just when you thought things couldn’t get any more stupid, the B1G hits us with this from the top rope. This has to be the worst proposal for the CFP ever presented.

8-4 Minnesota playing 7-5 South Carolina is definitely what we want in the CFP!

ESPN says <drool dripping from their mouth> "We think this idea has some merit" as they start getting whiffs of money........

I’ll always say it should have been 8 teams, but agreed. 28 teams is just a pure cash grab.

This proposal is just asinine. Had this been the model for last season, then 7-5 Baylor, 8-4 Louisville, and 7-5 Michigan would’ve made the playoff. Why even bother with playing the regular season at that point?

I have the same fear. I fully expect there to be a B1G-SEC super league in the next 10-15 years. I think whenever Clemson and Florida State make the jump out of the ACC is when we cross the Rubicon.

I truly hate where this sport seems to be headed.

Same here. Money and greed ruin everything doesn’t it? I grew up watching college football in the 80’s and 90’s and that was the best era of college football ever imo and we are never going back to that time. The people that claim they love the sport seem to be hell bent on destroying it.

In some ways, that super league "saves" college football for most schools who won't have the resources and desire to essentially "go pro."

Lots of schools can dial way back on NIL naturally because the money really isn't there for the school to invest in athletics and we might see a general return of normal athletics overall.

Schools like UT are doomed, most likely, to get sucked into pro sports.

Seems like everything was better in the 80s. 80s music, sports, movies, and common sense.

Or people forget a lot of bad stuff like only a handful of games being televised and things like this:

For the first time I'm having difficulty getting excited about the college football season. Conference expansion, transfer portal, N.I.L. & the like have beaten me down. Still...GO VOLS.

I still love college football, but the path it's going down at break-neck speed will, in my opinion, make it something that makes it hard for fans to go to the games. I truly hope that is never what it comes to.

That is a lot of football games for college players and rosters. I think the ACC and Big12 are the big winners in this proposal. They have over-representation. It will also be a huge incentive for programs to move heaven and earth to get into those conferences. They win big if this became reality.

The most comical part of that idiotic proposal is the idea of seven (!) Big 10 teams getting automatic bids. Which is probably the whole point when you're a league with 4-5 decent teams at most, if that many.

Talk about killing the regular season, I mean you're going to have 4 and 5-loss teams getting bids. And conferences, which are losing meaning as it stands now, will be a complete afterthought, as will traditional rivalries. Everything that was ever special about CFB would be finally killed off because of the greed of suits to whom the sport is just another revenue source.

With South Carolina 9-3, and TAMU at 8-4, and whichever G5 school didn't make it struggling for the last at large.
