Over the last 75 years when fall camps open, how many D1 teams could honestly say they were playing for a championship? Maybe 5-10 a yr? And how many were the same 5 or ten out of maybe the same 12-15 schools year in year out?
True, but those teams were also spread across 4 & 5 conferences, & the tv $$$ was too.Over the last 75 years when fall camps open, how many D1 teams could honestly say they were playing for a championship?

Besides the money under the table (now over the table), this fact was the biggest recruiting advantage these 12-15 schools had.
All the BiG10 and SEC are doing is perpetuating that same advantage. Just looks a little different.
AQs and byes are just protection for the same schools.
Why would "uncle Phil" cut to $30 mil a year? And why is it not sustainable?If Alabama can't compete others like Michigan and Oregon have billionaire donors that can keep the school in stupid money. I just don't see how Texas or the TAggies are going to lap everyone with money. If Phil Knight gave .1% every year to Oregon it would be around $30 mil. None of this is sustainable and may ruin the product before someone with common sense gets involved.
Because not everyone has an uncle Phil. It’s not sustainable because a few dominant teams will ruin the product. See the NFL and MLB for examples.Why would "uncle Phil" cut to $30 mil a year? And why is it not sustainable?

Uncle Phil cuts the check every year for the same reason papa Boone gave $165 million- they want their team to win.

I get what you are saying, I took wrong, I thought you were saying Uncle Phil couldn't sustain giving $30 mill a year. I do agree that the schools with the money under the current environment are the ones likely to succeed.Because not everyone has an uncle Phil.
