November 21, 2016 at 1:58 pmNo such thing as power 5 just money five and the AAC is better than the PAC 12, B12, and just as good as the ACC. Something needs to change ASAP

November 22, 2016 at 11:38 amYou are so right John. The power five and large college programs are all about the money. It has gotten so stupid. It used to be a conference was about local rivalry and close proximity to other schools. The big schools are killing college football in the pursuit of TV revenue. Noticed how many empty football stadiums there are on television? I personally do not have a lot of faith in the future of college football. It was far better twenty years ago.

December 10, 2016 at 6:57 pmBeing ESPN / Money Conference have a monopoly I think the US government should ask why state universities are not spreading the money and opportunity fairly? If you have some time look how US government went after FIFA the world largest sports organization and won. The same needs to happen with Division 1 College football.
