ESPN's Kirk Herbstreit has a three-step plan to fix what he called a "really big problem." Speaking with Front Office Sports, Herbstreit called for a commissioner for college football as well as collective bargaining with the players. Then, he said the Power Four conferences should break away and form their own league. Given the amount of litigation the NCAA is facing, most recently a slew of eligibility lawsuits, he said a collective bargaining agreement would prevent those issues, which largely surround antitrust law. "Just create a new level, which would be the Power Four, and then let’s put a new governing body," Herbstreit said. "Let's put a commissioner. If we need to unionize the players to allow them to create a CBA to avoid the antitrust laws, make the rules, come to an agreement like the NFL does on both sides. I think that's the only way." _ _ _ _ I bring this to you so that you realize what dramatic changes are still to occur in playing D1 football. But it doesn't end there... if this is how college "minor league" football is going to progress, it will change the landscape for ALL levels of college ball.

I just posted on my social feeds this "PROMO". I'm also sending it out as an e-mail to our TEAM! (a new feature from Skool) 🤩 I'm looking for kickers, parents and coaches to join us in KICKING SKOOL.
