The college presidents and boards of trustees run the Universities not the Athletic Departments. Maybe not in Texas but just about everywhere else. They will not and are not going to extend the season longer than what it already is. They use to play only 8 or 9 games a year and now most teams play 12. They want the season over by Thanksgiving and they are NOT trilled the season extends into Dec. They are not going to go with a playoff system. A good friend of mine is an assistant athletic director at a Division 1A school and he tells me the college presidents almost to a man (or woman) are against extending the season longer than it already is.

[...are against extending the season longer than it already is.]

Once again, this is a straw-man to the big issue. Texas and Alabama will not play a single game from now until Jan. 7th!
That happens to be FIVE weeks from now and it would only take FOUR weeks for all fourteen Div. I Conference Champions and four at-large teams to play a play off system! So no “extension” is needed, so please stop throwing it out there, it is BS!

Now, I agree with you about the Athletic Directors controlling a good portion of the universities here in Texas - heck Mack Brown makes close to 8X salary of the President of the University of Texas, but that is a different story and subject matter - ha/ha.

I also agree, to some extent, that the current Bowl system would be hurt, but not nearly as bad as the University Presidents and Bowl Boards make it sound.
