Maybe that’s the rationale for Wazzu using special teams instead of a coin flip at the start of their spring game?

Why would you go to 12 instead of 16? Oh, so the SEC teams can get a bye the first weekend, of course.
Eh, more SEC teams will make a 12 team playoff, but I don't see it meaning more SEC teams getting one of the four byes. Bama, Clemson, tOSU and then OU/ND/UGA probably.Why would you go to 12 instead of 16? Oh, so the SEC teams can get a bye the first weekend, of course.
Whatever. The limitation on playoff teams has always been number of games played in a season. Both 16-team and 12-team playoffs require some teams to play 4 games. The 12-team format provides a competitive benefit of a bye to 4 teams for no good reason. And actually an unwarranted benefit since it will be based on a committee’s decision, not on head-to-head competition like the PAC 12 basketball tournament. It’s this competitive advantage that explains certain teams’ support of a 12 rather than a 16-team playoff.

We are going to need to re-brand FBS and FCS football perhaps back to I-A and I-AA if the FBS playoffs are going to grow.
And I'm here to remind you that the FCS playoffs is currently at 24 teams. Even if it was 16 this season, the MVFC managed to get five teams into that playoff. It's almost a sure bet that the SEC could match those numbers in a 12 to 16 team FBS playoff.

I think 16 is the ultimate goal, but they can’t just go from 4 to 16 in one step. I think 16 is actually a very appropriate number. There will be grumbling from the #17 team, but how likely is it, especially in today’s college football landscape, that the #17 team would beat the #1 team? Maybe once in 20 tries?
I don't like any system that leaves two SEC teams out of the playoffs.
Hate playoffs.
I know it's just a one year sample of the NFL draft, but California is becoming less and less of a breeding ground for elite talent, relative to the other hot spots.
This feels kind of like a big deal...
I guess redistribution of income is now OK?
I don't even know where to start. It's like getting broadsided by a tidal wave of irony.
I'm seeing differing reactions to this. Some see the first part of the tweet and think this is a great thing for recruiting to Georgia universities, while others see the second part and say "good luck recruiting to Georgia universities".
I can see why it could be a good policy to spread some cash around (obviously, given my political inclinations). but 75% of ALL income? wow!
WTF. Other Schools will negative recruit the hell out of that. I can imagine University of Georgia will put up a massive fight on this.
At first I thought was the CNN Covid map.
How so? It's individual income, not institution spending.
But it’s not really individual income, though. At least the way I’m seeing it. If they accept the scholarship, they accept the rules. If they don’t want to be fettered by the parameters around which they can earn that money, there is nothing stopping them from leaving school and truly “earning” that individual income.
If a student-athlete gets to make money of off their Instagram, they shouldn't have to share it with other student-athletes.
Is the money paid to the school or the student?
Feels to me like it’s paid to the school, but maybe I’m not understanding that right.
It absolutely is not being paid to the School. NIL is the ability for an athlete to get paid directly.
Hard to fight something when it is now law.
If it gets passed, the Georgia schools will pick a hopefully fair percentage or even 0% and heavily advertise that they aren't doing the full 75%. Will still be negatively recruited but that's the best they can do since the bill says "up to 75" not "at minimum 75"
