Not just middling teams

The existing system lets lots of teams have "successful" seasons.

Are Wisconsin, Penn State and Iowa going to fill their stadiums for a bunch of .500 seasons or worse? I don't think so.

I really have no idea how things turn out, but I am not particularly optimistic or excited about it as a fan, but it's been on its way for a while. JT had a good example elsewhere in the thread - Colorado losing their coach to Michigan State. I wasn't aware of that one, but where does that landscape leave Colorado? - Nowhere with no chance.

I wonder if the powers-that-be recognize the W-L issues and will do something to maintain inflated winning percentages and the number of "successful" seasons. I'm not sure it will work if it looks too lopsided/fraudulent.
