That leaves ~30 from the Texas region, upper midwest, east coast, and south.

I'm assuming it will be a 16 team playoff. 11 from a 40 team super league. 4 from the remaining P5. 1 G5 bid. Top 4 get a bye. I cant think right now, maybe a bracket doesnt absolutely fit that way. NFL does 14 with 2 byes, maybe you could mirror that.

I'm choosing to mostly ignore your fatuity here and instead overwhelm you with so much data that you'll maybe, just maybe, realize that you have reams to read on this subject before you can contribute meaningfully to any conversation on this topic.

Rick Pitino says college basketball needs salary cap

"Do away with letters of intent, make athletes sign a [two-year] binding contract, no different than professional athletes -- which they are," Pitino tweeted. "With that, the [NIL] collective puts together their NIL contract based on the cap. Obviously, a lot has to go into this. I believe the NCAA should be taken out of the equation and the commissioners put into it as the NCAA loses more cases than the defense lawyers on 'Law & Order.'

I understand that this would never happen and the transfer portal messes things up. But, I like it better than a few rich people in the SEC and Big Ten deciding who gets to be in the super league and just locking everyone else out. Just like the European Super League for soccer is a stupid idea. The rich want it to make themselves richer."Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react." - Charles Swindoll

The EPL has 20 teams and everybody plays all teams home and away, so yes, they have a 38 game schedule. Here's how it would ideally work in my book. Take the top 12 teams east of the Mississippi River and the top 12 teams west of the Mississippi River. There's your Tier 1 East and Tier 1 West conferences. At some point you have to rank all teams. The next 12 eastern teams form the Tier 2 East conference and the next 12 western teams form the Tier 2 West conference and so forth down to Tier 4 or whatever. Everybody plays all teams in your conference once (simply can't do home and away unless you go down to 6-7 teams per conference). Team with the worst record is automatically relegated. Team with the best record is automatically promoted. Now, the EPL doesn't do this, but some leagues like the German Bundesliga have the second to worst team in Tier 1 face off against the second best team in Tier 2. Winner goes to Tier 1 and loser to Tier 2.

Here is how my initial conferences would look. I would be happy with BYU being in the Tier 2 West Conference as long as we have a legitimate way to win promotion into Tier 1.

He's not wrong about the problem. The portal combined with NIL is not serving the long term interests of college football athletes in general. Yes the most talented and those who secure scholarships at the richest schools are doing great, but a full 40% of Division 1 scholarship transfers leave the portal without a scholarship. This will get worse as people continue to get in kids' ears promising them a big payday if they enter the portal. Right now the comparison to a paid league is we have unlimited free agency with no salary cap, no real agents licensing rules, and no real enforceable tampering rules. NIL is not going away but they need to get a handle on it. I don't have the answers but seems like Salary caps, contracts, strict agent registration rules and stiff penalties for tampering outside certain defined periods should all be explored.
