I have my thoughts on this that I will write up later, but this is what is going around today. There are some things I like, some things I love and some I can do without

Let’s make the regular season meaningless.

@lncolnpk 24 teams without AQ's makes the regular season meaningless. I would not expand, I would not have expanded, but that ship has left the harbor. So IF I am forced to expanded I want AQs

They made the basketball season meaningless with 64+.  Let’s just play the season as a tournament at this point.

Keep it at 12.  Keep it a big deal to make it.

@tammany It's probably not staying at 12 after this year. Unless the SEC and Big Ten keep fighting

This plan is not from the Big Ten but OSU as league championship games are in Indy.

Lets give everybody a ribbon.

But its all about the Benjamins, the B1g 10 (or SEC) doesnt give a #### about the kids or the sport.

Below is a long but very good discussion imo. 

 

 B1G is offering up the 24 team playoff to fight against the SEC propaganda machine battle everyone knows the B1G doesn't fight and hence always loses.

@red-hornet this plan would eliminate conference title games.

@openwheel I don’t see how this is a give everyone a ribbon thing. There are 136ish FBS teams it’s less than 20% make a playoff

The video I posted framed it as this.  

 

The 24 team model is essentially a 16 team playoff but with the added bonus of 8 play in games to determine who gets in.
