@sbmcnamara@chrisman The MLS has the 6th most revenue in the world after the big five in Europe. And I think the salaries match. Thus although they aren't The Premier League, they are far above 3rd division.
@ThePatteFacts Realistically, NIL is probably the #1 factor now. OSU might be able to offer equal NIL to others as it has a better O-line, which will make him look better for the NFL, & better training, which can prepare him for a bigger check later. But even OSU can't offer below market here.
This is a dumb idea. I thought the current 6/9 teams making the playoffs was good, even though a little high at 67% making the playoffs. 8/9 making the playoffs makes the regular season almost meaningless.
A new era of Playoff football in 2027!
ROUND ONE – TWO DIVISION SHOWDOWNS AND TWO PLAY-IN GAMES
Division Showdown: The first- and second-place teams in each division face off. Winners earn a bye to Round Three (Grey Cup Semi-Finals) with home-field advantage; losers move on to Round Two (Elimination Games).
Play-In Games: Teams finishing outside the Top-2 in each division are seeded Nos. 5-8, with No. 9 eliminated from playoff contention. The Play-In Games will see No. 5 host No. 8, and No. 6 host No. 7. Winners advance to Round Two, while losers are eliminated.
ROUND TWO – ELIMINATION GAMES
Division Showdown losers host Play-In Game winners with matchups based on regular-season records. Winners advance to Round Three (Grey Cup Semi-Finals) and losers are eliminated.
ROUND THREE – GREY CUP SEMI-FINALS
Division Showdown winners host Elimination Game winners with matchups based on regular-season record. Victors advance to the Grey Cup.
@iluvcalraleigh@JaguarGator9NFL Yeah, it also depends a little on team need. Like if a Smith & a Heisman finalist DE are both available at 3, it may depend on which team is drafting then. I don't think it's a reach if you take the guy that fills your need even though most put him 1 spot lower.
@RedditCFB This seems mainly about the transfer portal. Now if you ball out at FCS or D2, you are given a big NIL check & no penalty to transfer to power 4. Plus, a year of power college football likely moves you up the draft board if you have the option to declare now.
