now have playoffs, I think we should go to 24. I also this that if we go to 24, then we add another top conference champion, giving the now G5 two entries. I see it as a way to keep the power conference structure in play, and besides the current media contracts, there would be no reason for any school to leave the ACC, or any other conference. Add in a hard cap, and a hard minimum on player pay, the riff raff would leave, and you would be left with schools willing to invest in their programs and facilities. A hard minimum would knock out a good portion of the MAC, C-USA, and Sun Belt. I also thing that schools and conferences should get paid in the playoffs like the basketball tournament - maybe in units. None of this guaranteed playoff money. The BIG of course would not go for this, but the SEC would.
