Posting memorable and impactful college football games that would’ve been just another forgettable crazy game that fades out of memory with a 24 team playoff

You’re not getting that kind of rev share “with unlimited mobility”. That’s outrageous.

When the collective bargaining time comes you can bet multi-year contracts and transfer fee payouts will be part of the deal. The players will have to sacrifice some of that freedom for a bigger piece of the pie

@nateburleson The schools are allowed to offer less money, right?

Like, they’re all competing with each other outbidding and spending outrageous amounts while raising costs onto ticket buyers… and then complaining about how it’s unsustainable. Like yeah, stop spending so damn much

[Saving CFB @SavingCFB]

@Mr704intheQC @texaggie9325 JMU is one of many schools that recently jumped up to FBS and their spending is likely not sustainable unless they can win now and make lots of 💰.

FBS should be divided further between the schools that are able to sustainably fund top tier athletic programs and those who can’t

[Saving CFB @SavingCFB]

@TomGrothJr @Stumpf_Brian Which is used to fund the entire athletic department

[Saving CFB @SavingCFB]

@valleyofthedogs @CFBAlerts_ I don’t schedule the games… I imagine it would get less tv viewers which makes it harder to warrant travel costs

But would be an incredible experience for the young men… and tbh the same experience for those Brazilian locals who don’t have a lot of American football knowledge

[Saving CFB @SavingCFB]

@TheRealCruzOx Unfortunately they want to ruin the meaning of who is or isn’t #2 so that we all tune in to #24 vs #32 to see whose gonna get blasted by 9-3 Alabama in the playoffs

[Saving CFB @SavingCFB]

@valleyofthedogs @CFBAlerts_ TCU and North Carolina open their season this year in Ireland. Multiple random midwestern teams have done the same the past few years.

American football simply isn’t popular yet in these other countries. It has very little to do with the teams/brands.

@NwoBuck @macfbenthusiast @jones_jerod @DouglasTS The MAC football enthusiast obviously

[Saving CFB @SavingCFB]

@valleyofthedogs @CFBAlerts_ Good thing neither of those schools were playing there I guess

[Saving CFB @SavingCFB]

@lo9406 @andysparks78 @JakeBequette91 There technically wouldn’t be a law limiting it… the law would allow a commissioner of college athletics set a limit on what an individual program can spend on wages, not how much an individual player can make. Just like many other sports leagues.

[Saving CFB @SavingCFB]

@SkoldenDomer @DouglasTS @RossDellenger Indiana didn’t even have a top 30 talent roster. To act like they won because of some massive spend vs an incredible job of coaching and development is an entirely disingenuous argument with no evidence other than Mark Cuban being a celebrity.

Every P4 program has billionaires

@ralphieboywvu @BradPowers7 People don’t tune in when wins and losses don’t matter.

I already proved this with college basketball but you keep moving the goalposts because “theyre different” so I’m not gonna argue with you

[Saving CFB @SavingCFB]

@ralphieboywvu @BradPowers7 Adding 8-4 Iowa to the playoff is going to prevent people from tuning into regular season games of teams they’re not fans of because those games are no longer significant.

It’s clear you don’t care about or even want a high quality regular season, have a good day 👋🏻

[Saving CFB @SavingCFB]

@ralphieboywvu @BradPowers7 The sports are different because one has 13 person rosters and the other has 105 team rosters. Talent is more evenly distributed and basketball games have more randomness than football

None of that negates the negative impact an all-inclusive playoff has to their regular season

[Saving CFB @SavingCFB]

@ralphieboywvu @BradPowers7 Okay fine I’ll compare it to the sport with the highest ratings on the planet.

The English Premier League plays 44 games with NO POSTSEASON AT ALL, it’s on 2-3 nights/week from August-May and dominates any American League from a viewership AND tradition standpoint.

[Saving CFB @SavingCFB]

@CalBearsGR8 @YahooSports How tf does adding more games solve this problem?

[Saving CFB @SavingCFB]

@doc_1029 @YahooSports Gonna be on Tubi when no one wants to pay billions of dollars for mediocre teams in an expanded playoff

[Saving CFB @SavingCFB]

@5thDownCFB Let’s add 8 more games and another round of playoffs… that’ll solve the problem

[Saving CFB @SavingCFB]

@ralphieboywvu @BradPowers7 No it’s because the games don’t have any bearing on the season. You can lose almost half your games and still make the sweet 16 like Texas just did.

Saying that I can’t compare the two most popular college sports is outrageous lol wtf do you want me to compare it to?

[Saving CFB @SavingCFB]

@ralphieboywvu @BradPowers7 Of course it is lol

CBB regular season has terrible ratings and attendance for most schools.
