    As a 100 % conservative I vote for socialism in College Football

    We absolutely have to level the playing field to make the game more competitive!

    There's a reason the NFL gets higher ratings, even when it seems to obvious to most of us that college football is more compelling.

    Professional sports figured this out a long time ago. It's why attendance has declined every year for the last 10 years in cfb. Costs rising to attend games and only about 5-6 teams have a shot at winning it all. Rest of us just playing for bowl order.

    Maybe next Tornado will do the trick!

    Lower scholarships from 85 to 70.

    This is an easy fix that'll make a huge difference

    Will never happen. They’re not about to cut 2,000+ scholarships.

    I believe 65 would be a better number

    Scholarships matter little when boosters can pay a player anything they want. Hell, teams like Bama and Texas could have zero scholarships and still field a better team than half of hte SEC.

    Is the issue the SEC just that much better than the rest of college football?

    College football here is just another level than the other conferences.

    The critics will argue that's 2000 (131 x 15) kids that don't get a scholarship that would have. Not saying I agree, but that's what that they will say.

    I still think you let less transfer. If you sign a kid, it's a 4-year commitment. If he leaves, you lose that scholarship.

    Pass a rule that says every NIL dollar has to be routed through the school's official NIL fund and enforce it harshly, both by the NCAA and the IRS.

    Install an MLB-style "luxury tax" that transfers some NIL funds from the higher $ schools in a conference to the lower $ in a conference. Not in-between conferences transfers, just moving money around within the conferences, to make each conference more competitive.

    Allow transfers without sitting out a year only when transferring from a school to a lower NIL cap. Talent should trickle down, not up. If you transfer to a school with a higher NIL cap, you have to sit out a year.

    Those 3 things would help a lot and make the product on the field more interesting without totally overthrowing the social order.

    No what this would do is raise all boats. Those kids will find out that D1, D2, NAIA, D3 are all really good competition and the ones that will be bumped down to those levels will still get scholarships.
