I fucking hate the south, the state of Alabubba, the Tree Killers of UA, and Saban for taking part in it. But, reading the arguments of Archives is just painful.
Also, there happen to be a private school in the playoffs. It also happens to be God's university.

NCAA rules are antiquated and I think they actually encourage cheating.
Don't be afraid to see what you see
I've long been one of those old sticklers who wants to preserve the amateurism and concept of the student athlete. But, the NCAA has acted stupidly for years, and the academy has opted to corrupt itself over money. Academic standards have been watered down, making the whole thing look like a bad joke.
Unfortunately, it will come crashing down someday. Players should be wary, though, because, once they become paid employees, they will be sacrificing the free diploma, and the privileges and benefits that come with it.

You keep returning with the same "arguments." Schools aren't a business, they don't exist to turn a profit, they were created to educate, not provide entertainment. "Publish or perish," and research are done to advance the academic reputation of the University
What other "athletics" does Alabama have but football? And the two private schools you mentioned are two, that is two, two, and I'd have to add that Stanford's probability of ever even reaching a football playoff is remote at best
One private school, one, and probably the only one ever capable of making a football playoff, and at least they spend their own money to get to that level. In time, they will be shut out also, there is a reason the Power Five Conferences maintain the playoff to four teams
And I would think God has more important things to do than concern Himself with who wins a football game

You just keep saying that they are not supposed to be interested in profits. Maybe if you say it enough you will believe it. That will make one of us.
As for other athletics, there are none as famous as football. But the Alabama baseball team has made it to the college world series. The gymnastics team has won national championships as have the softball and golf teams. They just don't make money doing it.
No they won't, UCF is a good example, if you maintain the playoffs at four teams you have to start the year ranked in the top ten, and when was the last time a Baylor was ranked that high?
The Power Five own the NCAA and the playoff system, even private schools in those leagues chances are remote at best
Really? Hasn't seem to bother them all that much
And of course they go after the Syracuses of the college world, especially in Bball, Syracuse not as big a player in football, did you notice Syracuse was penalized harshly for one tenth of the infractions that North Carolina got off completely free for? And what Louisville did bordered on criminal, and it is hard to believe some of the larger State schools don't participle in similar activities
