College Football is broken. The playoff system is inconsistent and filled with bias. Increased revenue isn’t being shared with the players. Strength of schedule varies wildly between teams. The NCAA provides no leadership and the conferences can’t get on the same page. Revenue gaps between universities necessitate near-exhibition-games that no one wants to watch. Mid-major teams have no opportunity to advance and power 5 bottom-feeders make no effort to improve. How do we fix this?Original Episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-OkFFEPUYuU The Proposal: https://fix.thesloopcast.com/ https://www.TheSloopCast.com  Artist: Defiance OhioSong: Oh!
