    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.

    Lower scholarships from 85 to 70.

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

    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.

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

    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.

    We had 2 very very very good playoff games and then everyone freaks out when Georgia blows out tcu

    We were guranteed a blowout playoff game we always get one. I?ve seen many blowouts in the nfl this year but yeah not a 65-7 national title game

    The moment was too big for tcu

    Now on to the question

    I think some of the issue with college football is the fact that outside of the South . Not many people even pay attention to college football or college sports at all compared to professional.

    Huge states like California and New York that are loaded with talented football players out of high school give 0 shits about investing in a football program and being die hard for it

    College football has always been like this always will be . Sometimes games like this will happen

    Lots of southern elite boosters will dump all their money into their alum?s football program just to have something to brag about over their neighbor. That?s just how it is and always will be.

    It?s all about matchups and tcu matched up horrifically with Georgia

    Tcu would?ve beaten Ohio state but Ohio state could match up with Georgia better than tcu could.

    I bet Texas and A&M have been pissed off that a little school like tcu can spend a quarter of what they spend on football and they can spent millions of more dollars and buy recruits and A&M can?t even make a damn bowl game

    I think college football will get very interesting here very very soon and especially in the sec

    Kirby and Georgia have begun a dynasty

    Saban and bama aren?t going anywhere

    LSU and Brian Kelly be competiting with them as well

    Jimbo and A$M are going to throw enough money at it and eventually it may work with or without jimbo

    Tennessee and heupel are building something

    And then the one I am absolutely terrified of

    Hugh freeze and Auburn. They will be a force to recogn with very soon.

    They cut from 105 to 85. So it's been done before.
