My question is with so many players entering the portal and declaring for the NFL, how long will it be before a bowl eligible team has to cancel its invitation due to lack of players? What do you thank the NCAA should do to prevent this from happening?

The NCAA is much like the government and messes up most everything it touches. So I’d say keep them out of it and just let it play out.

We are to 12, and that is plenty enough expansion! GBO

The ncaa can't prevent some one from sneezing.Inept and on the way out.They did not do anthing,no show-cause, no missed games,no nothing to Seth Miller for when he was at Arizona and all the blatent violations.Just like the coach at LSU with the "strong offer "he made of 200,000 dollars he made bidding for a guy to come play at LSU.Emmert and his collection of eunichs.

Yes, a player that has barely played this year and still isn't fully healed. You're about the 5th person complaining about this and using it as "proof" that playoff games are "meaningless", and not one of you have mentioned the context of him sitting out. But I know facts and context would be too much to ask you to consider and ruins the fun of eveyrone pissing and moaning.

And no, playoffs haven't hurt a damn thing. If anything "hurt" the game, it's over the past 30 years granting a 12th game so that instead of 5-6 a bunch of teams can schedule a cupcake and get to 6-6 and then have a bowl game created so that EVERY 6-6 team makes a bowl. We've had 25+ "meaningless" bowl games forever now. In what reality does anyone give a damn about the Mayo Bowl? The CarQuest Bowl? The Weedwacker Bowl?

LOL, if there are too many bowls, the market will correct on its own. There are only so many bowls because enough people watch (whether on television or in person) to make them profitable. The “too many bowls” claim is the most ridiculous in all of sport.

If you can’t see the four team playoff has lessened the importance of each regular season game, and all bowls, you are choosing to ignore reality.

32 team playoff. nobody really likes the toilet bowl on december 17 at noon

If that were true it would cease to exist. This is the most absurd argument in sports.
