College GameDay is one of the most popular college football broadcasts every week. Millions of fans watch the show every week as it covers one of the premier games. This week, it will obviously be covering the National Championship Game.
In the leadup to the National Championship Game between the Ohio State Buckeyes and Notre Dame Fighting Irish, College GameDay host Kirk Herbstreit spoke about the flaws in college football becoming a more national sport. He offered a solution that could fix the issue (starts at 8:05).
"Well now it's a National sport and I still feel like we're looking at it through these different silos," said Herbstreit. "So, how do we move forward where the Big Ten or the SEC might think we need to go this way and other leaders might say no we need to go this way?
"I just don't know how we get anywhere unless we eventually get to a commissioner with one voice. That these conference commissioners speak to and convey their concerns in this commissioner's office and says, this is what we're going to do."
Herbstreit also spoke about the importance of the players forming a union at some point. With the introduction of NIL and college football becoming more like a professional league, this has been a topic that has come up many times in recent years.
"The players form some sort of a union. It could be former players. It could be a couple current players. I don't know what the answer is but you form a union, form a collective bargaining agreement. You get through all the minutia of anti-trust laws. You agree on NIL. You agree on transfer portal. You agree on dates. Bring some sense to this whole thing."
