RE: G5 Commissioners Against Expanded Playoff
Me getting sick and tired of the greed and bullishness of the P5 and NCAA's bias would be like me saying I'm getting sick and tired of a brick wall. No matter how much logic is used to argue for fair treatment, there will never be a system that allows for anybody but the schools like Alabama, UNC, Clemson, Michigan, Ohio State, Georgia, Texas, Oregon, etc., to grow and prosper at the level to a level that everybody feels comfortable with. The P5 continues to treat everything like the monopoly that is is, threatening to remove themselves from the equation at every turn, should they not be able to check off every last box for what they want out of a situation.
I've heard the arguments and I've seen the numbers. Every P5 fan always uses the same, "Well, we've been building our program since the dawn of time and we worked hard to get here." Meanwhile, the Alabamas and UNCs of the system continue to get away with every rule violation possible, just because the NCAA is too afraid to step in, do their jobs, and risk a loss of revenue. For Christ's sake, UNC got away with cheating for over a decade, sending their student athletes to fake classes just so they could pass and play, but they didn't even get a slap on the wrist for it. Then, you have App State, who was put on post-season probation for GPAs not being high enough. For UNC, the NCAA said it doesn't meddle in academics, but for App, they had no problem with it.
The NCAA is a hypocritical system if I've ever seen one. They only look out for themselves and those who stuff their wallets. That's why they won't ever punish some of their darling children while they feed the rest of the programs that bring the system energy to the wolves. Look at Alabama. There have been multiple reports that those players were paid to be there and they have been for decades. The NCAA constantly chooses to overlook it, though. They're terrified by the big bullies of the system and what would happen if they upset daddy. If there was a way for the entire organization to be done away with, I'd advocate for it, because they only look out for themselves and those who benefit them the most.
