Absolute madness. Why do they have to meet at all? Is what makes college football great a national championship, or is it everything else. I'm of the opinion it's everything else. Quote
pdt1420 Posted October 18 Report Posted October 18 Oh that’s a completely sarcastic post. I’m firmly in the limited conference and 8 team playoff camp. Quote
GP1 Posted Sunday at 10:53 PM Author Report Posted Sunday at 10:53 PM EJ Manuel summed up the ESPN view of the college football playoff expansion this morning. He basically said that once you boil down college football to the core, it's about late season meaningful games and winning a national championship. A true company man. I almost threw up listening to him. Quote

There's just no choice but to get rid of these sorts of games. 1 1 2 Quote

There's just no choice but to get rid of these sorts of games. The Robert Morris game this year literally paid for itself with the OC for a series promotion. Getting rid of the FCS game would mean getting rid of those type of promotions as well. Edit: Also, it's probably not exactly cheap to fly ~100 people to California and put them up in a hotel for 2 nights. There is an expense associated with playing those games. Less than the ~$300K we paid Robert Morris, but still likely a 6 figure expense. Edited Thursday at 06:52 PM by kreed5120 1 Quote
Blue & Gold Posted 18 hours ago Report Posted 18 hours ago The world is changing fast. Look at the quality of this Wadsworth vs. Nordonia game from last night. It's basically ESPN+ quality. Quote
