I didn't get to listen to much other than his keynote at Media days, I know he hit several other platforms. So without hearing all of his comments, here is what I'm missing?

1. Is he advocating to add 3/4 more games to the playoffs? I heard him say 30 teams (4 SEC, 4 Big 10, 3 ACC, 3 Big 12, 1 G5, 5 At large). Maybe his point is that if players are going to make that money then they may have to endure a 17 game season?

2. Have you really eliminated humans? You still have 5 at large teams? (maybe I missed something in his explanation)

3. Conf Allocation - Obviously the SEC will not agree to only get 4 if the Big 12 and ACC are getting 3 (I can't think of one Big 12 team right now that would finish in the top half of the SEC.

I get his message on % participating and he needs it expanded for Mizzou to have a real shot every year (so I appreciate his idea). I just don't know how this works in reality?
