Didn't the NCAA already decide that with relaxation of transfer rules?

The 2020 ISU team would have made a 12-team playoff. We had the players to compete for at least a shot at a NC. As long as there is a 12-team playoff, the B12 will have 1-2 teams in the CFP. I would be an ISU fan even if ISU were FCS level, but I would have very little interest in watching the CFP if that were the case.
I assume with your comment that there is minimum. Maybe the schools will lobby to have it reduced. Alternative is some schools may drop football or the school's general funds will be used. That means cutting in educational areas or more state support, thus possibly higher taxes.

Yeah we have 18 or 19. There is a 16 minimum for the big 12 and I think 14 or 15 for D1.
If athletes become employees, it may only apply to significant revenue generating sports- MBB, WBB, FB, WR, VB? And the pool of competing schools could be much smaller (e.g. At how many schools is WBB, VB or WR revenue generating to cover employee salary and benefits?).
Title IX is also a consideration. I am sure people are looking to see if FB and MBB can be spun off from the University entity. B Then maybe all other sports have a structure same as today. But without the $ from FB/MBB, I would think there would be cuts or cost tightening.
I would be surprised if the NCAA eventually governs the top basketball schools as well. Especially if Yormark gets his wish and basketball media rights are a separate contract.
I hope they go to as many SEC championship games as A&M, zero.
Don’t worry, they won’t. They’ll try to bully around the SEC and find out they are no longer the biggest fish in the sea.
Living in Husker Land, it has been quite the year. They got to 5-3 with wins over..... well, no one really. Then they had the remaining "gauntlet" (LOL) of Michigan State, Maryland, Wisconsin and Iowa. They lost those games by 3 points, 3 points, 7 points and 3 points. Nebraska had one of the easiest schedules in the nation. But here in Dreamland they still think Rhule just needs more time. Oh, and they lead the entire country in turnovers. Pairs well with their "sellout" streak. And now they add Oregon, Washington, USC and UCLA to future schedules. Good luck winning more national titles.
I feel so bad for their fans who 13 years ago were taunting us with, "Have fun playing in the MAC!

Isn't this now the 7th year in a row that Nebraska couldn't get bowl eligible? sheesh, how far the mighty has fallen.
I think he will make Nebraska successful, but that's a relative thing. Eight and four and a decent bowl game would be way better than they've been for years. I doubt they'll be contending for national championships. It'd be nice to see them beat Iowa once in a while.
