First of all there is no "fix" for the system. There is no perfect way of doing this.

Second of all, a playoff system would not work. This is not a professional league. These are students who have to study. Personally that's the reason why I hate all these NCAA football and basketball crap. Remembering how TCU was worried about the schedule of the GMAC bowl because of the conflicts with final exams? With the complicated schedules of all the schools, how do you come up with a reasonable playoff schedule? Are we going to sacrifice their student identities even more simply for the reason to generate more revenue for these greedy colleges?

What would it look like if someone really offered 20mil to the schools for playing that additional game? Slave traders selling gladiators? These "players" wouldn't even get a playoff bonus for playing those additional games.

Seperate the schools and the sports. That'd fix it all.
