I would definitely make players sit out and lose a year if they want to transfer a second time.

I honestly think just doing that would fix a lot of this bullshit.

 

[Seaofred92]

Contracts for players. No spending cap or roster limit.

20 team playoff. 10 at large and 10 conference champs.

8 league games. 4 home, 4 away.

4 non-conference games. 2 home, 2 away, teams don’t select their own its determined on a rotating basis like NFL

Home playoffs until the national title at the Rose Bowl.

Spring practices end with exhibition games against whoever you want (this happens in HS all the time.. why not college)

7 on 7 “summer league” in July at conference HQ.

Week 0 games against FCS teams (shouldn’t count but want them to still get the $).

CFP is split across ESPN, FOX, NBC, CBS and title game broadcast rotates across networks

Then you’ll get sued again and lose. Now what?

 

[Cash68847]

Go with contracts of some sort then and a salary cap. We can make it NFL Lite

 

[Black Dean]

My thing is I see the B1G & SEC eventually having 24-32 teams each and branching off.

[huskermack]

I’m breaking up the mega conferences.
Making regional conferences.
Playing 1 vs 2 in one of the major bowls.

If you transfer, you sit out the next year.
Eliminating a second transfer unless it’s a graduate player and the original school doesn’t have their major.

1. Expand out SEC and BiG Ten to about 24-28 team each, then start new league

2. Have 2 year contracts. Guaranteed and conditional ones.

3. Get rid of redahiets. You get 5 years if you tear your ACL 3 times, tough shit you only get 5 years.

4. Leagues have divisions with conference title semi final games

5. More connected scheduling. SEC and BIG Ten play 9 game conference schedule and 1 game vs other league in nonconference. Other 2 games can be cupcakes outside league if you want.

6. During conference semi final week rest of teams have a championship week during and play equivalent team in other league. 5th place SEC team plays 5th place Big ten team. Give a little leeway to avoid rematches though.

7. 12 team playoff only SEC and Big Ten

 

[That SOB Van Owen]

Big ten and SEC form their own league NFL style. Scheduling done NFL style within this league only. No playing anyone else. ND can join or play minor league ball.

I have a grand vision that would fix all of the problems. Let me know where to send my application.

Concerning NIL, roster limits, and salary caps:

1. Each University would be required to designate one single collective in charge of bankrolling their recruiting operation. For Nebraska, the would obviously be 1890 at the present moment. This is important for regulatory purposes to keep things simple and make it harder for schools to launder money through multiple collectives.
2. Each university, conference, and the NCAA would need to form a regulatory department responsible for monitoring all transactions between NIL collectives and players. These departments will be called the the “Department of Collective Litigation, Investigation, and Transparency,” or “C.L.I.T. “for short.
3. Each University C.L.I.T. will be responsible for monitoring transactions between all players and the collective to ensure they are following the rules. If rules are broken, they will suggest self-reporting the violation to the Conference C.L.I.T.
4. Each Conference C.L.I.T. will work with each University C.L.I.T. to make sure member schools are in compliance and has the power to hand down punishments. If a member school commits small violation, a small monetary penalty to the following year’s Salary Cap may be in order. For larger and more egregious violations, punishments could be things like “one less home game next year” or a loss of TV revenue.
5. The NCAA C.L.I.T. will oversee everything and work with conferences to hand down appropriate penalties. If the conference C.L.I.T. is not doing its job or turning the other cheek to major violations, then the NCAA C.L.I.T. can do things like take away CFP spots the following year(s) or hold back revenue.
6. Since there are multiple levels of accountability and severe punishments for violations, the teams and conferences would probably try to operate the right way in fear of the C.L.I.T.
7. I would keep the roster limit at 105.
8. I would have a “full-ride scholarship” limit of 85. These athletes may receive full rides from the university independent of NIL.
9. The extra players between the 85 and 105 - schools can do what they want with. Want a front loaded roster of big time recruits and upper class men? Have those last 20 walk on with little to no NIL. Want a more deep or developmental program? Allocate a chunk of your NIL fund to bring those last 20 players in on “NIL Scholarships +” that essentially makes them essentially 20 more full ride scholarships.
10. As mentioned by another poster, players get one free transfer. Any transfer thereafter will require them to sit out a year.
11. There will be a salary cap, independent of the scholarship program, that puts a limit on the total $ that can be spent on the roster.
12. For this exercise, let’s say the salary cap is $10 million per roster-year.
13. Big time schools and collectives are going to have. I problem raising and this spending that money. Some smaller schools with less-established collectives are going to be under. That’s ok.
14. Every single NIL transaction must be a written contract between the collective and the player, and the contract must be cleared by the University C.L.I.T. These contracts must be set by July 1st of the calendar year for the next season.
15. And lastly, this might be the best thing to come of all of this. Collectives CAN technically pay more than the $5 million salary cap, however any money over the salary cap must be donated by individual players to the charity of their choice which the players can then use a a tax write-off for their own NIL income. Think of it like this: “Hey Dylan, we’re paying you $1 million for the upcoming season and have hit our salary cap of $10 million total. We have a a shit load of money left over, so here is $1 million more. You can’t keep it, however you may donate it to the Team Jack Foundation for Pediatric Brain Cancer Research. You’ll make a difference in the lives of children and also decrease your tax liability to $0 on the $1 million you earned.”

Concerning conferences and the CFP:

1. Make ND join a conference.
2. Divide conferences into 3 tiers which can be re-assed every 4 seasons: Tier 1: B1G and SEC. Tier 2: Big 12 and ACC. Tier 3: everyone else.
3. Expand playoff to 14. First-round byes to the two Tier 1 conference champions. That is a major incentive to win the SEC of B1G.
4. Three auto-bids for each Tier 1 conference (6), two auto-bids for each Tier 2 conference (4), and two total auto-bids for all Tier 3 conferences combined (2).
5. That leaves 2 at-large bids.
6. For seeding, the winners of the SEC and B1G (Tier 1) conferences get the top 2 seeds and a first round bye. Everyone else is reseeded at selection.

Honestly thought the old school rules from ~20+ years ago were pretty good.

Just needed a little less insanity on coaches not being able to buy players a sandwich, and players having the right to make money like normal people off their actual name & likeness.

Possibly a more cohesive postseason or playoff (although I personally liked a lot about the bowl insanity).

If the NCAA had gone with a more defensible policy that didn't restrict basic earning, a lot off the lawsuits would have probably failed/never been brought, and we could still be living a golden age.

 

[Ripping Lips]

Contracts for players to minimize them jumping into the portal. If they jump into the portal due to tampering, their new school has to buyout their contract and pay the original school.

Do away with spring practice and have a "mini camp" in the early summer once school is out. This will allow the portal to be open after the playoffs are over with and prevent rosters from being depleted for bowl games. Kids can finish the spring semester at their old school and move after school gets out for the summer.

Limit signing classes to only 20 HS kids per season and do away with redshirts and they have 5 years of eligibility. Doesn't matter if they go on a mission or blow out their knees 3 times. Rosters can maybe be slimmed down some more as well to 100 personnel. No need to have more than 105 and a bunch of walk-ons. It will hurt the 5 star heart kids, but coaches need to get better talent on the roster vice making kids and local coaches feel good.

Limit playing rosters to only 55 players, similar to the NFL.

No more playing of FCS schools and allowed to play only 1 G5 school (week 1 only) and must play a home/away P4 school each season (BIG VS SEC challenge). Each conference must play 9 conference games.

Each conference is allowed a maximum of 12 teams and be more regionally based. (I think it's stupid that the BIG has 16 teams BTW & RUTGERS/Maryland can go back to the ACC).

Force ND to join a power conference or they can go FCS for all that I care. No more beating up on service schools all season.

AS for the playoffs, there are some good ideas ahead, but feel that the early portal is killing the bowls and maybe cut back on spring training/conditioning and let the kids be kids for a bit then start work in the summer.

[Kaladin]

12 regional conferences with 10 teams, no divisions

spring ball ends with a game against a regional fcs team

after spring ball, there's a lottery where teams pick their 4 non-conference opponents. someone wrote an article proposing this a few years back

you play one preseason game against a regional FCS team

16 team playoff
