2026 College Football Chatter

I think for the most part, the blueblood programs would still be the best teams year in and year out. They'd still have the most money to spend on the facilities and everything else. Basically, their alums and fan bases would demand it more than the average school, same as always.
 
I mean you're really talking about 6 teams out of what, 138? You might see a lower fan base for Ohio State or Alabama of fans that don't ever go to a game, didn't go to school there and aren't from the area. But ultimately most of the fans will stick in my opinion. Plus those school would still have the advantage of picking the top coaches, having the top facilities and the best scouts. So they would still likely rise to the top.

Now the logistics of a salary cap will probably never make it possible. School 138 would never have the money to pay what school #1 would without massive revenue sharing that these teams would never do. And you'd have to get the SEC, Big 10, Big 12, ACC and everyone on the same page. Which would also be problematic because you can't have a salary cap in the SEC/Big 10 but then compete against a school in the Big 12 who has no salary cap. So realistically I don't think a cap is going to happen.

I do think changes need to be made. This letting guys play for 6+ years, jump schools every year, back out of deals for money is hurting the sport. Fans want to know their players, they want to root for the guy they were excited to sign on recruiting day. And the fact that a kid can jump around every year for a big payday is ruining it.

Part of my point is that I think making college more like the NFL like Whittingham said would be to exclude all but about 30 teams from the super conference, which would most likely alienate basically everybody else.

Yeah and that I think would be a real shame. But I really don't think you'll ever see one Super Conference (Probably the SEC and Big Ten combined) that then excludes 108 other programs from competing for a college football championship with them. Now you may see a Super conference but I think the other teams will still be there to compete in some capacity for a National Championship.
 
I just wanted to share news that I'm sure will excite you all!

I got tickets to two Longhorns games this season: the first vs UTSA and the second should be a fantastic game vs Ole Miss.

You can now resume your work day, thank you. :art
