Two playoff games is chump change compared to these 100K seat stadiums all getting to host another home game.

Not only that, the money from a playoff game goes to the conference for distribution while money from a home game goes to the school.

So the random 12th game that was added a few years ago was necessary and would make more money than a Plus-One game or the two potential games from a Plus-Four?

Uh…yes. You realize how much extra cake adding that game brought towards teams’ operating budgets. They aren’t giving that cash up now.

In any event, PP, I see that you are advocating for a Plus One or Plus Four. I have no problem with that scenario, and nothing any of us have been saying about the logistics issues applies to that; we are aiming at the hare-brained idea of a 16-team playoff.

As for cutting games from the reular season schedule…never never never never gonna happen. You think schools are going to give up that payday? Zero percent chance. If anything, I wouldn’t be surprised to see a 13th game added in the near future.

Cut the season to 10 or 11 games and that whole “making fans travel too much” goes right out of the window as well.

What???? I don’t what cutting any regular season games would have to do with being able to afford multiple postseason trips.

When 90,000 people show up to a 1AA spring game, I’ll accept this as an apples to apples comparison.

A plus-four (or one) could use any major sports facility in the country. Cut the season to 10 or 11 games and that whole “making fans travel too much” goes right out of the window as well.

There are fourteen people within one hundred and fifty miles of Columbia Missouri from December 10th to January 15th.

but it’s not like comparing life on Venus to life on Earth

Oh, but you are wrong. In the difference between a 1-A 16 team playoff and a 16 team 1-AA playoff…that is actually the perfect analogy.

Who works the fucking Rose Bowl? You know that’s where UCLA plays all their home games, right? Somehow, at least once a year, they are able to find temp staff for the Granddaddy of them all

Thats because they were aware of the exact date and time months in advance, as opposed to 6 days notice. And its located in a large metropolitan area that probably has a company that does nothing but staff events, as opposed to small college towns where the employees are students.

Who’s gonna work the games?

That’s a non-issue, not sure why Clown goes there. But it in no way strenghtens your argument, Stark.

I comprehend the difference in logistics but it’s not like comparing life on Venus to life on Earth. There is some scalability here. And if this is a reason to completely table the conversation, that’s pretty stupid

and make money like a bowl game? nope.

There’s this…and then there’s also the fact that fans generally don’t have the cake to make 3 or 4 trips in the month of December, which is what you’d be looking at for the teams that reach the title game. Which is what you refuse to admit or comprehend. THAT is why the logistics are not at all similar.

What tiny little schools are going to make it into this thing with homefield advantage? You couldn’t make massive dollars at a Big Ten, Big XII, SEC, or Pac 10 stadium? Are you kidding?

So there’s no way to play a IA playoff game on a college campus. Got it.

Who’s gonna work the games? All the students who are either busy with finals or are kicked out of their dorms during winter break?
