Introduction

Some famous football coaches say college football has big problems. The rules do not work and schools are not focusing on study.

Main Body

Coach Steve Sarkisian says the NCAA does not punish teams. He thinks the rules are weak. He wants a small group of top teams to make their own strong rules. Sarkisian also says some schools are too easy. He says the University of Mississippi does not make students study hard. Other coaches say some schools pay players money to move. Coach Lane Kiffin moved to LSU for a lot of money. He said it is hard to find players in Mississippi because of old problems with race. Many people were angry about this. Some leaders do not like the new playoff rules. They think 24 teams are too many. Sarkisian wants only four teams in the final games.

Conclusion

Money and bad rules are changing college football. It is not the same as before.
