This is obscene. I don't know what you do about it. But adjusted for inflation, the Stallings/Bears/Dyes got nowhere near this amount.

These are public institutions and amateur players. No, I'm not advocating paying players, not in the slightest.

The market is due for a correction and that damned soon. Since the playoffs began there have been 3 programs with a legitimate shot to be in the playoff before the season with Oklahoma being kind of the 4th one....and each year a program slips in and keeps a 5th program engaged for a year or two....but outside of Ohio State 2 of the 3 are in the SE United States, with LSU also in the SE winning one and UGA, also in the SE, almost doing so....College Football is quickly becoming a Ohio State and SE US regional sport....and interest is waning outside of those two areas. Bowl games are empty when COVID doesn't exist....storied programs are not selling out stadiums....there just ain't as much interest as there was just a few years ago....and its going to get worse as the 3 at the top show no sign of not being at the top and its a safe bet that Oklahoma, Auburn, LSU, UGA, UF will make up the 4th spot often enough to keep the PAC 12, the rest of the BIG 12 and most of the Big 10 outside of OSU out of the picture...and the last couple of years there were really only 2 teams realistically good enough to win it all...with LSU, from the SE, busting that party up.
