I think that CFB needs to be brought back under the full umbrella of the NCAA and a pragmatic and effective CFB czar appointed.
At the D1 level, create a major conference playoff system, and a G5 playoff system. Reduce the season by one game, sit down with media entities to crate a series of glorious college football playoff weekends, that have Major and G5 playoffs spanning a Thursday-Friday-Saturday-Sunday opening round. Work with the NFL on Sunday, more room to work with them if they go to 18 regular season games with 2 byes.
Ultimately crown 2 champions, the major conference national champion and the G5 (or whatever it's called national champion). Schools like NDSU, SoDakSt, JMU and a handful more up to the G5 tier. Work to provide the G5 with lucrative TV deals, and sell the entire playoff package to garner a mega TV deal for that part of the season.
National Championship culminates on a Saturday with back to back games for each tier.
CFB Czar gets schools at the G5 level to embrace a tier level national championship as something to be massively proud of . . .
Never gonna happen.
