Conference championships are becoming somewhat obsolete, almost like bowls. The money is the main driver. Expansion to 16 might be enough to make up for champ games elimination but I think 24 definitely would.

Less bowl games and more on campus playoff games too.
Yes, I would eliminate conference championships as well. They are a net negative most of the time.

He's always good with that stuff but I posted the numbers. I referred to the thread I posted them in a couple posts above.
Here is the exact post

Schiano is the greatest coach Rutgers has ever had or ever will have. He got us into the Big 10 and then came back and kept us from getting kicked out of the Big10. He's the absolute best we will get with the money we have. Rutgers is in a unique position. We have little alumni support and absolutely no support from the citizens of the state. In addition, our state's flagship newspaper (now NJ.com) is trying to tear us down every chance they get, yet he still gets better recruits than any other coach in Rutgers history. We are now the best team in the Northeast outside of Ped State. We're better than BC and Syracuse. We've beaten old Big East rivals VT and Miami as well. We went to a bowl the last two years and won one of them. When I was in school, a bowl game was a pipe dream. Get behind him and give him all of our support. That's how we get better. Giving to the NIL on a monthly basis would help too. College doesn't work like the pros. f you don't understand college football, then stick with the Giants.

Guys, keep the CE Board bullshít off this board. Very Ironic since all of those involved don't have premium subscriptions so can't even post on the CE Board.

I agree with some of this, and it is a reasonable take.

@MADHAT1 surprised me a bit with his post, but if I read his post correctly, we share a similar view. I vacillate between ranting over results and record of 2.0 and realizing that there is a risk in making a change, particularly at this juncture with such a large buyout. We have seen Maryland and Wisconsin take similar approaches, with both programs being in equally or worse situations than Rutgers in football. Wisconsin's is particularly perplexing, but cry me a Wisconsin river-it's good to see them fail and flail.

The approach around raising NIL will only pay dividends in the long run, if not in the short run. If Greg can't get it done with more NIL money (in addition to the revenue sharing portion of the $20.5M), then we will know that we gave him every opportunity to give it his best shot. If he succeeds, then Keli Zinn looks like a genius. If it he does not succeed, then we have an NIL infrastructure in place, which is sorely needed going forward, even though we have revenue sharing.

That think that Michigan State's decision on Jonathan Smith was too hasty. It took him a few years to build downtrodden Oregon State to a ten win season. Don't know what their expectations are-but as Wisconsin has learned since firing Paul Chryst-haste can make waste.
When u hire a coach that is their chance, no excuses. You get paid 6 mil, we don't ask for a refund, so get it done. He didn't say during the interview I need 10 years to be an average team. Because of his insane contract we are handicapped, we can't go out and hire one of these available coaches. In 2 year I will be calling it the curse of GS.
