If they expand the playoffs to 16 teams, they should do away with the bowl season after the regular season. Instead, I think a spring bowl season matching teams up for a spring game would honestly draw more interest vs seeing a 6-6 MAC team play a 6-6 directional U in the special K bowl.

Power 4: 16 team playoffs, no byes. Top 8 host bottom 8 in the first round. The remaining rounds are played in the following bowls...

Sugar, Cotton, Fiesta, Peach, Citrus, Orange, and Rose bowls. Each bowl rotates rounds and getting to host the championship game.

Group of 5: 16 team playoffs, no byes. Top 8 host bottom 8 in first round. The remaining rounds are played in the following mid-major bowls...

Sun, Gator, Liberty, Texas, Arizona, Birmingham, bowls. Each bowl rotates rounds. But the Championship game is to be played every year in Hawaii at the Hawaii Bowl.

Beyond these, I couldnt care less if the remaining bowls disappeared forever.

NIL has nothing to do with playing. Or even being on a team.
So, no.

It’s not supposed to be tied to it but there’s no question it is. Do you think these players are getting paid to hawk pizza and burgers? They are getting paid to play at a particular university.

The attendance at most of these bowls, especially the early ones, has been an embarrassment. I can't imagine thay many are tuning in either

They aren't even going to do the hosting going forward. Or that's what is being reported. They're sucking the very life out of CFB.

The playoff committee has shown that they will punish you for losing an opening weekend game so this will not work.

And there's the distinction.

I've steadily stated it's a shell-game, a ruse, that everyone has to pretend isn't pay for play. However, contractually stipulating a NIL clawback for opting out of bowl games is prohibited since it's prohibited to demand the player attend or play for a particular university.

Nearly four years in and the forum is still clogged up with nonsensical advocacy of things either illegitimate or illegal. It's tiresome.

1. Let's make NIL performance based
2. Let's implement an "NIT" for non CFP teams
3. Let's reinstate the sit out one year rule for transfers

How would you do that with NIL, which are 3rd-party agreements? Agreements the NCAA forbids to induce a student-athlete to attend a particular school and even forbids requiring them to play a sport. The NCAA and P5/4 schools are paying $2.8B to former players over 10 years for having denied them access to NIL income.

Now, since the schools can revenue-share, that implies you are an active athlete and your compensation is merit-based. That plan may be able to contain performance terms/conditions...I don't know. But a substantial portion of compensation will still be from either collective or direct NIL agreements with business interests. If the quote by a GM at a university is accurate - that average revenue sharing $$ for starters is pushing $600K - the $20.5M revenue-sharing cap/team won't go far if you've large FB, BB, and baseball programs. You literally could have a third or more of that tied up in a handful of football skill players without even beginning to allocate for the rest of 1st and 2nd team, or basket and baseball.

'Meh' on 2.
'No' on '3'. After stoving in their heads over such practices, the courts aren't going to allow the NCAA to cartelize again. Nor should they. Scholarships are 1-year agreements as is. Why should the school have greater security than the player? How about we have the school sit out a year when they discard players for the new shiny talent?
