But see, Wrexham and what has happened there is exactly the point.  If you have a willingness to invest then you can have access to the upper tiers and if you don’t, well then that’s on you.

But if you have tiers here and a relegation system, and the champion at a minimum of each tier has access to the playoff, then you have a model that is even fairer.  If you invest to win your tier, you can compete for the national title.  But after that year you need to keep investing because in order to get access to the playoff again (or higher odds at the playoff which the higher tiers will have) then you need to keep investing.  No one is stopping Louisiana Lafayette or Coastal Carolina from dumping a ton of cash into their programs.  All they need is one big money alum in some cases to do that (thinking Memphis / Fed Ex as an example)).

And if you don’t want to invest, then you stay in your tier.  But you could also potentially have relegation / promotion between the bottom tier and FCS as well.  That actually might be the coolest thing about it.

There’s a ton to figure out with a model like this but it ensures the long term health and viability of CFB.
