That is just it though, technically they are not locked out of the Playoffs


because the 4 playoff bids are all at-large. At the beginning of any season all 130 DI-FBS teams have the same opportunity to earn 1 of those playoff bids at the end of the season. Likewise, they receive an automatic bid to the NYD6 bowls and are still eligible for the other remaining at-large bids which is the same for the 4 power conferences. So technically the current system does not violate any antitrust laws. Whereas your proposal would violate antitrust laws.
