Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 4729869, member: 5798"] [B]Then the answer to this dilemma is simple.[/B] Separate football from all other programs in college sports. Create a stand-alone national college football program. Create 4 national FBS and FCS regions as they do for the NCAA BB tournaments, then divide those regions into 2 to 4 divisions. From there, you figure out your bowl games and playoff brackets. Let the Presidents, Athletic Director, coaches, and network executives have a round table discussion on how to figure out the leagues, rankings, logistics, schedules, and payouts. You've got college presidents and administrators with pHDs. They should be smart enough to figure that out. All of the "other" athletic programs (Basketball, Baseball, Soccer, etc.) can work out their own conference affiliations, schedules, payouts, and post-season tournaments. [B]One would have nothing to do with the other. No man can serve TWO MASTERS.[/B] In today's world, [B]football is the master[/B] and is being served like royalty. This concept should work to most college presidents' and TV executive's satisfaction, IMO. There will [U]always[/U] be some malcontents and those smaller schools who feel "left out" and would be forced to fight and rummage over the table scrapes (leftovers). :confused: [B]A similar concept would also work in the NFL.[/B] Exclude the starting QB's salary from a team's salary cap. Each team would be allowed to pay their QB whatever they wish, and it would not count or be part of the team's salary cap allowing teams to hold on to players they now are forced to cut because of salary cap limitations.
