If some sort of common monetary rules are not

created and enforced across college football, look for the SEC to break away from the NCAA and form a new playoff. Could be the ACC or some ACC teams join in. Makes no sense to compete with unlimited Billionaire money, with no rules or limits. It may take a few more years, but it's all about buying the best team, and at some point, it makes no since. Even the NFL has limits that levels the playing field, making it the most watched sports. College football is still popular because fans still associate the school with the team, how long will that last, especially when they start losing. JMHO

Wouldn’t that make players leave the sec for schools that have no limit?

It is now schools that want to spend money versus schools that don’t

If I ever win the big $1B plus Powerball I’m going to spend as much as it takes to build a UGA super team of the best 2 deep seniors and super seniors across the country just to make a point and force change.

Wow, a whole billion? That's cute.

It's going to take a lot more than that to change this from the current trajectory. Arguably, this year's playoffs were a step in the right direction: so far, other than Ole Miss-UGA and Ole Miss-Miami, all of the games have been really lopsided. The NCAA can't have it's premier games be boring for very long, especially when they overlap with the NFL playoff race and wild card round.

If they try to outbid me it will just prove my point. You figure $5M average per player…two deep and rounding out to around 50 players would be $250M?
On second thought…screw that….I can find a better use for that money.

Buy out every single available ticket to the Championship game and then don't go. They'd have fun trying to hide all the empty seats.

The NCAA wholly organizes and operates March Madness.
If the SEC breaks away from the NCAA, they'd kick the SEC out of March Madness, and there are too many SEC schools that care about basketball now other than Kentucky. Florida fans and Auburn fans really really wouldn't be happy.

My Powerball daydream is to turn the high school football team around here into an runaway swinging dick powerhouse. That would be way cheaper and more feasible.

The fact about it is it’s only negatively affecting schools who had good programs before NIL. We are now in the minority and it’s not going away. ESPNs market is growing by having Indiana ole miss Texas tech and more in the playoff. More people are tuning in all over the country bc their schools are in the playoffs. That’s why. They’re going to keep expanding it til we get to 24 teams.

Remember, Georgia Tech’s decision to go independent was a smart decision at the time.

Miami vs Ohio State was the best game and SEC fatigue is real

This has been going on for years. The difference now is that's more public knowledge. Good luck limiting what you can pay a player. The market is the market.
The biggest problem is the transfer portal. Unlimited transfers with no repercussions means less stability and more and bigger NIL money.
You are correct, however, The biggest schools must break away from the NCAA. Create a CBA holding the schools and players accountable to contracts that are based solely on TV revenue, not some billionaire's check book.

No it hasn't...not to this degree.If that was the case schools like Texas Tech and Indiana would have been relevant a long time ago.

TV revenue? Zero chance would hold up in court

All schools must agree on one media contract & then agree not to cheat.

Getting agreement on the former would be difficult. Getting agreement on the latter would be easy, but everyone would assume that no one intends to actually be bound by it and simply continue on with whatever they were doing.

Never happen not unless conferences are dissolved and why would schools with bigger followings and viewership agree to same payouts as schools that don't?
The only organization that has the power to fix SOME of what's wrong with CFB is the CFP committee.They can and should set guidelines for a school to be eligible to make the playoffs.NO school should be eligible if they pay a HS player to sign.A school can pay a HS player if they want but just won't be invited to the playoffs and once he's in school for a year he should obviously be eligible to capitalize on NIL.

If the NCAA has no enforcement power, how would the SEC have enforcement power?
