Yep.

The NCAA is the most capitalist of the major sports in this country.

Schools form conferences that keep 100% of TV revenue and conference championship revenue. There is no guarantee share of gate revenue to visiting opponents. There is no over-arching body that determines scheduling, leaving it to the schools and conferences to set their own schedules.

The pro leagues require each team get an equal number of regular season games, the NFL even adjusts schedules to make it harder for top teams to win and easier for weaker teams to win. In college a top football team may play 60% more home games than a non-power league school.

The revenue from basketball post-season is divided into multiple funds. One fund rewards the number of scholarships awarded and one rewards the number of sports sponsored, those funds reward having large expensive programs. Another fund awards money based on post-season victories. But that revenue that goes into the sharing process is not that significant compared to gate receipts and TV revenue of the power league schools.

The football post-season divides the vast bulk of revenue between the five power leagues and awards around 15% of the remainder to be divided among the other five leagues.

There is no draft to insure poor performing teams have given priority access to top talent to become more competitive.

Now we move to the golden rule where he who has the gold makes the rules.
