How to fix college football

There is no fixing it. It’s a huge business now and you can never get back what once made it the most beautiful sport in the world.

It's the coaching where Bama separates themselves from others....when your staff is full of former NFL coaches(head at that)you will put a better product on the field period. Nah will putting a cap on this or reducing that put an end to the superior coaching advantage🤷🏿‍♂️, IDK but there or teams with just as much talent IMO.

When people stop watching because they don’t care about the same 5 or 6 teams going, then things will change.

It's not too far fetched to say that 6-8 teams are playing in a completely different league than the rest of us. Fvck them and let them play in their own league with nothing connecting them but the ridiculous amounts of money they spend.

Let them be NFL lite and form a new league and the rest of us stay as CFB.

We've had regulation since forever. In the mid-2000's the NCAA stopped even pretending to enforce them.

The biggest thing plaguing our nation is the same thing plaguing college football; Never-ending corruption.

Forget the NCAA doing anything. Other teams need to sack up and cheat like Bama. Buy players but be smart about it. NCAA doesn't have any legal authority, so all a school has to do is have plausible deniability and become indignant when asked to cooperate in an investigation. "Why should we cooperate when these are spurious allegations? We aren't going to allow the NCAA to go on a fishing expedition." The NCAA won't be able to do anything other than wag its finger.

This, but that's why I liked the OP's idea of home games for the 5 - 12 seed play-in games. The current format is boring and unimaginative.

Put a cap on the number of 5 and 4 stars each team must sign.

THIS. It's now up to the conference presidents/AD'S to fix this mess. Just like back in the day when the NCAA put limits on scholarships to prevent stockpiling of players. Well some are still stock piling only noone is doing anything about it. If it's now all about the money, let's get more like the NFL and create more parity among the teams (they do it through the draft process as you know). First they have to admit there IS a problem and then find the solution to fix it. It's not difficult.
 
1. Need to create a governing body where the power 4 split off from the NCAA and run this like a real league.

2. implement slot matching draft where players pick a top 5 and schools rank recruits. Top matches go to the teams where they recruit and team line up. Will limit top schools from taking all 5 stars as they will not match at the top of the board.

3. Pay players based on slot. Example, top slotted players get 250K a year, second slot gets 225k, if you are slotted 10th you get 100k, and so on. Enough money so guys will want to be top slot for a school versus being the 10th ranked for a Bama or OSU.

They have top level coaching. That’s for sure, but that hardly makes the difference overall. It does agains our staff maybe, but in general it’s clearly the talent. We all saw how average Saban was with equal talent in the NFL.

Agreed. Combining top level coaching, elite (and illegal) recruiting results in what we’ve seen for the past several years.

I’d love to a conference, say the ACC, call their bluff and revolt against the NCAA.

Can’t do what? Says who? What are you going to do about it? All of our schools are still going to play. Stop us.

The NCAA sulks, and other conferences follow suit.
