If this hypothesis is correct, then it would be limited to big time football, and you wouldn't see it at JV games, lightweight games, or the DIII games where the audience gets in for free and is usually outnumbered by the players. Anyone know if this sort of coach conduct is widespread at the lower levels too, or just a phenomenon of the showcase contests?

The NCAA and the national coordinator have made very clear that they expect coaches who come onto the field to protest officiating to be penalized.
Unfortunately the NCAA and Steve Shaw don't have any control over the conferences when it comes to assigning games.
