Yep. I agree with that. $$$ is the issue. The other problem is, while yes UGA, Bama, Clemson, etc have easy schedules, they still mop the floor with other teams that have tougher schedules. TCU Cinderella story to CFB embarrassment comes to mind. Nobdoy wants to see those kinds of matchups again. Especially the NCAA.Don't know, but.... today, 5 years ago or 20 years ago, those schedules would suck.
My eye roll is mitigated by the fact I realize financially it's the only way the smaller schools even have a program.
It's almost time for a new league....
