The NFL isn't College Football's Friend - it's the Greatest Threat to the CFP Schedule

Recommended Posts

 

Interesting take.

 

We’re not seeing big picture here. We’re slogging through the minutia of the college football postseason instead of dealing with the big, bad shield in the room. 

 

The NFL shield

Time for college football to take a stand against the NFL after pro league scheduling puts College Football Playoff games in difficult ratings spot.

Its interesting because the strategy of the two for decades has been to cohabitate but don't compete. 

 

The reality is that everyone just assumes that the NFL will destroy CFBs ratings. They do draw bigger ratings, sure, but it's not a one-sided fight. CFB will also hurt the NFL's ratings if the two are forced to compete. 

 

They are going to have to interact to find a way to cohabitate at this point. The NFL cannot just dictate the rules.

Everything Hayes wrote in the article is true, (though the format was wonky), those 3 games in December might as well have the college Playoff games on the CW. I don't know if Saban is up to making that call to Goodell, but something needs to happen.
