So all of the college big wigs got together and quickly quashed any hope of instituting a playoff system to Division I college football. They all have their excuses but everyone knows it's all about money. So here's the funny part, Ohio State University president Gordon Gee said that the proposal could lead to the "professionalization of college football." When you're done rolling on the floor laughing out loud, let me know. I'll wait.
I've been meaning to write about this topic but in today's Columbus Dispatch, columnist Bob Hunter nailed the subject much better than I could. Please read it, it's worth your time. My favorite part of the article is quoted below:
"It's hard to believe that adding one game to the postseason schedule would cause the ruination of a pristine college sport, but if Gee and some of his smarter-than-us presidential cohorts believe plus-one will lead to college football Armageddon, it must be true.
So I've developed a plan I'm sure that we can all agree on: eight-game schedules. One o'clock games on Saturday afternoons. Free admission. No more TV. No luxury suites. No athletic scholarships. No recruiting. No title games, BCS or otherwise. No bowl games. No merchandise sales. Full-time students. Part-time coaches."
I love it!
