This message started out to highlight the preferential treatment and deference given to College Football's FBS League, but the main point is about Money as the God of All Sports.When it comes to leagues, owners, commissioners, committees, management, labor, players and media, sports products, sports services, naming rights and endorsements, all sports are about financial gain, pure and simple. They are not about wins and losses or the skill level of players or safety of players or records set by players or teams. Money is what matters most. This is why, in all sports on all levels and all leagues, teams that perform the worst on the field year after year, still exist, despite losing more than winning and despite not winning titles. Making money is what matters most and trumps all else, except in the gullible feeble minds of fans who have bought into the illusions that keeps them giving up lots of money to the teams. Every year, the FBS College Football shennigans begin with a jury of, mostly white males, deciding who they will rank as the best team. From there the falsities continue to crescendo into who will be chosen to play for the National Championship. Everybody goes along with it, including the colleges in the league that have the lowest chance of being selected for the playoffs or for certain bowl games, despite good on field performance. This performance is always downgraded or upgraded based on being one of the most prestigious (money-making) colleges. These less prestigious colleges go along with the plan because the college still makes a lot of money in multiple ways.
The FBS College Football Playoff Committee is appointed by the conferences in The FBS and is as self-serving as alumni associations, the commissioners of major national sports and as as criminal as homeowner's associations, historic districts, building code offices, elections and supreme courts.
You're a fool if you think sports committees, rankings, referees, judges or any other human, by virtue of their job, are just automatically honest and dedicated to the purity of the game and not prone to corruption from money, power, control, authority or other distorted human logic. The most money flows to the colleges that can generate the most revenue and attendance to sporting events and attendance in pursuing education at the college. This allows these schools to attract the best players by offering attractive scholarships “free rides.” This allows these colleges to have the best facilities and other perks and based on reputation, give the players a better chance of making it to the National Football League. This is paired with the notion of the education these schools offer as being better than other schools, thus the students make better employees. This causes more students to want to attend the school, thus more money follows.

Schools With Highest Sports Attendance Generally Make The Playoffs
In the past ten years, the four college teams in FBS playoffs have come from only five of the conferences in the FBS league, who are unashamedly called the Power Five. Even among these five, preference is given to mostly the top three money generating conferences. https://collegefootballplayoff.com/sports/2019/5/22/history
2022 Alabama (SEC), Georgia (SEC), Cincinnati (AAC Group of 5), Michigan (Big Ten)
2021 Alabama (SEC), Notre Dame (Big Ten), Ohio State (Big Ten), Michigan (Big Ten)
2020 LSU (SEC), Oklahoma (Big 12), Ohio State (Big Ten), Clemson (ACC)
2019 Alabama (SEC), Notre Dame (Big Ten), Oklahoma (Big 12), Clemson (ACC)
2018 Alabama (SEC), Georgia (SEC), Oklahoma (Big 12), Clemson (ACC)

2013 Bowl Championship Series (BCS), which was in place for 16 seasons and was replaced by the College Football Playoff (CFP) at the start of the 2014 season. The BCS was a ball of confusion and so is the CFP. The only consistency is inconsistency and criminality of ranking teams in a highly subjective manner, though presented as objective, despite many convolutions that allow pure subjectivity (personal preference). The CFP system is as crooked as election primaries, general elections, national committees determining presidential candidates and electoral college votes determining the presidency rather than the popular vote. https://collegefootballplayoff.com/sports/2016/10/24/selection-committee-protocol

Heisman Trophy
This award is supposed to be about the best college football player in the USA. Although this award is available to any college player, you can be certain that players in the FBS have an advantage of being considered because the schools are said to have higher quality players and opponents. Also, mostly quarterbacks, running backs and wide receivers are chosen. Of course the selection committee and process is significantly subjective, depending on the personal preferences of each voter. Notice which colleges are usually involved as having Heisman contenders.

The fact that sports are all about money was proven again on the 12.06.22 episode of ESPN's Pardon The interruption. The question was asked, which is the better conference, the SEC or Big Ten. The answer was the SEC when it comes to football but the Big Ten when it comes to money per Wilbon. Whether or not the Big Ten makes more money than the SEC has not been verified and is not the point. The point is, what makes a conference better is based on money. At least some sports analysts know this.Money & Gentlemen
Golf is the so-called Gentleman's Game, however, money is evidently what makes the difference between a gentleman and a traitorous brute.PGA crybabies claim that PGA players who are now going to Dubai to play in their league are traitors and disrespecting the game. Meanwhile the PGA has been making big bank bucks while players, who are self-employed, have to bear a lot of expenses in hopes of winning a tournament where they might win a few million every once in a while. The PGA is a business corporation who is all about money. There is no sport, or Olympics that is not about money first and foremost. Despite what is told to children and promoted by media, sports are not about the game, the purity of the game. They are about the amount of monetary gain. The only people that actually care about skill level and hall of fame are players and fans. Whatever illusion it takes to get people to play and get people to pay money to watch and become emotionally and mentally invested in a team. Of course, good lessons can be learned from sports but these lessons are byproducts of sports, not the main purpose of sports.
Every decision in sports is money driven, except for decisions by fans who are the targets and who do not earn any money from sports. Thankfully now justice is improving that is allowing college players to make money from sports. Take that you money thugrats on the backs of athletes who are putting their health in danger and who do all the hard work, while those making the most money sit back and come up with a longer list of things to fine players for so they can take money back, not because they care about the stated reason for the fine.
By The Way: After money, sports are about white owner mentality, then about whites in almost all positions of power, then about males, then about white males in their illegitimate white societies, then about white males in the USA as the best in the world, then about Hitleresque white male master mentality controlling people who ain't white. Money alone is enough to corrupt the purity of sports; however, when you add all these other pieces of broken logic, there is no way sports can primarily or secondarily be about the purity of the sports game. Let us not forget that favored groups will use any means necessary to win at anything, and agree to spread championships around, just as Republicans and Democrats agree to share the presidency, all this to keep people distractedly engaged while money is being made and more than the sports games are being played.
