Awful Announcing • • sports
Key Points:
- Urban Meyer, a three-time college football national champion, admitted he misjudged the impact of NIL and the transfer portal, initially believing they would benefit only the richest programs, but they have instead increased parity in college football.
- Despite increased parity, traditional powerhouse conferences like the Big Ten, SEC, Big 12, and ACC still dominate, though some second-tier programs like Texas Tech, SMU, and UCLA have gained more opportunities to rise quickly.
- The College Football Playoff is expanding from four to 24 teams next season, a change Meyer initially opposed but now acknowledges reflects the growing parity in the sport.
- Meyer expressed concern about the potential devaluation of conference championship games amid playoff expansion, emphasizing their importance based on his personal experience as a player and coach.
