It is only a joke if you make it such. An engineering degree, marketing, business, accounting, even teaching, nursing, etc can all lead to lucrative post-fb careers. Most NFL players are broke within 2 years of leaving football, largely in part to having no other marketable skills. A scholarship gives one the opportunity to acquire those skills. Most players are given that opportunity and refuse to seize it. They do not see its utility until years later when they are destitute and no longer playing sports.

In my opinion, the perfect number is 8 conferences of 12 teams each, but 4 super conferences of 16 teams could work, though it would make schedules significantly more difficult, and likely end many more annual rivalries, something I would rather do what is possible to prevent.

If there is only one player in a “market” e.g. MLB, NFL then there is NO competition. Same for NCAA. This defacto amounts to slavery. The players have no other options. This scarcity in the market is 100% due to the fraudulent financial system and the fact that everyone must operate within it or face government violence.

What you decry about CFB is a by product of the the fiat script of central banking and the usury thereof which is bleeding all of us dry. They are eating out our substance just as Jefferson and anti-federalists predicted.

Leave them the same. Most years the semi final has at least one blow out.

And I also said in the same post that I would like players to be able to go straight from hs to minor leagues where they CAN get paid. You’re like a broken f$&king record of purposely misconstrued and misaligned arguments.

Besides, if you’re so concerned with debt slavery, the federalists, and fiat currency manipulation, get off the Rant and post on the poliboard. The only thing dumber than your takes is your desire to continuously post them.

If student-athlete life is slavery, then call me Toby and send me to the fields. I’d be a slave tomorrow.

Well, I can tell you and anyone who will listen that almost all fields of study are based on lies. Don’t expect you to believe let alone understand but that is our current state whether it be medicine, law, geology, astronomy, economics. Go down the list. For example, Richard Horton, Editor-in-Chief of The Lancet wrote inhis own journal as recently as 2015 that at least 50% of medical publications were based on falsehood.

Education is 100% run by government which intends only to brainwash and enervate and stupify the polity. No rational person would ever agree to put government in charge of education.

There's problems with both.

4 superconferences is a mistake, even though we're headed that way.

8 conferences is better.

My imperfect solution is a bit of a concession (and admittedly not realistic with conferences the way they are now):

7 major conferences. All 7 get an auto bid.
SEC (original 10)
ACC (original, with Fla State and Miami)
SWC (Texas, Ark, A&M, TCU, Baylor etc)
Big 8 (OU, Nebraska, Colorado, Mizzou etc.)
Big Ten (original 10)
Big East (Penn State here, w Pitt, BC, West VA, etc).
Pac 10 (original 10).

That's 7 bids. If you go an 8 team field, the 8th bid goes to the best of Notre Dame, the AAC, Sun Belt, CUSA, Mountain West, etc. There should be one team that emerges.
That prevents the total collapse of the little conferences, because they're still in the bid for the at-large.

If you go 12 team field, you keep the same, and then pick the next four best teams from the overall pool. Probably drop the conference championships at this point, since it would serve to eliminate your best chance at a 2nd team.

Committee would select the at-large, and the overall seeding.

The big bowls would host the games, in rotation. SEC gets Sugar, with Peach as backup when the Sugar is the championship.

It ain't perfect, but it is better than what we have now, and would serve to make football more interesting across the country. Teams like Pitt and Syracuse get their main traditional big rival (Penn State) back, and a chance to get into the playoffs if they can win. Nebraska goes back home to rebuild, Missouri gets some rivals again, etc.

Play all bowl games, pick the top two ranked teams afterward to play for the championship.

If not, drop most bowl games, reward 16 teams with the playoffs and let them play.

They will have to do something to keep the season and post season relevant for most.

Id keep it the same unless they're going to allow on campus playoff games. The 4 seed is already rarely competitive. And I think the argument that allowing more teams in would increase parity isn't really true. But on campus playoff games would be too fun to pass up. Unique college traditions are their biggest advantage over the NFL. Need to leverage that as much as possible

Joel Klatt Nails it IMO

This next link is a video that doesn't explain his rational for a 12 team playoff but explains what it would have looked like after the top 4 was revealed last year. ]

I agree with playing the top two after the bowls are over.
