The NFL sent a warning shot to college football with its schedule release on Wednesday
  • NFL counter-scheduled massive matchups opposite CFP games on Dec. 21, historically held by NFL, airing on broadcast television.
  • CFP decided to battle on Saturday rather than during the work week in December, as scheduling was a major complication.
  • CFP should stand its ground against NFL, prioritize creating the best product for fans, optimistic about upcoming matchups.

      Absolutely. I like the NFL, but it’s a team I have no affiliation with besides I like the team. I went to my college, I had classes with the players, and spent 4 years of my life “in” the organization, and a few more living in the town. It’s not even close for me. If my NFL team is playing, I’ll second screen it and it’ll be on mute for my CFB team.

    I can only speak for myself, but I find college games more entertaining than NFL games. I wonder how this will actually play out. I’m guessing it will depend heavily on which teams/fan bases are matches up in those games.
