I love how taking someone at face value just isn't an option, lol. 
We're skeptical about such claims when we don't like the messenger and/or the message.  We take them at face value when we like the messenger and/or the message.
You too are subject to this phenomenon.

Honestly, I think that change is overdue. 

The main impact of that ends up being that teams with coaching turnover and instability get jammed into a hole. And if the world believed in patience, that would be one thing, but this sport has none and likely can’t be taught it.

Or guy who has experience on both sides of the fence makes interesting admission. 
If he wants to tell me that while coaching Toledo, I’m interested. 

Dave Clawson said it best, pocketbook voting.

Are we still doing this or no? 

Might have one less Conference Champion in the mix if CUSA becomes a non-FB/Olympic Sports Conference.

Yeah, if we are down to just 9 conferences, let the Group of 4 have a play-in for the final 2 spots.

So how about the schools just sell their stadiums and facilities to the highest bidders and we can call it an NFL minor league?

That's what it is anyway, at this point.

Yeah, I'm very confused about their business plan.  It seems to be to turn it into a lesser NFL product?

The things I loved about college football were the things that made it unique from the NFL.   Those things are dwindling every day.

In general, I feel you.
But the argument could be made that at the base of it, the difference college football had from NFL was simply having sacrificial lambs.
