They look so much slower As much as I'm an ND fan they don't match up with Alabama.....but who does? Maybe Clemson might come close but nobody really, they are loaded again with 5* players only Ohio State comes close in that category. ND might be playing their way out of the "eye candy" for future playoff picks, I'm sure the T A&M and OKL fans would agree. Only 21-7 ND fans should rejoice that they didn't get blown out worse. Oppps missed a 51 yard FG. GO ND, Ohio State and Clemson's only shot at a national championship this year.......or next ? .........add doesn't Nick Saban always look like a miserable person, or is that just me ?

Browns149 Posted January 2, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2021 Saban couldn’t care less about winning the Rose Bowl. The only schools that care about that game are the lesser teams in the BIG TEN and PAC 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can be done with the bowls and WAY more successful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just takes other schools to get a good coach and recruit good players. Other schools have made breakthroughs. Here is the list of CFP participants since it started: Clemson 6 times Alabama 6 times Ohio St. 4 times Oklahoma 4 times Notre Dame 2 times Oregon 1 Washington 1 Michigan St. 1 Florida St. 1 LSU 1 Georgia 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a snowball effect with recruiting. Especially if the rich utilize bagmen. The best chance to fix the system is NIL rights and/or paying the players. An expanded CFP wouldn't hurt though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An expanded CFP wouldn't hurt though At a minimum it should be an 8 team playoff which means 7 of the bowls. The rest can go to all other teams as usual. The only thing that I think all conferences should do is exactly what the SEC does. All bowl monies above expenses to the team going are put in the SEC pot and split equally among all SEC teams so that even in a zero win year, that team gets it's equal share.

The big ten already shared revenue. In fact the big ten has the highest per team revenue. Expanded playoffs will help. NIL would be big too.

Much of the revenue generated from football & basketball (at not only Big 10 schools) funds the other sports programs at the schools. I'm not sure it helps fund say, the science departments or english departments, etc. The NCAA would have to change amateur rules, no? It would also effect athlete's who have Olympic dreams if they get paid (basketball in particular). I do know some guys who played college football, and hear their horror stories about how they have to be careful in receiving any kind of financial aid. Even if their Aunts & Uncles want to send them $50 for Christmas it could be deemed illegal by the NCAA. It's a mess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colleges typically raise tuition 5-6% every year, while many families never realize that in pay raises over a two or 3 year period. I'm not here to argue about illusions or not illusions about amateur sports. In my mind they are amateur sports, but the revenue generated sure isn't amateur, that's for sure.

So continuing to allow the schools and the NCAA to play this guy is foolish. The players should be paid, and at worst they should get NIL rights. The schools fighting this now are the ones benefiting from the current broken system that they're succeeding in by bending the rules are just completely cheating Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
