CBA means return of the bag game and selective enforcement. I would imagine the SEC finds this very appealing

It’s not college football anymore. Might as well have 32 teams sign affiliate agreements with NFL teams and become minor league for the pros

How are you going to get buy in from 130 different schools at all different levels. Is going to be a train wreck any way you cut it.

You're not. That's why there will be a "Big 2" very soon, and it'll just be the SEC and B1G in one big league. Been headed this way for at least 5 years now.

I think it would be more like enforcement in the pro leagues.

It really should be one big league with regional divisions. Same as every other sport. There will be enough in the CBA (academic requirements, etc) to keep it college football.
The players are already pros. Just make it organized.

Yes, that's what I meant. One big league, if you want to make the AFC be the SEC and the NFC be the B1G, great. But there will be one tier of college football, and then everyone else. Soon.

Disclaimer...I am a Union guy to the bone....but the Universities/Conferences had all the leverage about a decade ago, anything they would have proposed would have almost universally accepted by the athletes and the public. They would have been hailed as progressive and employee friendly no mater the terms and conditions. In short, they missed their shot and the hay is out of the barn. The players/employees now hold the cards on compensation and have overwhelming public support.

Miami has to get into the P2. The future of the program is on the line if we get left behind. If push comes to shove and the P2 decides to say ***** everyone else and form their own league, we’re completely ****ed.

I'm just hoping I live to see the day where college football breaks into divisions and conferences similar to the NFL, and determine playoffs THAT way. I am sick of the stupid, fraudulent, biased polls that determine who gets in. Fake SOS is killing the sport. I want all opinions out of it.

If you can get eligibility limits to end, that’s exactly what I could see happening.

I could see them eliminating the scholarship/NLI/student aid **** all together. You are not a student, just employed by the university to play ball. Seems inevitable

It was ruined when y’all white knighted for players to get paid.

I agree there has to be something done about the current chaos in CFB but many times when unions get involved there’s corruption, favoritism and deadlocks amongst the governing body.
Be careful what you ask for.

It will be interesting to see how those leagues handle the bottom half of teams. Will they keep the Perdue, Minnesota, and Arkansas type school or will they be more interested in Miami etc? Will he TV executives demand teams that get an audience? Not many people are watching a Minnesota vs Perdue game outside that regional area.
