re: Saw an interesting post on Reddit that shows lack of parity in today’s CFB is overblown

Exactly. The only way to fix the problem is either 1) reduce scholarships from 85 down to 80 or so and 2) reduce the number of teams in Division 1 down from 130 to a more respectable number.... don't know whether that's 65 or 65 + the American or what

I don’t see how number 2 would accomplish anything. Actually, I think it’d probably make it worse. It’s gonna be harder to recruit for mid-tier schools going 6-6 as opposed to 9-3/8-4.

More power conference games also favors teams that are able to stack depth. This past season was basically played separate from the G5, and it didn’t help.

I prefer tiers. Top group (25 guys) - likeness control, set salary like a student worker for media appearances, second group (40 guys) - COA, third group (20 guys) - base scholarship. Everyone is guaranteed the second or third tier once they get on campus. Top tier is renewed annually.

I think it’d work better and doesn’t take away from the players.
