Let's say it's a 16 team playoff.
These are college kids, can they play an extra 3-4 games without burning out? When would these games be played? Are we dragging the season into February? How will fans travel? A school will send maybe 20000 fans to 1 bowl game per year. How can they send this many kids to 4 games since the games will be once a week and all over the country.
And if you were a fan of a team that got in. Which game would you buy tickets for? Remember, you're a poor student living on loans 
My fear is a playoff becomes corporate with mostly suits attending the games. |
Not sure I understand your argument. If the kids in division formerly known as I-AA can play an extra 3-4 games without burning out why wouldn't the division I kids be able to do it?
