There are pages and pages of NCAA rules on what college football teams can and can't do, presumably in the interest of maintaining a competitive balance. How many times you can contact a recruit, what you can feed him when he visits campus, the list goes on and on.

Yet it's perfectly OK to pay coaches millions and millions a year, spend tens or hundreds of millions on facilities, and so on. As people are pointing out, these things certainly contribute to giving teams competitive advantages.

It seems to me that the NCAA is worrying about the nickles and dimes while the dollars are flying out the window. Not sure if anything can or should be done about it, but it just strikes me as somewhat odd.

What does everyone else think?
