| ManusJustus said: I agree that the BCS needs a playoff, but even so a team's success is based on coaching, recruting, and skill. Thats not the case for MLB, where the Yankees spend $200 million a year on salary and the Florida Marlins spend $20 million. Even if the Yankees draft the wrong players and do a horrible job coaching, they will still be dominant since they have so much money to throw around. |
It's exactly the same. The NCAA football schools that spend the most on their programs tend to have the best teams. Funny how that works. You don't find any correlation between the biggest football programs having better teams than those small midwestern schools that can barely muster 5,000 fans? You can't buy the best coach without good money, and you can't get the best recruits when there are bigger and better schools willing to give them everything you are (and more) but in a better atmosphere. College football is far more lopsided in the talent pool than the MLB, and that's why you see so many blowout games with 30+ differentials.
I agree the NFL needs to get the salary cap back, but it'll survive a year without falling apart in an uncapped season. Remember the salary cap wasn't implemented until 1994, and before that we still had great competitive football.
