The gist of the future is always, and has been, maximizing dollars. That is the prime motivation.
The other gist is to "NFLize" CFB, making it all "fair" and even and cleanly organized. Neither will change of course, but as a fan, I frankly wouldn't mind having major indepdents and conferences with varying number of teams and rules and bowl games with uncertain poll outcomes.
But, it won't happen.
