Playoff$ Ahoy!

The news that NCAA "Football Bowl Subdivision," or what used to be called Division I, will switch to a four-team playoff system starting in 2014 is good news for anyone who makes money off of college football. In other words, everyone but the athletes.

Brian Goff points out here that this move has some deep roots, and as you read some of the deciding points in the saga, you will note how many of them connect directly with money, usually paid to a college athletic department by a television network.

I personally am ecstatic at how many teachers can be hired and how much classroom equipment universities will now be able to buy because we will have a "real" national champion in college football.
