No surprise here...

Wonder if the same group would do a survey amongst SWAC and Ivy League players to see if they'd prefer an opportunity to compete for a national championship, instead of just a league title...


A National College Players Association (NCPA) survey of college football players from Football Bowl Subdivision schools reveals that 81% of respondents favor a playoff to determine the national champion. After reviewing various playoff models, the percentage of those in support of a playoff jumps to 89%. The most popular playoff model among those surveyed is a 16-team playoff that guarantees entry to all 11 conference champions as well as 5 at large teams.

The survey results also show a strong desire among college football players to use bowl games as a part of any playoff system, and 58% of respondents would like to see the number of regular season games reduced if a playoff is implemented.

I also wonder what the Presidents' reaction will be if the group is allowed to survey our players...

They'll ignore that survey. However, what do the alumni think? That's the important question.

I don't know if I have read it on here but why is it that they don't compete for a national title??

that's the point. the alumni should be aware of what's going on in Ivy football right now, and that they be aware it should need adaptation to the current trends in FCS (e.g. playoffs). the alumni aren't really that involved right now because of the Presidents' inaction to the current trends in FCS when it comes to implementing them in the Ivy League.

Yeah, but the alumni aren't blind, are they? Surely they can remember the days of national prominence (read: the late 60s) and wonder why this is no longer so, right?
