Message: [QUOTE="CTFAN4LIFE, post: 4667288, member: 3328"] Basketball has 300+ schools; football 130. In football all you have to have is about 40 programs thinking they could be Cinderella and you have the March Madness effect given footballs limited number of games played. So, if B1G and SEC go to 20 or so schools and don't kick out their weaklings that would leave a decent number of schools in the rest of the football playing schools to think they could have a chance in a 12 or 16 team CFP. Just enough of a sniff to get/keep fanbases interested enough to keep the tv advertising dollars to keep flowing in across the entire country. Because in the final equation, tv revenue is what is the golden goose and that comes from advertisers that want to reach super regions/national audiences. Without that, the whole concept deflates.
