FWIW I eventually foresee ..….2/3 super conferences.….all the NCAA/television money will be pumped into those 30 some “Power” 2/3 schools….Those schools entire athletic programs will compete within these super conferences and will become the “real” D1 programs.
All the other remaining schools/athletic programs in the country will drop/ compete within a D1-A, D2, D3 conference championship system..(as they do now)
The amount of money the “big” schools are making from these television deals will basically make these schools/facilities so dominant, there is no way a “smaller” school will ever be able to compete/recruit with the “Power” schools…..in any sport.
Anyway…back to subject….Looking forward to start of season…means shop work starts up/big games on Saturday nights/the turn.

That’s exactly what is so wrong with where it’s heading. Completely screws smaller or lesser known programs that have talented players or those that are in a down period after being near the top a decade or two ago. Completely screws programs that follow the rules vs those that definitely cheat anyway they can to stay in the top 20.
Top 2 from each of four power conferences or top 4 from each of two power conferences to have an 8 team playoff. Natty game on New Year's Day. No more stringing the shit out past first week of January.
And ya it's bullshit for everyone left out..
EDIT to be clear. This is only what I expect within the nest 5 year.
I've never been less excited about a college football season, and college football is my favorite thing in the world.
Thank goodness I'm not the only one. I was talking to a friend this morning and said, "It's downright unAmerican, but I've largely given up on CFB."
I was good with Penn State (makes sense) and even Nebraska (it's sorta, kinda Midwest)...I begrudgingly accepted MD...b/c who gives a shit about MD football...but I CANNOT accept USC and UCLA in the Big10!!!!
That being said: Go Bucky...I still check your highlights. <shrug>
It makes perfect sense...until you think about it.
I suspect there's logic behind the madness, but I'm too dumb to see it.
I'm moderately excited, but it all seems so..... academic.... with all the conference churn we know is coming. Hard to get stoked playing teams I know won't be in the same conference as us in a couple years.
Go that way really REALLY fast. If something gets in your way, TURN!
