A few predictions...
1. This is one of many ongoing small steps toward the elimination of the NCAA as we know it and the creation of an elite “superpowers” conference.
2. The playoff will expand to 8 or 16 teams within a relatively short period of time. It will not stop at 4 teams. As Mike Leach said, there will be a bunch of money generated by this extravaganza, and more money is to be made by adding teams.
3. You will see the end of the amateur college athlete, at least in football. They will start to be paid outright.
IDK who "Mike Leach" is but his grasp of the obvious is a stranglehold. This whole issue is driven by money, and mostly dirty money at that. This is the quantum leap of college ball into gambling and institutional corruption. No true sports fan can watch this without feeeling nauseous.
