[QUOTE="Augusta_Jacket, post: 772702, member: 1191"] To a degree I do. When the product becomes bad enough, people will revolt. This won't happen next year, but it will eventually happen. I don't even think it will happen 'soon,' but eventually people are going to demand more. The current arms race in college football is financially untenable. We are already seeing that only a handful of schools have any legitimate shot at the playoffs. Right now every conference is built around 2-4 power teams and their opponents. So ask yourself, if you're a fan of one of the 50 schools in P5 with no realistic chance of ever playing for a title, how long do remain satisfied with the situation? This reality hasn't dawned on most college football fans yet, but when it does, I think there's going to be a minor revolt. We are already seeing that game attendance is down (prior to COVID) across the P5 schools, barring the few juggernauts. With the advent of the playoffs, bowl games mean even less and their TV ratings have declined. Now next year will probably be a boom year if attendance is allowed again. For the next few years, programs will probably see increased attendance because this year people realized what they missed, but down the road, there's going to be a reckoning and they will either drastically increase the playoffs (8-12 teams) to be more inclusive or people will start to walk away from the sport. I think the powers that be already foresee this and I am willing to bet that within a decade you will see an increased playoff field. [/QUOTE]
