re: We have ESPN to thank for this fiasco

I copied this over from another post:

All of you are idiots.

Every single college sport including Division II football plays a playoff or tournament.

We’ve been led to believe that Div. I football cannot handle a playoff. We are all wrong.

It comes down to old white men protecting their interest with bowl game money and tie ins. That is as simple as it gets.

The FSU decision was based on money and TV ratings. Nothing more. Once again old white men and their money.

I’m sorry but it’s time to call bull shite. Do I think we need a 32 team bracket like Div II? No.

But a 16 team playoff would be fantastic. 8 is perfect but more teams brings better ratings and more opportunities.

I feel sorry for FSU because at its core, this decision kills the spirit of the game.

In 3 years players will be employees of the University with healthcare and protection. A roster will cost $50MM or more.

At this point the top 30 or so colleges who can afford it will break off and start a semi-pro league.The dominoes are falling and this is where we are headed.

I hope your team has money.
