So funny how for years they opined that a FBS playoff was impossible and cited classes, exams, conference championship games, etc....and now they magically can entertain a 14 team playoff

Yep And it’s not the NCAA that’s responsible for this madness; it’s university presidents

Maybe the Ivy presidents will see the same light in FBS?

Nahhhhhh. No money.

Under proposed 14-team format, which this says is closer to being set in stone.

"(There will no longer be a participation bonus for any of the other leagues -- a detail that was frustrating to some leaders in the Group of 5.)

The Group of Five schools revenue will increase to just under $1.8 million from the current $1.5 million. According to multiple sources, American Athletic Conference commissioner Mike Aresco has been the most outspoken critic of the plan, but hasn't been able to garner enough support from other commissioners to fight it."

I believe there is a Prostitution Museum in Amsterdam and you will find a picture of each B1G and SEC President in the Hall of Fame there. So I’ve heard.

I’ll just say it - a 14 team playoff is a terrible idea. You’re going to have 9-3 teams in the playoff. Games like Ohio St. - Michigan can be rendered meaningless.

The Big Ten and SEC and whoever has the finances to do it need to break off to their own level.

So many changes to college athletics, this may be one of the worst.
