Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

I'm not sure what action they can take. Pay the players to participate? The whole business model for the bowl games is rooted in not paying the players.

pay the conference less for less attractive content
would also be the same for the TV contracts - bidding
when TV ratings slide - revenue slides

nothing you can really do about it

just encourage a team culture of every game is important and each player is a teammate that relies on each other

if the thought of protecting your future earning power comes into view, not much you can do

when are these future NFL kids going to realize this with 2 or 3 games to go in the reg season?

all true. which is why jacksonville taking Etienne 25 made no sense to me. They should've tried to trade up 4 picks and take DE Kwity Paye with the 21st pick. getting a rb on a crap team there made no sense.

they could've had the two most important positions on the team solved- QB and DE. I'd say LT and CB are the next most important. give me QB and DE first.

You're hilarious.

So you've thought of every single other possible solution and deemed them ineffective?

And after expansion the only solution to the 9th or 13th place teams very vocally feeling left out is another playoff expansion.

Anyway, Fresno State wins the New Mexico Bowl 31-24 over UTEP.

Let's just do a 64-team playoff! 

Which 2 schools from P5 conferences get the boot? 

Vandy is one.

THIS,where did the season go? I think Time takes a slumber then drags it's feet from the end of January to the beginning of September.Definitely a time warp ask any CFB Fan

My Brother's birthday is 8-31. I have told him many times he will never grow old because it takes two years to get to his birthday.

Michigan State loses it's RB coach William Peagler to Florida.
