"CFP first round appearance:  $500,000"

Does he automatically pick up that bonus while skipping that round?  Or he is "punished" for his team being so good that they didn't have to play the first round?

Still not as impressive as Lane Kiffin. 

Freshwater picked up a bunch of bonuses for games he didn't even have to coach.

A few things that seem likely, to me, within ten years:

- Purdue winning a national championship.
In what sport?

Engineering will become a sport when the nerds inevitably take over, so probably that one.

Well, yeah, but you're not supposed to talk about it.

Now they have to kill you.

Something I just realized: there's a decent chance Cignetti can tell recruits he's been a position coach for two future Pro Football Hall of Famers at different positions. That's wild.

My guess is that the end is in <10 years.
Yeah, if the asinine Big Ten gets its way with a 24-team playoff and some 19th seed wins the NC.  

It's like the decision-makers are actively breaking the sport on purpose.  They're chugging all of the minibar bottles they possibly can on an airplane that's going down.  None of it makes any sense.

A few things that seem likely, to me, within ten years:

- Rearrangement of conferences into subdivisions (?)

This made me laugh.  Conference and division names like Whispering Pines or Ashton Estates. 

SEC West?  Nah.  Just use this subdivision name generator:  http://www.kristenandersen.online/subdivision-name-generator/
