re: College football is broken. Here's how it can be fixed.

Much of this thread is a grotesque overreaction, as is the article that prompted it. CFB is not "broken." Every era of CFB has featured its own set of powerhouse programs that dominated championship opportunities. Florida State, Nebraska, and Florida in the 1990s. Miami, Penn State, Notre Dame, Oklahoma in the 1980s. Before that, Notre Dame. Alabama, Oklahoma, USC. Going all the way back to Minnesota in the late 30s and early 40s, and further back still to Yale in the 1880s. Nothing has changed, except for the fact that certain fans and commentators today want to portray the situation as a function of some broader structural or social inequity - the oh-so-fashionable view of the hour.
