Look you can have your opinion and I'll have mine. It's aight. I think that way is bs. Of that happened to us in baseball you'd think the same way. Sorry. So we may never be big time. But a bunch of bs rules punishing the best is just bs.... and we still wouldn't win it all so there's that.

And maybe the SEC should decide who plays in which bowl based on money rather than record. I'm sure the Orange Bowl back in 2014 would have rather had Florida than us.

The tv deal would be hard to decipher and break up. And yes us getting someone's portion of their bowl is bs.

Do you hate the NFL? Its essentially socialism that the worst team gets the first pick in every round of the draft the next year (they don't even snake it). Really doesn't matter anyway though, the NCAA will never go for a plan that actually penalizes a school for winning a championship. They will always have every school following the same guidelines apart from sanctions. Only way to try and improve things is to reduce total scholarships across the board so the Alabamas and Ohio States can only hoard maybe 20 or 22 players per year rather than 25. The more players the top 10 schools in the country can sign, the less talent that is left for everyone else to sign. But heck, even on this board, we got lots of MSU fans against supporting that so even that probably has no chance to pass. I guess these type fans were against the original legislation taking unlimited scholarships down to 85 total as well. Seems we are stuck with this crappy system I guess.

I actually like how baseball talent is distributed. Just wish it were full schollies

Mighty impressive that you enjoy the same 3-5 team having A chance to win each. Better man than me.

Question:

100 years from now, do the same 5 teams or so still dominate college football?

Without rule changes, I would say basically yes. It?ll fluctuate a hair, but not too much.
