The Future of College Sports

Professional sports at least recognize the inequities of small markets vs large markets
and have tried to address that. College sports have no such equalizer.
Yes. If Pro football had allowed the total hyena-like antics we see from SEC and BT, the final NFL would have had maybe 18-20 teams with no small markets represented.

There is a balance that can be found. It dies nit make sense in this worked to great CUSA the same exact status and stance as SEC and BT. But those 2 alone? Equally wrong as asserting that CUSA must granted same exact standing and power as SEC ad BT.

So, I do think there will be a new Top Tier of CFB. But I think it will contain at least 3 and hopefully 4 leagues. I think that new CFB Top Tier also will demand and get a new Top Tier for basketball, because they will want to eliminate leagues that are so small time in basketball that that they are no more being in that Top Tier for a revenue sport than CUAS has the right too be in CFB Top Tier.

Let’s put in a salary cap for coaches, and see how many are for it. Coaches may not earn more that 50% of the roster salary.
 
How do you prove you didn't tamper?
Proving the negative is a difficult thing to do. Not impossible, but very difficult. And in college sports, if anything good comes to the gaining school the presumption will NOT be innocent until proven guilty, whether anyone wants to admit it.
 
She's been reading this site. Seriously, common sense:

- A second chance to get to the right school, but not the whimsical annual changes.
- Earning a degree remains the primary focus of EDUCATIONAL institutions (Yes, SEC, tOSU, and several others, I am talking to YOU!). And I mean EARN the degree, UNC!
- Life lessons are as important as the degree. You make an agreement you fulfill the agreement!
- Become responsible adults. Whoudda thunk it!

Great points. BTW, I saw a quote from an article last night that the NCAA is going to allow schools to have contracts with players that would prevent them from entering the portal. I'll see if I can find it later.
 

Glad they are trying but after Wild hack's thoughts on enforcement and that there will always be some teams breaking the rules, an agreement for hard limits with penalties is not likely to pass. Wildhack said he believes that Congress will have to impose a legal framework. And an anti-trust exemption.

There are many who doubt that Cingress will take any action, but as the arms ($) race increases exponentially public and university pressure will build for them to do something. Just maybe a question of how many schools drop out before we get there and whether certain interests in Congress will successfully insist on treating "student-athletes" as employees of their school and allow (if not mandate) collective bargaining.
 
I think the revenue sharing is the most important part as it helps to stabilize the market. The antitrust aspect is worth it for the schools, which will only see rising litigation costs go up unless there is meaningful rules and enforcemen, consistent across all states.

I am not impressed with the separation of the G6. I think they need to rein in the P4 first, if not, there is no guarantee and the G6 may not survive, at best becoming Division 1.5.

It’s getting closer to a pro-sports model, that is important.
 
If the G6 is to have their own playoff, then why don't we have FBS-A and FBS-AA?

I have wanted to split D1 into three for decades at this point.


If we pool TV rights it would help to go back to regional divisions.

For FB you can have 14 five team divisions (70 teams so another two added to the P4). The playoffs are the 14 division winners plus 2 wild cards winners (4 wild card teams who have to play each other to make it to the Sweet 16).

For BBall you put together two of the divisions to make a 10 team conference. So you basically end up with the ACC, Big East, Big Eight, Big Ten, PAC, SEC, SWC.


Clemson, GA Tech, NC State, South Carolina, Wake
Duke, FSU, MD, UNC, UVA

BC, Miami, Notre Dame, SU, UConn
PSU, Pitt, RU, West Virginia, VA Tech

Colorado, Iowa State, Kansas, Kansas State, Nebraska
Cincinnati, Louisville, Missouri, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State

Michigan, Michigan State, Minnesota, Northwestern, Wisconsin
Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, OSU, Purdue

Arizona, Arizona State, BYU, UCLA, USC
Cal, Oregon, Stanford, Utah, Washington

Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Tennessee, Vanderbilt
Alabama, Auburn, Ole Miss, LSU, Mississippi State

A&M, Baylor, SMU, TCU, Texas Tech
Arkansas, Houston, Memphis, Texas, UCF



So for SU

In FB we play
Yearly: BC, Miami, Notre Dame, UConn, West Virginia
Once in 4 years: PSU, Pitt, RU, VA Tech
One team from each from the 6 other regions

In BBall we play
Yearly Home and Away: BC, Miami, Notre Dame, UConn, West Virginia, PSU, Pitt, RU, VA Tech
