In any given year, when you only play 53% of your possible opponents, that makes for an interesting "league" schedule.

In any given year, when you only play 53% of your possible opponents, that makes for an interesting "league" schedule. And only getting bigger. And now the CFP has everyone up in arms about doing away with conference championships. I feel like we're not far from non-con games being a thing of the past. Quite unfortunate. Just a runaway train of nil dollars, tv dollars, and whiners.

Just a runaway train of nil dollars, tv dollars, and whiners. To me the writing on the wall seems pretty clear. We're headed to a 'Premier League' for college football. Basically the top tier (roughly the P4), breaking away from the rest. This will allow them to negotiate one, single TV deal as opposed to several TV deals (i.e. per conference and for the playoffs) and also bring some geographic sanity to conferences again.

Sadly, I believe you are correct. By not counting Jr college time towards eligibility, it allows the pro leagues to keep the players developing longer. I think we will see more Rookies going into the league as starters. I wonder if they will go "all-in" and allow promotions and demotions? Purdue could be a nice fit in the MAC West, just sayin' 😂 "The name's Ohio University, but everybody calls me Ohio. Any of you guys call me Ohio U, and I'll kill you."
