A few things most of us can agree on:
1. If you don’t have the resources: money, facilities, staff you have no chance to win championships consistently in college football
2. The payout of money to schools bc conferences tv deals is creating haves and have nots in the sport
3. Players (transfers, recruits, current players) are being paid via nil that have no regulations.
4. College football and player acquisition is the Wild Wild West because of the transfer portal and NIL
5. The are few regulations that can be put in place by the NCAA that can prevent what is going on right now. The NCAA getting defeated court has given them no power.
6. College Football is a business and schools and players are treating it like a business
As much as I LOVE Florida and have enjoyed the sec dominance, the sport is in a better place when all regions of the country are interested in the sport. To help fix what is the wild Wild West without going backwards I believe the plan to put into action to make college football better across the country is to make an an nfl model ( pay for play). This is the only thing i can think of to help control the chaos of the spending we are seeing right now in the sport with no regulations. Here is the structure I’d like to see moving forward and it’s similar to the nfl model:
1.
Florida
Fsu
Miami
Uga
Tennessee
2.
Clemson
South Carolina
Unc
Nc state
Uva
3.
Va tech
Penn State
West Virginia
Kentucky
Cincy
4.
Alabama
Auburn
LSU
Ole miss
Arkansas
5.
Oklahoma state
Texas
Oklahoma
Texas a&m
Nebraska
6. Ohio state
Michigan
Michigan state
Wisconsin
Iowa
7. Usc
UCLA
Arizona state
Oregon
Washington
8. Utah
BYU
Missouri
Georgia Tech
Notre Dame
12 game schedule, 4 conferenSo I like the idea of 8 5 team divisions more which would create more variety of teams you play every year vs the 4 10 team divisons.
My divisons would be
1.
Florida
Fsu
Miami
Uga
Tennessee
2.
Clemson
South Carolina
Unc
Nc state
Uva
3.

Penn State

7. Usc
UCLA
Arizona state
Oregon
Washington
8. Utah
BYU
Missouri
Georgia Tech
Notre Dame
12 game schedule (4 division, 8 non division)
12 game playoff 8 division winners, 4 wild cards.
Top 4 get byes
Wildcard round, team with better record regardless of if they are division winner host the playoff game.
Round 2 hosted at the top 4 seeds. Semi finals and championship hosted at a bowl site.
Curious the feedback? It’s similar to the nfl. The difference is there is no draft, contracts are 4 years, we are capping the size of a off field staff. Pay for play is the key here. We must openly have salaries and contracts that have a team salary cap to create more equity in the sport.

Here is the structure I’d like to see moving forward and it’s similar to the nfl model:
- Players where have a salary and sign a 4 year contract. Ever player caps play 5 years. That 5th year if they have graduated is a free agency year.
- 40 team super league - money distributed evenly to all teams of this league with negotiated tv contracts. This league will have a commissioner and will not be under the NCAA.
- There still be a league salary cap ( cannot go over the cap) if you gain 75,000 bc 75,000 left the team, you can replace players by using the 75,000.
- 8 division broken up into 5 teams
- Relegation
- Staff Regulations: 10 onfield 30 onfield 10 paid interns ( can’t go over)
- Penalties for hiring more staff or going over the salary cap = loss of scholarships or loss of money or relegation
- The super league consist of the 40 teams that move the needle financially. Vanderbilt for example is not in this 40 team league. However there will be a lower tier made up of division 1 teams that did not make the 40 team league. The winner of this lower tier league will move up to the 40 team league and the team with the worst record (tie breaker point differential) will be relegated to the lower tier.
