This is not on the NCAA, it's on the conferences. The NCAA gets a grand total of $0.00 from D-1A football from when it begins in late August until it ends in January. India-noplace would be more than willing to conduct a championship at the D-1A level since the TV contract will make what it gets from the CBS bball contract look like chump change.  The P5 conferences, on the other hand, don't want to change anything because they get all the money from D-1A football, especially the playoff. They would lose the playoff's TV money to the NCAA and they want to keep all of it. I can easily imagine that the P5's contract with ESPN does not allow for more money if the playoffs expand before a certain date, otherwise they would have already expanded. Another reason for the lack of expansion is that the SEC and the B1G did not want to throw a lifeline to the ACC at a time when "everyone" was convinced the ACC was about to implode. Now, the Big XII is floundering and closer to imploding than the ACC was and the SEC and the B1G don't want to throw the Big XII a lifeline when Bevo and the Okies would become available with the implosion. More playoff spots mean less of a chance of implosion.

If you keep in mind that the NCAA gets $0.00 from D1-A football, you'll understand why they have no remorse in dropping the hammer on any football program like USC-w and Bama (both of whom were punished about football violations), some of the biggest football blue bloods. You don't think UNC-CHeat football fans realize that, too?
