re: AAC Commissioner: BCS was fairer system than what we have now

The whole purpose of a committee is to screw Cincinnati, Coastal Carolina, and anyone else not a member in good standing of the Good Ole Boys Club, Inc.

10 conferences of 10 teams. Each team plays a 10 game schedule. 9 conference games and 1 OOC game. Every conference would have a round robin schedule. No championship games, the best regular season conference record wins the conference.

10 autobids, 6 at large bids. 16 team playoff. First two rounds hosted on higher seed's campus, final four and championship game sites can be rotated just like they are now.

I know people would hate to see the MAC champion in the CFP because they'd get blown out, but conference champions get blown out in FCS playoffs and March Madness every year. At least they get a chance to settle it on the field.

First of all, that's only 100 teams. What are you going to do with the other 28 teams?

Then, only 10 regular-season games? So you think everyone is going to voluntarily give up the lost revenue of cutting their schedules by 17%? You think it would be a good idea for Alabama and LSU and Georgia and Florida to willingly forfeit, say, $5,000,000 in revenue from ticket sales from games you want to cut?

How about the non-profits who earn needed funds by selling concessions at those games? Is it a good idea for their funds to be cut?

So it would be a good idea for the communities and the businesses of Athens and Tuscaloosa and Knoxville to give up the revenue from 100,000 consumers on those two dates?

It would be a good idea for Kent State to willingly give up the $1,000,000 from their budget for a game in Tuscaloosa?

It be a good idea to have to sit through first round games with Alabama and Clemson and Ohio State blowing out Louisiana and Coastal Carolina and Tulsa by 5 touchdowns?

There's literally nothing about your idea that's good.

Drop them down. There are too many team in FBS as it is.

I'm thinking solely in terms of scheduling uniformity.

If you need other programs to subsidize you, it is time to drop football or move down where the expenses are less. I've thought for a very long time that Kent State and Akron specifically need to drop to FCS.

Again, it gives every single team in FBS a chance to settle it on the field.

And what gives you, or anyone else, the right to do that?

So again, you think it's a good idea for those teams and communities to forfeit millions of dollars.

Make up your mind. Do you want to give them the opportunity to settle it on the field, or do you want to take away their opportunities?

Even with 8, unless you're willing to put 3-4 SEC teams in, for example, you're going to have to sit through Alabama or Clemson vs. Northwestern or Iowa in the first round. You don't think that's watered down? Those would be 35 point wins.

I'm assuming you don't think the winner of, America East, for example, doesn't belong in the NCAA tournament because they're probably going to get slaughtered in the first round?

There really needs to be more anger over what’s going on to the g5. If there was any year to give them an opportunity it’s this one and instead they’re telling them they don’t give 2 shits.

The sun belt is paying for how bad they were 10 and 20 years ago but it’s a way different conference now.

Coastal has played 11 games and won them all, they had an open date and best BYU instead of sitting on their arse.

They should be rewarded for this. It’s bull shite.

Who cares? The point is the best thing for the long term health of the sport would be for every school to actually have a chance to get in. Participation rates across the country are dropping, attendance is dropping, TV viewership is dropping. The best way to combat that is to give people from every school a real reason to watch.

Win your conference and you're in. If every school has a chance you will see a lot more athletes willing to go elsewhere than they are now. The talent being more spread out is good for the game. More people having a reason to care is good for the game. If there is a blowout in the first round oh well. That doesn't stop every other level of football from doing it that way and it shouldn't be an excuse for FBS to say it can't happen. Alabama and Clemson are not always going to be such monsters. Eventually Saban and Dabo will be gone. Those two currently being so dominant is a terrible excuse for saying every team shouldn't have a chance.
