I don't care about the salary per se, but what are these bowl execs doing for the 11 months out of the year when the game is dormant?

Being an executive is hard work. You oversee a staff that is responsible for lining up TV contracts, advertising, marketing, security, and hotel deals. All the while smoothing with other executives to smooth out all of the wrinkles that come up. You have to be able to fire people, while making them feel good about it. Etc, etc, etc.
Only 0.001% of the population has the right skill set.
Simple supply and demand.

Nothing you just described is difficult as long as you're a good at delegating, Peter principle. Etc.
What an executive makes has no bearing on what a player doesn't make.
Pretty sure no one here wants bill deciding if they are paid too much. Or gives salary back.
Hence
Who cares?

It's a symptom of how out of whack pay and power for those who sit in their ivory towers has become. Obviously you don't care or think It's an issue. If they were paid $2,000,000, maybe? I'm sure they all sit on corporate boards and have many other streams of income as well, like Emmert. They don't need to be forced to give salary back, but they are out of touch more and more and the gap between them and the average US worker is too large.
There's a chart somewhere which compares the ratio of CEO pay to the avg. worker. The US is way out of proportion compared to most other advanced countries. This isn't exactly a direct comparison as players aren't paid, but it's hard to swallow that some higher up makes say $700,000 for maybe two months of full time work while the kids are literally risking injury for some college credits or usually at best a PE or Sociology degree. The vast majority won't make any NFL money.
