Should College Football Replace the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) with a Playoff System? Many football fans including me argue that a playoff system should replace the BCS. They contend that it is the only fair way to determine a national champion and that the BCS method is subjective, profit-motivated, and sometimes leaves the best teams out of the championship game. They should change this because it doesnt make sence to have college football teams go against each other in a national championship while eight other top teams play in four bowl games.they should have playoff games like in the NFl instead of having a lot of Bowl games. This was formed in 1998 I strongly disagree with the playoff system they use in college its just not fair to others because It 's not fair because the sec, acc, big 12, PAC 12, and big 10 automatically have the playoff spots with one champion being left out.

Football is a very popular sport not only in American high schools and colleges, but also in the entire country of the United States. Is playing high school football worth the risk and harm inflicted to high school football players? This is the main question raised by the author, Raymond Schroth, in the article “Abolish High School Football.” In this article, Schroth talked about the disadvantages and harms of playing high school football to the players. Schroth argued that high school football should be abolished because it had contributed more harmful effects than benefits to football players.
The football that we know today started in 1922 when the American Professional Football Association change its name to the National Football League. The team with the best regular season record was the champion. in 1960 a second national football league was started to compete with the NFL. Eventually it ended up the being two conferences to make up the NFL, the American Football Conference and the National Football Conference. The two implemented a system of playoff games and the champions of the two conferences went head to head in a game called the Superbowl.
PROS: The pros of the Louisville scandal were very hard to identify. Being that the scandal was very much the hot topic and caused more bad than good, there are not many pros of this scandal. One pro that I found while reading up on the Louisville Scandal was that it brought the team, school and also the coaches many opportunities of fame and attention. During this time of attention, there was a book published called ‘breaking cardinal rules: Basketball and the Escort Queen.’
Should college football players be putting in 90 hours a week without pay? The average American full-time job is from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. five days a week. So if they get paid for 40- hour weeks shouldn’t a college football player who puts in 90 hours a week get at least a small paycheck. The average division one football player puts in 43.3 hours a week for football. Also, if you have 10 hours of class each week and you study for the recommended 4 hours for each class you have a total of 50 hours for school.
“Ohio State should not be number one because, they have not been playing up to their potential.” “On paper they have the number one offense and defense in the nation.” “Ohio State has also not played a top 25 team yet this season.” “You are right, if they keep playing the way they have played the last five games all bets are off for how they will play against a ranked team.” “Do you think their level of play reflects the opponents they have played to date?”
On Thursday, the professional American football league consisting of 32 teams - National Football League (NFL), will unveil the first act to perform at Super Bowl 50 's halftime show, and some of the world 's biggest artists are being linked to the February slot. The Sun (a British news outlet) reports that the British rock band formed by lead vocalist Chris Martin - Coldplay, is the most likely name to be announced by the NFL this week. That goes against early claims that the National Football League would bring back the American singer, songwriter and record producer with hit songs like The Lazy Song and When I Was Your Man - Bruno Mars, who delivered a memorable performance in the National Football League halftime show two years ago.
The NCAA, is a private, voluntary organization comprised of Universities across the United States. Founded in 1910, it was created “to maintain intercollegiate athletics as an integral part of the educational program and the athlete as an integral part of the student body and, by so doing, retain a clear line of demarcation between intercollegiate athletics and professional sports.” Membership is required to compete in most tournaments and national championships, and is considered an achievement by most schools. Member institutions may be categorized into any of three divisions, depending on a number of factors, such as enrollment size or game attendance. Division I is the most prestigious, with Division II, and Division III receiving less prominence in athletic communities.
American football is a highly profitable sporting spectacle whether its at the collegiate or professional level. I cannot disagree that football does not boost the American economy. I don’t agree that the players participating at their own risk for future benefit don’t get paid while playing such a dangerous sport. Another issue I have with organized football that almond touches on, is the mass wasting of resources in institutions around the country like the universities in the S.E.C. When looking at the massive increase in top football programs salaries around the nation one has to wonder why some of those money cant go to the players, or why it isn’t funneled into educational purposes for the universities? The top the programs alone increased
The fight for payment of college athletes has not been quick one as more and more issues keep popping up. The NCAA has never allowed payment of its athletes, but small steps towards the overall goal has questioned the NCAA’s past. Its’ decisions has stayed constant since its founding in 1906. The first issue in this decision would not occur until 1952 when the NCAA ruled to give The University of Kentucky the ‘death penalty’ for paying their athletes. This ‘death penalty’ is a one year program ban from participation, the harshest penalty the NCAA can give.
Still however “Players aren't supposed to get any compensation tied for performance, and recruits cannot sign any NIL deal contingent on going to any particular school. As usual, some schools and players got ahead of the process and cashed in early, while others didn't and got left behind” (College Football HQ). However “Booster involvement in recruiting has always been against the rules, and the NCAA is stepping up its enforcement of that rule to include any potential NIL violations that may involve boosters using collectives to lure recruits to their schools with the promise of big NIL deals” (College Football HQ). Another way expansion will positively affect CFB is with Super conferences. For as “At the rate things are going, three 20-team conferences will emerge and break away from the NCAA by 2030 while taking a European country's economy worth of money with them” (Sports Illustrated).
College football playoff system The current bowl system in college football has been heavily criticized over the past few years for a variety of reasons. Many contend that the four team bracket is inadequate to properly identify the best team in college football. To allow for a more equitable representation of the best teams in the nation, an expanded playoff system has been a common solution among critics. Such a system would include eight or even sixteen teams.
For many years has football has been considered the utmost dangerous sport in high school, but recently many new studies have been made to prove the exact opposite. High school football gives money to the school and improves the school. In high school sports when a team wins the championship the school gets money that can be used towards hiring new teachers, providing scholarships for students, buying new books, and overall improving the school itself. When a high school football team wins the championship the team's school gets $400,000 that can be spent on the school in many different forms.
The sport I chose to observe was college football. I decided to chose this sport because football is a sport my family enjoys to watch. Also I enjoy watching football more than any other sport because there is so much that could happen, in football many unexpecting plays could happen, and each game is different than the last one. The game I chose to watch was a college football game between the University of Notre Dame and the University of Miami that took place at the University of Miami on Saturday, November 11, 2017. The game started with Miami kicking the ball to Notre Dame.
