PRESENTED BY ABSOLUTELY FUCKING NOTHING BTW
Crazy Sparty fans are talking like this when they aren’t even the best program in their state
Win something first and then talk your smack.

You’re not a true patriot if you are against a 24 team playoff because why would you want to deny Army the chance to run the triple option through the hearts of the South
Already ran through them once before… SECessionists are ducking our finest
This is best case scenario having every school go “independent” for football and then we can get back to regionalized conferences for all other sports.
College athletics is terrible at seeing problems around the corner. The 24-team playoff is the latest example.
A lot of schools that supported this will regret it because in the end it won't be about the playoff or even the now diminished regular season.
Notre Dame now has the best situation in all of football - almost 100 percent guarantee to make the playoff, freedom to schedule as it wishes, maximization of its own media value.
To use the Big Ten as an example, why wouldn't Ohio State, Michigan and Penn State follow? If you can, be independent. That's the future.
The 18-team Big Ten is bloated, distant and winning it carries little intrinsic or competitive value for the biggest brands.
Those three schools can create a scheduling agreement that would increase their media revenue 2-3x and give the same control over everything. No sharing money. No forced TV times. Eight or even nine home games. Select your own schedule.
Staying in the Big Ten now makes little and perhaps no economic sense. And yes, I do understand the league-wide research grants and so on, but there is always a way around everything.
In terms of athletics, for those schools (and maybe a few more) it's lost revenue for the sake of loyalty and we know how that usually gets settled.
All these middle and lower schools -- even in the P2 -- that supported this because they'll get in the "participation playoff" with an 8-4 record are facing significant risk in the future.
There will come a day when they will now get a share of the Ohio State-Michigan windfall; only Ohio State and Michigan will.
Maybe not tomorrow, but I believe a 24-team playoff makes it closer than ever.
Thoughts?
Unpopular opinion:
This would’ve been lit.
I think SEC/B1G schools are afraid of what might happen when they let everyone else in the playoffs.

Not one person has wanted to have their cake and eat it more than Nick Saban
NEW: Nick Saban on NIL and boosters causing more head coach firings in College Football:
"The cause and effect of paying players is we’re raising money from alumni who now think they should have a say in what happens, and that’s why 33 coaches got fired last year."

PSA:
Every exhibition game in college hoops should be televised or live streamed.
Promote your program!
Don't close it off to America when it's open to local spectators.
