The SEC and power 4 dilemma

There is always going to be a game between SEC teams where one team wins, and the other loses (duh). The parity is so close that any given weekend the upsets are going to happen. The word "upset" should just be removed altogether. The coaches are paid millions upon millions and there is no way they can all produce a winning season. The money and the fan base seeing results one year and failure the next is going to be the "normal" rather than the exception. That alone should stop the 10 year 10 million dollar or more contracts. The payouts cannot continue at that rate. I have said before that like the NFL the money is going to shift to the players in a few years. It's getting closer but these are now professional programs and will shift in that very direction. The 6 or more coaches being fired at power 4 schools are upon us. I just hope we all don't get priced out.

The last true vestiges of college football exist on the campuses in Pullman, WA and Corvallis, OR.

No. The Ivy League: 8-team regional conference with each school playing a 10-game schedule. Round-robin format. No conference championship. No athletic scholarships. Academic Index system that requires student-athletes to be at least somewhat competitive academically. Just out there for the love of the game. The athletes actually (somewhat) represent their student bodies.

Well, yeah. I just meant football that other people actually watch.
