College football is chaos, greed and dysfunction – and still king
The sport’s biggest programs keep chasing TV and playoff money as coaches, recruits and administrators navigate unstable rules and rising pressure.
- College football faces persistent instability as universities struggle with spending. Texas A&M athletic director Trev Alberts stated, "College football doesn't have a revenue problem," it has a budget problem.
- Reckless budgeting at 300-plus NCAA universities has replaced the stability of the past 150 years, when schools held financial control while players received scholarships.
- Universities currently provide stipends for "miscellaneous personal and living expenses," a cash handout of about $5,000 a semester, further complicating athletic department finances.
- Frustrated leaders asked the 535 elected men and women of Congress to intervene, but the effort yielded no lasting solutions to governance challenges.
- Officials attempted to implement a "playoff," yet they quickly realized the selection committee-based format does not constitute a true playoff, leaving the sport's structure in doubt.
