Message: [QUOTE="Tornado91, post: 19640, member: 355"] No question, this has to progress to a playoff. I'm not a lawyer, but the issue of antitrust w regard to the BCS and, now more than ever, with college realignment seems destined to drag this into congress. Any playoff would have to allow some form of access (play in, wild card, etc) to non-superconference schools. In hoops, everyone at least has a conference bid. I think the schools probably want to move in that direction. According to the NCAA article in The Atlantic (long, but very good), it sounds like the schools could use experience developing a FB playoff to eventually wrest control of March madness from the NCAA, taking (if I read this correctly) about $1 BILLION and 95% of the NCAA's annual revenue, all of the 'hush money' the NCAA pays to its schools, ultimately rendering the NCAA powerless. Explains why Mark Emmert is outspoken against realignment. [/QUOTE]
