College football playoff expansion

Ever since 2014 college football has had a 4 team playoff format which was a very non inclusive format and he’s been controversial since it came out. This expansion will allow more teams to be in the playoffs and have higher goals and more realistic expectations for the season. Since this format came out in 2014, a lot of the same teams have been playing in the playoffs as Alabama has made it every year except 2, Ohio State has made the playoffs 5 times and Clemson has made it 6 times. The college football playoff expansion is beneficial to the college season because players will have new NIL opportunities, …show more content…

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). This shows that super conferences are very expensive and have lots of depth in their conferences. “ For this hypothetical, let’s just say that the Big Ten and SEC each have 20 teams total, with four divisions of five teams apiece. Each …show more content…

NIL is a way for collegiate athletes to make money from their talents. However this does not mean that colleges can pay players to play football for them. Super conference’s are conference’s that are getting bigger and bigger with new teams joining these conferences and it’s creating a different format of CFB because these conferences are just stacking great teams onto great teams and this would allow for lots of teams from these conferences to make the playoffs. The regular season has always been such an exhilaratingly enjoyable part of CFB and now teams will try even harder to compete for a chance to be one of the 12 teams that end up in the playoffs. Now that you know how I see the playoff expansion, I’m curious to know what you think of how this will change the way college football is

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.

Despite all of this, I still think the disadvantages outweigh the advantages because some people will take advantage of the system and make college sports appear unfair. Given the challenges created by the Transfer Portal, more restrictions are needed. One possible solution is to limit the number of transfers that a team can accept each year. This would help to reduce the concentration of talent at certain schools and would help to level the playing field for smaller programs. In addition, it would help to ensure that student-athletes are not constantly searching for the next best

With the NIL’s lack of rules and regulations, the boosters and collectives are allowed to practically bid on players like they are storage units not knowing what they might get out of the player they got from outbidding the other boosters and collectives of the other powerhouse programs. Sadly “Everything now comes down to how willing are your boosters and how rich are your boosters. You’re pretty much f----- if you don’t have the booster bank. It is simply the world of college sports that we now live in” (Ross Dellenger). Tho through my research, I have seen that there are many possible solutions for NIL, but the most beneficial for both parties pro and against NIL would be to establish a trust fund for college athletes, funded by a small percentage of the revenues generated by college sports.

Both organisations are afraid that athletes will start going straight to the NFL and will ruin college football forever. Taking the rule away or limiting it, does not mean every athlete will take the road straight to the NFL, for some athletes college helps them get a good education, learn skills the NFL will not provide, and just have the experience of being young. The NFL and NCAA should not have to worry about this in my opinion this will keep college football and professional football much more enjoyable. The NCAA would not lose players because a lot of the good players are really smart and they know they can perform well in the classroom and on the field. In my life I am looking really forward to college because I can start over and begin a new life away from Cortland and many athletes want to do the same.

Quest for number one in college football Bowl Championship Series (BCS) is the most controversial college football system when trying to choose the best teams to play for national championship, because there are always questions about how teams are picked. In 1972 a bowl coalition was formed and attempted to implement some sort of structure to help the top ranked teams in the BCS and Non-BCS play each other, which was unsuccessful. Membership to the BCS can be very profitable; the BCS bowl games can bring in millions in revenue per year, whereas non-BCS bowl games receive about 180,000 per year. Which means the rich keep getting rich and the poor, struggle. Additional each BCS conference champion is guaranteed a bowl game regardless of record,

Similar to Harmon (2020)’s argument that large companies and organizations take advantage of the CFP and take its money, Goodman (2021) asserts that underdogs will help reduce corruption. According to Harmon, a team in a power 5 conference has an increased chance of making it into the playoffs. This is because if a team who is not in a power 5 conference gets selected over the team who is, the major companies and organizations who support the power 5 conferences will scare the CFP committee by threatening to not give them money to fund for the playoffs. These companies support the power 5 conferences because of their fame and the significantly large amount of viewers they get on national television. Goodman provides a plan that is simple, yet difficult to execute.

If larger schools can pay student athletes those sports teams will become overpowered, meaning it would ruin the entire purpose of the NCAA program. John Thelin, Ph.D., and Research Professor of History of Higher Education & Public Policy at the University of Kentucky, advocates for his side of the argument, about why college athletes should not be paid while being interviewed for a ProCons article. The professor expresses, “Paying salaries to players will increase [athletic] program expenditures without necessarily increasing revenues… [and] a handful of powerful programs will stand to gain in competition for athletic talent simply because they can afford to pay salaries. Others will mimic as they try to keep up but eventually will fall short in trying to outbid Auburn University, Florida State, the University of Southern California or the University of Texas in the college player arms race.” If these universities were able to start paying players many of the football and basketball teams would be unfair.
