Just do 28 and let all 10 conf champs AQ. You've already got the extra weekend for it. Then so what if a few games are duds and blowouts. Gonna have plenty of exciting games and maybe some cinderellas.
Fix it and retail the academic / athletic / transfer calendars. Then incentivize staying at your original school (can't deincentive transferring but can reward staying in a school.)
This can get fixed or this can go the way of half empty nascar stadiums.
Remember NASCAR??Quote:

I work with a bunch of folks that were diehard fans and don't watch at all anymore.Quote:

But overall - make a structure that makes sense (you earn your spot - not make it the Alabama invitational). Calendar that makes sense and works with Academic calendar. Then actually improve the product. 3 hour or less game times. Affordable tickets for families. Crack down on secondary market inflaters.
You nailed it. And Nick Saban as Commissioner!Quote:
