Each year, there’s a clamor for it. The logic (unfounded as it may be) is that a playoff system in Division 1 NCAA football would kill off the Bowls and Conference Championships that are a cash cow for the universities and their programs.
As if!
As the founder of BCSbusters.com website for years I have come to the conclusion the only way we will get the college football coaches, Athletic Directors, and Conference Commissioners to install a true playoff system with a national championship game outside the BCS system is when the students demand it. Simply put student fees around the country are significant enough on each campus to classify a student association as one of the largest boosters in the program. According to USA Today, the amounts going to athletics are soaring, and account for as much as 23% of the required annual bill for in-state students.
Once students realize how much they are collectively contributing through fees they will begin demanding a playoff to recover much of the lost revenue. Like the Tea Party once the idea catches on I predict a playoff sooner than later.
