The SloopCast - THE Ohio State Buckeyes Podcast

Fox, CBS, and NBC all hold rights to Bigten games. They hold a draft to see who gets what games. We will be replicating the draft. Is this a one to one replication of the real life draft? It is not. We have made modifications for fun. Here are the rules: We will each pick 16 games Each network must pick a game for all 14 weeks. 2 bonus games that can be picked from any week You DO NOT need to fill out all 14 weeks before selecting your 2 bonus games.

College Football is broken. The playoff system is inconsistent and filled with bias. Increased revenue isn’t being shared with the players. Strength of schedule varies wildly between teams. The NCAA provides no leadership and the conferences can’t get on the same page. Revenue gaps between universities necessitate near-exhibition-games that no one wants to watch. Mid-major teams have no opportunity to advance and power 5 bottom-feeders make no effort to improve. How do we fix this?
