The future of college football

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.

Nobody wanted to hear it because “change bad” but that super league that got floated out would’ve been perfect. I mean the conferences (SEC and B1G) will never let it happen but this would be great.

I don't want to be doom and gloom, but I would say really enjoy this run that the Canes are on and hopefully we win one more this year or in the next 2-3 years before the sport that we've enjoyed is completely different and gone. At that point, I'm not sure it will be the same watching for me and probably not worth it, but certainly to each his own.

Well said. I hope we can win one, maybe 2 before college football becomes something we don’t recognize anymore.

Yeah no thanks to being in a conference with UF, FSU, UGA, and GT LOL--do you want to lose two or three division games every year?

The problem with this division of teams is that some conferences are really weak, while others are way too strong. It should be more like a Florida conference of Miami, UF, FSU, USF, UCF, FAU, and FIU.
 
The future of college football is the minor league of the NFL. There really isn’t college football anymore when amateur athletics was abolished for greed.
 
Collective bargaining will be difficult to get programs in agreement. The notion of a mega conference or two broken down by region makes sense. Again, couple problems - why would SEC & Big Ten cede their current dominant positions & what happens to existing long-term broadcast rights contracts?

So right now, NIL is is the determining factor where these kids go (Free market), do you think this organized structure brings about organized parity in player skill/talent as in the NFL (draft-like and pick compensation)? Does it open the door to that possibility?

True, but the schools that cheat are gonna find ways to cheat, idgaf what kinda rules they make. There would have to be some type of non-biased oversight committee, which would probably cost too much money to actually run it correctly. The committees would have to be broken down into conferences to keep the bull**** at a minimum. Keeping an eye on 32 teams (NFL), is easier than trying to keep 130+ schools in line. Even if it’s a success, there still will be the “under the table” negotiations going on.

Do they cheat in NFL with contracts?

I mean I get it. But like take Utah for example. This company invests $500M into it. Do you think they’ll be ok with 9-3, 10-2? Does Utah beating BYU matter to them? They’ll want a return on this investment. The minute they don’t, changes will be made.

I’m thinking more down the line. They are going to trim the margins. Cut fat, all in the name of maximizing profit. There’s a trade off getting in bed with them. That sugar daddy is nice until they come wanting their payment.

It makes no sense putting $5 into Utah's program, let alone $500MM.

After spending tens of millions to lose in court and Congress, schools are realizing that the only way to set enforceable rules is through NFL-style collective bargaining.

It’s the only way to get something lasting that both parties feel good about. It’s good These academics are finally coming around to the reality that this is the only way this moves forward. CBA is the only way because it’s the only way that’s fair.

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

That’s completely false and I’m not really sure you understand what a CBA is, if that’s what you think. CBA does nothing to NIL, NIL is the law. What CBA does is it allows the players to represent themselves in negotiations versus the one-sided nonsense that it’s always been with the NCAA.

I see zero blue bloods doing this. It’s going to be teams looking for some kind of influx into their NIL program. We can hate boosters all we want, but they literally write checks solely to make the team win for their ego.

A PE isn’t going to do that.
