College football is getting to be too much like pro football. Here are some reforms I would like to see:
- Junk the playoffs and go back to the bowls,
- Get rid of the transfer portal.
- Get rid of the two-minute warning, which allows TV broadcasters to insert an additional raft of ads that prolong the game.
- Break up the transcontinental leagues. It's ridiculous for the Atlantic Coast Conference to include teams with stadiums from which you can see the Pacific Ocean.
- Shorten the season--no games before the autumnal equinox or after Epiphany.
- No more weekday games which can disrupt classes and force students to compete with fans to find parking spaces. The main purpose of a univresity is education, not football.

I think that after you re-reading your suggestions you must realize that college football is a joke.
Used to be a fun rivalry “ our institution of higher education has better athletes and scholars than yours”
Now it’s what sports organization can attract phenomenal athletes and have them perform in such a way to generate income for themselves, the coaches, and the schools. Education? Surely you jest.
WGAS anymore? Only reason I would care is if I were a gambler. I would not be surprised if whole underdog teams bet on the opposing team to cover the spread. Good money in losing and WGAS anyway?

Keep the transfer, but require a standardized test demonstrating academic advancement, you and I can develop and monitor that test.

Your rule changes require the invention of a time machine. You would have to go back to the '70s or earlier and stay there.
