Zero is the correct amount of $ players receive, i'm talking paycheck cash.

All that free stuff they receive is worth a lot of money

They could do this if we were North Korea and the dear leader approved.

The better issue is should the tax exempt status go away and not have a commie price control. I do believe the market and purpose has gotten out of whack with 7 million salary.
