re: Should we do away with rent-a-win cupcake games?

Those games are mostly uninteresting. However, to eliminate those games would most certainly doom many FCS teams. Their football budgets depend on that payout.

Regardless of all the talk that might come out of an AD or coach, the decision makers at the vast majority of Power 5 programs don't give a shite about helping those FCS or Group of 5 programs so that whole line of thought is really irrelevant. It is always going to be about getting those extra home games as the only thing that really matters. Programs want that gate revenue and the local businesses pressure the schools to get those visitors into the city an extra 2 or 3 saturdays a year. If they found a way to make sure that Tuscaloosa, Athens or Baton Rouge can maintain that cash coming into the city, when the next scheduling decisions come out, you will hear them say "FCWho?". Rent a wins don't matter as much any longer when it comes to being bowl eligible because the bowls will adjust. You can also play more P5 teams now and it won't screw your playoff hopes.
