Can you imagine what ND would charge for a home playoff game *

There’s a lot of economic “opportunities” to sort out

Who gets the money from the home game? The school? The conference? The NCAA? All 3? How do you keep the Rose Bowl happy?

Depending on the split there’s a small to very large incentive for the committee to favor some teams over others. Also depending on the split there’s an incentive to gouge your fans (like ND would) or if you can’t, avoid a home game (like ND would)

If you’re going to sell the conferences on throwing away their championship games...they’ll want a big slice of the new round’s revenue. If the NCAA is controlling it you know they’ll get their share. And once again the consolidation of power likely means independent ND is in a worse position as they were previously.

NCAA has nothing to do with the football postseason *

They will if you want it sanctioned.

Just like every other post-season tournament in every other sport.

in December, at night -- just think of it *

Would Garth be there? *
