Football is a gentlemen’s game, basketball… well not so much.

Crazy is how UGA WBB can be good and UGA MBB can be so bad.

College football is a broken sport. Most of the country outside the southeast and a couple states in the midwest is tuning out.

There's nothing gentleman about Georgia and Clemson's schedules, and there's only one game a week.

i dont think that makes it broken. the coastal and northern states have always been more about professional sports

I'd direct you to the eighties and nineties football polls if you don't think it's pretty strange to see only four teams ranked one over a seven year period.
Consider how good Ohio State and Oklahoma have been in that time period but never ranked even for one week at the top.

I can't speak for Clemson. But the SEC made us do an Auburn non conference schedule (3 cupcakes and a Power 5)

I didn't realize it had gotten this bad. The lack of movement among the top 5 of the past 8-10 years has definitely has made college football a little less exciting.
The last 6 AP polls of the 2007 season had 4 different teams at #1, the same amount as the past 8 seasons combined. There's hope we will see more upsets with conference expansion and the SEC possibly going to 9 conference games a year, but NIL is only making the rich richer.

It's broken because there are no effective rules or controls on how a program should compete, no parity of scheduling, no sensible differentiating in divisions at the D1 level (should be split into 2 or even 3 divisions with seperate titles), and no legitimate postseason.
Sports have defined rules and teams know what they have to do to win. College football has "committees" that use select individuals' personal opinions to determine the postseason. That's not a sport, it's an event.

you make a good argument for the 4 super conferences. i personally like the regionality of it now, but thats cause it favors the south

If 4 superconferences has come to be a decade ago, I think college football may have thrived. I think it's too late now.
Reorganizing the conferences, plus NIL, plus transfer portal is too much change, too fast, at a time when most of the country has already lost interest.
This has NASCAR circa 2005 written all over it. Too many changes that alter what made the game fun in the first place at a time when broad interest is already waning.

Partly because they will drop teams in basketball after a loss, much like in football - only losses in basketball are much more common.

you make good points. i think the pay for play is killing the interest even for fans of teams that stand to gain the most.

- Top hoops programs will play vs a nationally ranked opponent as many times as a football team plays total games.
- Hoops plays a deep cross country P5 non conference schedule
- Hoops plays 40 games a season vs 16.
- Hoops is a national college sport, football is southern regions with an outlier (ND, UM, tOSU).. more diversity/balance.
