We also discuss the recent pronouncement by Missouri Coach Gary Pinkel that all “Independent Football Teams” needed to be forced to join a conference.  We go 50 Shades deeper and tackle the question: Given that CFB has never been about “consistency”, should CFB go the way of standardization for the betterment of the game?  Or do we go too far when we start to dictate terms?
