When a salary cap comes into the equation, the P4 will still hit the max and some G6 schools will spend enough to create a little more parity. The P4 shills are trying to stop that in its tracks.

There is no salary cap in college football and there will never be one. College football has always been the haves and the have nots. No parity in college sports only in the NFL to a degree.

There is a lot of talk of a salary cap with NIL. The players may also unionize, which will credit a floor for salaries.

Let's put it this way: what schools were playing for the national championship 90 years ago?? Ohio State, Alabama, Texas A&M,.....who is playing for the national championship today? Ohio State, Alabama, Texas A&M...........that's all you need to know. Plenty of people are pissed a Tulane or JMU is even on the same playing field as Oregon or Oklahoma.......it's not hoops with a #16 seed beating a #1 like Virginia lost etc......best guy we had in the NIL era was KLA and we couldn't keep him.

Yes. We agree. Those that are angry will do whatever they can to keep the traditional powers (Oregon is “new” power). My point is that the players and landscape is changing to a point those powers may not have the power. They are scrambling. Interesting that you used 90 years ago….the southern schools didn’t get their grasp until about 70 years ago. 90 years ago, Fordham, Ivies, and military academies were the dominant programs I think.

It’s hilarious every time someone on here tries to figure out any of Zoo’s rambling thoughts. Do you really think he put any thought into saying 70 or 90 years.
