If just 30 broke away, I don't think they would represent college football.

That's too small of a group. That would essentially become a minor league farm program for the NFL. With the vast majority of college teams outside of that group, I think they would represent college football. But that would be very subjective. Don't know how the majority of people would feel. But 30 schools certainly would not represent the majority of college. I would be fine to be excluded from that 30 group. Because I would feel like we were still part of what represented college football. It would not be the elite of college football, but with the majority of schools being represented it would feel more like college football, at least to me. I'm sure some would disagree. The larger that number gets above 30, The less I would feel that way.
