[QUOTE="IM79, post: 805740, member: 2216"] Here's the thing about the playoff money bonanza. The old line players ( SEC and Big10 and the other conferences, Rose Bowl, Notre Dame, Downtown Athletic Club Heisman, UGA and Oklahoma - sued the NCAA for tv rights,ESPN, SugarBowl, Orange Bowl, etc) feel like they created this money machine. And by God they are going to share as little as possible with the new comers: Boise St, AAC, WAC, Sunbelt, etc. They don't care what we as fans want to see. They (the old line actors) look at what they have created and they are the ones who are going to profit from it. The old guard looks at what has happened to the NCAA BB tournament and says no way. If they went with guaranteed conference bids to all conferences like the NCAA, any crappy old teams with no tradition, money or fans can form a conference and start sucking off playoff teat. It is all about the TV money and keeping as much in the power brokers' back pockets as possible. Let the peasants eat cake - give them as little as possible. They will set it up so most normal years the G5 conferences only get 1 team in. [/QUOTE]
