This will not work. Why? TV marginalization. Too many of these so called "top tier" teams play in metro areas like East Doohickey...its about ratings. You can't just strip out teams like this. Take Northeast...say you strip out BC, Syracuse, Rutgers, U Conn, Pitt from Top Tier. Why should anyone in Northeast watch college FB again? These are huge metro areas. A rating of 1 or 2 in NY or Boston equals all these college towns put together...college sports fans don't get this. Never will.  I worked in industry. TV contracts like ESPN just signed will be EPIC disasters

You think NYC folks are going to watch  Tennessee vs Texas A & M??...this NIL stuff will not only eliminate competitive balance in CFB...it will absolutely kill TV ratings.

Looking forward to seeing big TV rating numbers from Gainesville, Tuscsloosa, Knoxville, College Station, Norman...might even beat Profesional Bull Riding.

College Football is on life support...I'm telling you, they got 3 years to straighten this mess out. I don't know if they can. We could be watching beginning of end...with minor league football the end product.
