Episode 8: The Biggest Sports Spectacle Doesn't Exist

I explain why everyone from schools AND fans should all want what I think would become the mother of all sports events. For fans opposed to it, don't you want more than one meaningful game a year? Don't mistake the regular season for being a playoff. How do we determine after a whole season is over that only TWO teams are worthy of playing for a national title? Mighty Auburn won 7 games last season by only one possession, beating Clemson, Mississippi State and Kentucky of all teams by only 3 points. Don't give me the argument that some teams can't handle the "gauntlet" that teams go through in the 6 major conferences. The SEC is the only league with a gauntlet. The Pac-10 and Big East are a joke, and teams like TCU would be very successful in those conferences. Another reason a playoff would get our attention: Inter-conference play and the intriguing matchups that would result from it. From all the schools' standpoint, I explain how 106 out of 120 athletic departments LOST money in 2009 and the trend continues. Photo from rivals.yahoo.com
