[Concept] Fixing CFB Realignment

Yeah, I don't fault them, and I don't see that they are creating any problems per se. It's their money to spend as they wish. If it's OK for Ohio State and Texas to have a lot more money than anyone else, why not Texas Tech and Oregon? No way Indiana does squat without Mark Cuban.

In a weird and twisted way, the whole "NIL" thing (the sham that it is) has created a bit of parity. The whole thing will come crashing down in the end, but it's kind of fun, if not odd, to see Texas Tech in the CFP.

Explain how teams without big donors obtain parity with those who do. NIL may create some new haves but some of the have-nots are, in time, going to be absolutely ruined, IMO.

I agree. But without some rich dudes, we wouldn't have Indiana, Texas Tech, and Oregon in the playoffs.

It's always been about the rich schools. Until the last few years, it was about riches according to your conference payouts. That created a lot of have-nots, too. Now suddenly, a lot of those schools aren't boasting about their riches anymore, because other schools found far more riches elsewhere, and it just isn't fair.

"He with the most money rules" isn't ever a good recipe for parity, regardless of who is supplying the money. If the NFL was set up like college football, the Dallas Cowboys would be champs every year. Thankfully, the NFL has built-in guardrails to protect all of the franchises, including small market teams like Kansas City and Green Bay. That means every game of the season matters, and viewership is a multiple of CFB.

You hand every major college football program a salary cap, reign in NIL, equal revenue sharing from media, and stop with the unlimited transfers, every weekend will be bedlam all season long. Viewership will double or more. The conference commissioners don't like that because it spells extinction for all of them except one.

I'd like to see a "conference salary cap" where conferences can only shell out X dollars to the whole conference.

It'll be hilarious watching the two-team Texabama conference kick everyone else out so they can give $1b to just the Horns and Tide. And they'll just have to play each other 12 times each year since nobody will want to schedule them out of spite.
