None of you have given a shit about competitive balance. You ain't fooling anyone.

Competitive balance was damaged by continuing to try to find a way to crown the perfect national champion in the sport that traditionally didn't put as much weight into a national championship as other sports. Competitive balance will likely be killed by the NIL.
I don't give a shit about MAC schools to be honest, but the P5 schools had been able to compete with one another assuming the athletic department didn't have their heads up their asses. Take WVU, the school I'm a fan of for instance. In the BCS era they played in 4 BCS bowls and came up 1 game short of playing for a national title. Under the old bowl system they played for an outright national title in '88 and a share of one in '92. Those accomplishments are impossible to replicate under the current system.
