How long before the coach's salary bubble bursts?

In the past 7 years or so coaching salaries at the top of CFB has been rising dramatically.....even the richest coffers aren't inexhaustiable and the budgetary burden can only be justified with a superior product.
As an overall downswing is realistically impossible.....my question is how long before an incentive based contract takes ascendency? Where the coach receives a relatively modest base pay, with a wide range of incentives based on yearly performance.
A win, wins against ranked teams, teams in the top 10, wins against more than three quarters of SEC schedule, etc.
As I understand it, what incentives that are there are pretty much "pinnacle perks."
Rewards for reaching the NC game or a conference championship.
What I am talking about is expanding that to mid season actions or performances.
(And I am speaking of a trend in the CFB market in general, not something that should be directed towards Les specifically. But there are lots of programs which would fund such a program appealing with their current coach. Iowa and Kirk Ferentz comes to mind.)

Could have been when people stop going to games for HDTV...
But now the TV deals make schools even more money than attendance, so IDK.

I wouldn't want to be hiring the next coach right after this starts to happen. Who the hell would come in to that situation after contracts have typically never been written this way?

when they become TOO HIGH OF A % of the REVENUES..
which means, that if REVENUES fall at any point, THE PROCESS would be accelerated....
some schools will have some big losses because of long-term contracts

I don't know.
A layman's guess is that it will start by being imposed on up and coming coaches who haven't yet proven themselves and are eager to do so.
"Why yes, we will let you coach here from Michigan State.....given you accept this way of paying."
And in reality, I'm surprised it isn't already that way to more of an extent. The base will still be multi million for the premier schools so it's not like coaches will have to worry about bankruptcy due to a bad year.....

I actually am in favor of this.
I would be interested in seeing implementation and how that goes.

When I watch games on TV (pro and college), I have noticed lately a lot more empty seats. I have caught myself watching the big screen when at games. At some point, the cost to see a game will keep me at home in front of the HDTV.
