Look at the amount of money that some of these schools in the SEC and BIG TEN get each week from filling up 80,000 plus stadiums. Only reason their filling the stadiums is from their players and these players get nothing from it. Also exams have nothing to do with it. The have playoffs in DIV 1AA, DIV 2 & 3 that last a couples of weeks and it works perfectly fine.
Yes but you only have 4 teams still playing after the first week in December at those levels. That is fine but if D1 is down to 4 teams after December 3rd why not wait for New Years Day to start the final four? If you push everything back and make it so that 16 teams have interference with exams and that there are more weeks where the teams that advance do have a conflict then the problem gets worse. There is also significantly more time spent with the media at the D1 level that cuts into your study time.
