You are learning.  Fundamentally, EVERYTHING bad is Michigan's fault. 

and/or Oklahoma, don't sleep on the Sooners

I’m going to miss the first half of the game because I’m seeing a movie. Interested to see what it looks like when I get out.

Well, of course it's true. But we live in the lie where FBS is all one entity despite the fact that we all know 80% of the population schools have zero chance.

So, just please, pull the fucking plug, break the top 30-40 schools off into their own division, and put the rest of us out of our misery.

We can make it 40-60 schools if we wanted, actually putting them on equal footing.  
But we won't.
Whoever the hell the actual decision-makers are seem hell-bent on making college football as close to NFL as possible, while offering a lesser product.  
Brilliant.

The differences made college football special.  

Now, it's like a girl who is a 9 out of 10 at a part always standing next to the only girl who is hotter than her the whole night.  
Brilliant.

But that's the point. The actual decision makers (the top 20 schools or so) don't want to put 40-60 schools on an equal footing, because that would be elevating 20-40 schools to the same level as those top 20 that make decisions. 

That's what the NFL is. Draft. Salary cap. CBA. Specific rules about free agency, trade compensation, etc. It's a system that's designed to have parity and give everyone a chance. 

What the top 20 schools want is an easy path to beat up on 9-11 uncompetitive schools every year and pad their win totals and only have 1-3 games that they might actually have a chance of losing. 

If anything, that will be the reason that they keep the new top division to have 40-60 schools, but they'll do EVERYTHING in their power to make sure that the bottom half to 2/3s of those schools aren't anywhere near equal footing.

Right, and that would be trying to somewhat keep the status quo, albeit less severely.  I think it's a good idea.

But as long as every school in the conference is getting the same big bucket of money, you can claim it's okay.
The have-nots have their utility, and they can rise up every so often. 

At least it's better than the big, fat lie we've always have and continue to perpetuate with G5 teams.
