We spend a good amount of time here talking about the limitations the Syracuse Orange face when it comes to coaching salaries. If you listen to a lot of NCAA administrators you’ll hear talk about rules being needed to “keep a level playing field”. With that in mind, SBNation’s Jason Kirk wrote this piece about a coach salary cap with the idea that such a measure could make college football more competitive.
It’s unlikely that schools would willingly agree to this, but if it comes down to implementing a coach salary cap or paying players, the idea suddenly becomes a bit more plausible.
