Watch: Joel Klatt Nails What’s Wrong With College Football

I wrote about this on Wednesday before I saw Joel Klatt’s terrific rant on what’s messed up about college football. The sport has never been better, and yet somehow it has also never been more busted from an equality and infrastructure standpoint. As the five biggest conference continue to operate independent of one another, this is only going to get worse.

Klatt is smart (and right) about these things.

“College football and its structure is broken,” said Joel Klatt. “We are trying to crown a champion in a unified playoff when we have the biggest inequalities in schedule across college football of any other major sport in the world. We have to get to a point where we have more equitable schedules … every conference, particularly in the Power 5 needs to begin to behave and govern themselves in the same manner.”

It really is nuts. We make fun of people who use transitive properties to arrive at conclusions about teams and situations, and yet that is essentially how we decide our final four in college football. And it always will be until you get auto-bids for the Power 5 conferences and throw in three wild cards. It’s not really that difficult.
