Well the hardest part to making it perfect would be realignment again and 4 conferences of 16 teams each. Let's face it NIL has made this a professional sport and there's money everywhere. Yet there are teams in, I'll call it by is old moniker, Division 1A, that do not stand a snowballs chance in hell of ever reaching a final let alone winning one.Where do I sign?
So the new 1A becomes a 64 team league, 16 make the playoff, which will still be the same teams every year, right? A few stragglers will show up from time to time of course. The rest are in Division 1B. The MAC, WAC, SUN BELT etc. whom are also going to be able to benefit from NIL as well, if they run the business correctly.
Now for the kicker: the worst team from each of the 4 conferences gets relegated each February and the best 4 from the 1B lot move up. Gone would be the days of terrible athletic departments being the annual conferences doormats, but still getting to share the conferences bounty which they never contribute to. You suck too bad this year? Adios. Maybe next year. And, hey fresh blood once in awhile keeps things interesting.
Obviously 1A is the NFL minor leagues at this point let's not kid ourselves and football would have to separate from the other sports due to the relegation rule but so what? Doesn't mean they lose school affiliation so fans and alumni don't have to switch allegiance, that would be brutal.
TV rights, conferences payouts and the possible school issues are still going to exist.
Now these are just the lunatic rumblings of a fringe fanatic that lives for college football and all things Buckeyes so there's a whole crap load of T's and I's that the nerds would have to sort out but you get the picture I think? (FYI this rambling and napkin spitballing should all be read in Jack Burtons voice for posterity)
