New college football ideas taking shape in response to transfers and NIL

The current landscape of college football has Syracuse Orange fans a bit uneasy about the program’s place in a sport where players are coaches salaries and players NIL deals are skyrocketing. As we talked about yesterday, the issues were ignored for too long but now coaches and administrators seem ready to act.

Ohio State AD Gene Smith has come out to suggest that perhaps schools should look to move football out of the NCAA’s control and under the umbrella of the College Football Playoff. The CFP already controls the money and the criteria for determining a national champion so Smith’s idea certainly has merit.
