In the garden of life college football is the flower and Greg Sankey is roundup.
"But Congress will step in before this whole thing blows up!" - Cyclone Fanatic since realignment started 15 years ago
I've been reliably assured on this very board that the House Settlement is going to be perfect and solve all the problems.
Sankey and Petitti are going to run to the networks to get all CFB rights together for 70 teams.

You are quite the drama queen with a comprehension issue as well.
Quite frankly the political system has no business in college athletics and needs to stay the **** out of it
The problem is, entities get a chance to self regulate. If they fail, the government often steps in. The NCAA failed to self regulate years ago and now the train is off the tracks.
I understand that, but congress has real issues to deal with. Quite frankly as much as I love college sports it's not important enough for Congress to get involved in.
CFP 5+11 model draws interest from SEC coaches
In a pivot from the push for automatic qualifiers in the next iteration of the College Football Playoff, the SEC on Tuesday took a heightened interest in a 16-team model that would include the five highest-ranked conference champions and 11 at-large bids.

Probably just to get some good press
I’ll disagree with that. They spend time on many things less important than that. Something needs to be done.

You guys do realize the SEC would love this scenario. They'd have gotten 6 teams in last year and the big 12 would have had 1 team in.
Yes. But they still wouldn’t have been able to setup their 3 game play-in tournament during CCG, which will devalue the Big12 and ACC CCG.
The Big12 had a bad year last year, there is no debating that. So making decisions on a 1 year sample is dangerous. In the long run, we need BYU to become the banner school of the conference. They have the fan base and history to be one of those blue blood schools that can be in the national conversation every year. Then, we need another team to step up each season to compete for spots in the CFP. That is the model that will make the Big12 successful. Giving in to the P2 plan will just make that model harder to achieve.
In terms of who wins and loses games, college sports isn't important at all.
In terms of the economic impacts to cities and states, it's wildly important and very much fits the definition of interstate commerce.
The economic damage that could be inflicted on large chunks of the country by the actions of the SEC and or Big 10 is very much something that would be within Congress's purview and interest to address. If there was anything else with this kind of economic impact attached to it that had more inherent value in the product, there would be no questioning whether or not Congress should intervene.
I welcome their intervention, especially in a space like this where isn't a red vs blue schism and they could have an actual tangible impact.
This would not be good for Iowa State or the Big XII. Having 2 guaranteed spots is much better than 1 and a maybe not.CFP 5+11 model draws interest from SEC coaches

Wouldn't the 2 guaranteed spots allow the Big 12 and ACC to make similar (albeit fewer) play in game models?
This is a classic "we'll come up with a sh*ttier idea than our original ****** idea so that you end up accepting our ****** idea we proposed in the first place" scenario.
