Really though, only grad students should care. No one in the real world, when looking to hire someone with a 4 year degree, is going to give a rat's whatever on if they took classes from a Nobel prize winning prof or an adjunct professor with just a few years experience.

C'mon, you can afford a lambo but can't subscribe to 24/7 for us? ;)

Yeah, but I was responding to this comment of yours: I said if they buy they roster and end up with a top seed, it's no longer an upset. Now you're talking about something different, which is mid majors buying their way along. It's been a nice chat, but I don't see the point in continuing...

Would it really be an upset then? People watching March Madness would tune in to see the UW Green Bay team upset some #3 or #4 seed, but if they (UW GB) had a booster buy them a bunch of talent they'd enter as a top seed and their victories wouldn't be the "little guy" upsets you initially...

This feels like we're just rehashing. I made the suggestion to separate, etc. and we just looped back to the beginning.

It's going to take a lot more than an FCS QB and a new OC to make THAT big of a leap. Correct the flaw? Sure. Strength? Nope.

No, but I can see why you'd think that. I was talking from a broadcast perspective. They will care about the ratings. I'm passionate because I don't wanna see the top teams waste their time beating down weaklings while risking injury and watering down the whole process. If paying the players...

Agree, give them their own playoffs like was done for FCS. Is any sober person saying that? "Entertainment" is the point of it all, isn't it? The networks didn't shell out all this money because deep down they are college football purists. Pro sports can do a playoff like you suggest where...

After the Georgia/TCU bloodbath from not too long ago, I doubt TV is going to want to televise Georgia vs. Incarnate Word anytime soon. And why would anyone wanna watch it if they did? Levels lots of people don't care about. Easier to deal with blowouts if the only fans are the people in the...

Would you settle for excluding them from the CFP but allowing P4 teams to schedule a game against them, kind of like how it was with FCS teams during the BCS era? You could play one per year and they got the nice payday from it, but everyone knew they weren't competing for the same post season...

I think this is what you were alluding to that I asked about earlier. Yeah, it can get interesting. When you already made millions it might be tougher to humble yourself. And some of these multiple transfers...that means for most of college you always had someone telling you they were...

Yes you did. Wrong. Quotes from coach, a player, and the GM.

I think I get where you're coming from, but I don't necessarily agree with the conclusion. It's not that Alabama will be more entertaining than a G5 team, it's more so that people like me perceive it as inviting minor league teams to the MLB playoffs. Only the big dogs should get to compete...

While true that they will eventually get curb-stomped, in the meantime they are taking the bye away from a team that is truly top 4 but had to step aside for Boise State.

Yeah, as much of an SEC fan as I have been, eventually the conference will settle and we'll figure out who their versions of Purdue and Nebraska are, and then recruiting will fall off in those schools for a better shot at the playoff at a school in a different conference.
