Short term but I would never watch any of their games. 100% NFL after that

If they agree to move to 16 team play off let them have 4 spots each

I wonder what % of viewers of their games are outside B10/SEC?

This is true, but there's a silver lining for the rest of the country.

If this happens, out of principle, I will never watch a single P2 game.

Relegation in CFB would be so awesome. And solve a ton of the current issues with level-of-play issues.
