Here's How You Fix College Football

Lets settle in to where we are, be the best we can be and we'll be fine. Marshall will always have a football program, now where we end up, is another matter.
1. I think we are too deep into this, I still push for the top 48 teams go to the Big10 and SEC, they develop their own division with its own rules as realistically teams like Ohio St and Miami (Oh) are in completely different situations and need different things to help them be successful.
2. If you shave 48 teams out of the 131, you’re left with about 83 teams. Maybe shave one team off. Leave the 12 MAC teams together and form 7 other 10 team conferences. Conferences are small enough that everyone plays each other (unlike 14-16 team conferences) and you can still have a conference championship game. Then the 8 conference champions have their own playoff, makes postseason meaningful again.

Let it implode. It will implode on the next large economic down turn and when the brick and mortar colleges start failing. You might be looking at several state bankruptcies in the next 2-5 years anyway. Throw in a global conflict with China and we are on our way to not worrying about Dabo Sweeny Or Nick Saban having a 175,000 square foot sauna for a football player driving a new BMW.
You can only play with funny money so long. It is going to come tumbling down like a deck of cards.

Now that you bring it up, honestly a lot of these schools need to be reclassified as being for-profit colleges instead of non-profit colleges and lose state funding. The whole idea behind all of this is to MAKE the most money, which goes against state funded colleges.
Correct and these players need to pay their fair share to Uncle Sugar just like we do.
Frankly, it might be time to bring back the draft in this country.
That is one thing that may keep the 2 big conferences from totally breaking off from the NCAA:
'Right now, the NCAA falls under the charitable exemption in the Internal Revenue Code for educational institutions. But if the entertainment provided by the NCAA is not provided by amateurs, it is really no different from entertainment provided by media companies like ESPN or Amazon, which are not tax exempt.'
Ending the NCAA's Tax Exemption Should Be a Slam Dunk
The NCAA is a billion-dollar a year media company, and it should pay its taxes.

How in the world would the SEC or Big 10 be able to defend, selectively plucking the largest revenue generating schools, to become a conglomerate of the highest TV contracts and overall financial footprint in the US?
Then arguing against the G5, as inferior through their revenue generation as some shielded means relating to "competition" on the field.
I was hearing a brief discussion that major renovations to stadiums and facilities may become a thing of the past because the money will be needed to become more of a presence in NIL...which once more, how are you going to argue this is NOT financially driven?
It really seems like the whole thing may collapse on itself.
But spare states like WV and have the NCAA and powers that be to simply say, "Hey, wvu, stop trying to make being part of a major conference happen. It's not. Now go back to your coal mining and singing songs about Virginia."
Some state schools being left out will benefit long term.
Great insight. I honestly hope it blows up on the bigger schools.That is one thing that may keep the 2 big conferences from totally breaking off from the NCAA:

THE G5 NEEDS TO BREAK AWAY. Then open an invitation to any P5 over the coming years that have buyer's remorse.
I've been saying this for years. If the G5 broke away it would hurt a lot of the P5 schools a lot more than it would hurt the G5. The G5 already doesn't belong. We get a pat on the head (the Access Bowl) and whatever crumbs fall off the table (obligatory spots 15-25 in the Top25). Outside of Boise and whatever flavor of the month G5 school that season (see coastal) no random G5 is making it into the Championship game. It's a tall order to pull of what Cincy did and it cannot be done with consistency. 90% of the G5 is spending themselves dry and fleecing their donors over pipe dreams. So if we did our own thing we really don't lose much. Except mercenary games. Which are what would kill most of the P5. Most of 2nd tier to bottom tier P5 schools make their seasons with weak OoC scheduling. If it wasn't for the OoC patsies they'd rarely break .500. If they didn't have us to prop up their 6-6 to 8-5 records they'd be finishing sub .500 more often than not. Let Baylor, UK, IU, Rutgers, and the like have to only play P5s and see how long their fan bases remain content.
Then let those idiots spend tens of millions of dollars on unproven HS players that never see the field or bust out and see how long their model sustains. Schools like WVU won't be able to keep above water if CFB continues to trend in the direction it's heading now.
