All I can say is what was stated yesterday on national TV. G5 teams have to be in to avoid Anti-Trust lawsuits and laws. That’s why it’s happening. Nobody thought James Madison was better than Notre Dame

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.

I just mentioned NASCAR before I read your post. I don't care what any average fan is telling me on a message board. I'm stating facts when I say that fans are turning away from college football. I'm the only family member that watches any games. My kids and granddaughter are 100% turned off by the sport. I work with a bunch of folks that were diehard fans and don't watch at all anymore.

TV product is bloated with commercials. NASCAR doubled down on more commercials / non antenna (FOX, NBC, CBS, ABC) options. NFL cut out touchdown - commercial - kickoff - commercial. College keeps expanding commercial times and cutting game time. NFL just cut commercial time and made it premium to watch.
NFL teams have less turnover year over year than college right now. College needs multi year protections both ways expeditiously.
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!
