Chip Kelly proposal to save college football

Late Kut, 247Sports on Chip Kelly soundoff:

Ok, so four 16 team conferences. The 4 champions play in a 4 team playoff. Let’s just do that.

8 8 team conferences with an 8 team tournament of champions

8 8 team conferences with an 8 team tournament of champions

That’s kind of how you’d do it. 4 conferences of 2 divisions each (8 divisions).

Each division plays in a conference championship game (effectively playoff round 1). Then matched conferences play (SEC vs ACC, B1G vs XII, which could rotate by year) to determine the National Championship game.

The downside is that there’s no reason to play G5 teams or FCS teams and non conference games effectively become exhibition games. That should encourage more big games to drive ticket sales without fear of a loss, though.

How long before the players ask “why do I have to go to school”? Probably already have.

Pretty sure UNC answered this question about a year ago.

SEC and BIG 10 have all the power. What is the incentive for them to enter into a balanced format with revenue sharing?
