The cartel has destroyed college athleticsThis is such an awful idea.
This is why we should just embrace independence and stop focusing on trying to get into a football league. What's the point? All the power is concentrated in 2 leagues, which we have no chance at getting invited into. The other leagues will get a token but the reality is nobody but the upper echelon of the Big 10, SEC, Big12 and ACC will have a realistic shot at a football championship. The whole thing stinks.

No conference title to play for. No path to a national title. Serious question: why keep the sport?"The remaining three bids would go the highest-ranked teams still available, regardless of whether they’re in a conference and/or independent Notre Dame."
UConn has fallen off the face of the earth.

Presidents don't know about any of this. I've talked to 2 of them about their D1 sports programs as I sat at a game watching from their booth. They really are lead by their ADs as to what is going on. #1 job is keeping the trustees and donors alumni happy-- also politicians. Otherwise, they treat this stuff as a sacred cow. They very well know that Presidents have been fired when the ADs have used leverage (BOT and politicians) whenever a President tried to rein any of this in.The college presidents, who are not businessmen, have absolutely destroyed college athletics.
The football and playoff/invitational is going to be awful.
The obsession wit having. A college football tournament is dumb. The games aren’t gonna be competitive.
Who can ever forget Gordon Gee at OSU saying publicly he hoped Jim Tressel didn't fire him?Presidents don't know about any of this.

Presidents make the decisions. The board makes the decisions. The ADs have a lot of lee way as senior managers, but this is a CEO level decision in many cases.Presidents don't know about any of this.

Supposedly, the Big 10 Presidents wanted to add Stanford and Cal, but Fox said no.Presidents make the decisions. The board makes the decisions. The ADs have a lot of lee way as senior managers, but this is a CEO level decision in many cases.
And, they are ill informed
the only reason I can see for so many autobids is they still plan on relying on a human committee rather than a mathematical formula.
