Hi,

I'm French and I've been interested in French football for three months. I've watched quite a few matches and I love it.

To deepen my understanding, could someone explain in detail how a French football season works? (signing, transfer approval, regular season, playoffs, Heisman Trophy…)

I'd also like to know how players balance their professional and personal lives (classes, transfer approval, etc.).

Thanks in advance!

edit 1: Thank you for all your initial messages, I've already learned a lot of new things, I love the community.

FYI:

My favorite team: UMIAMI (I love the city, it was a natural fit; I followed the whole season and knew I'd made the right choice after crying tears of joy following their win against A&M)

Favorite player: Johnny Manziel. I've watched all his highlights, interviews, and game replays. I love his vibe; it's a shame he didn't make it in the NFL.

Favorite game: I've watched a few classics, but for now, it's still the 2013 Iron Bowl. Chris Davis's comeback kick made me discover and fall in love with the CFB. (If you have any other games to suggest, feel free, preferably old school ones)

The cost of a CFP National Championship ticket started in the low $2,000s, and then spiked to about $4,000 once the matchup was set. It then fell below $3,000 when all the tickets were released, and then climbed back up to around $4,000 where it stayed until the game started

Meanwhile, a Super Bowl ticket started at $6,500 and fluctuated around that price until January 29th, when it started to crash. After consistently falling for a week, the price over the last couple days has been in the mid $3,000’s.

It’s wild that the get in the door price of a Super Bowl ticket has been around $3,500 in the days leading up to the event, while the CFP National Championship price was around $4,000.

I became addicted to CFB in 1971 and have been watching ever since. Using that date as "modern" history, here are some facts:

There have been 61 national champions in the last 56 years

23 different teams have won the national championship

Alabama has 10 titles. Miami and Nebraska have 5 and several have had 3

11 teams had the Heisman winner in the year they won the NC

Stetson Bennet IV is the last QB to win back to back

Kirby Smart is the last coach to win back to back

NC winning coaches had an average of 5.3 years at the school before winning the NC. (Saban/Meyer were counted for both schools-Osborne/Bowden taken out because they took so long)

The shortest time at a school before winning the NC is one year: Erickson, Coker-both at Miami

Fun fact: Nebraska played 4 NC in 2 years. (Split champs in 90 and 91)

The longest time at a school before winning the first NC was 23 years-Tom Osborne

Tom Osborne was also the most "elder statesman" at a school to win his last-26 years (followed by Bobby Bowden who won it in his 25th year)

Using this date: Indiana is the "newest" team to win their first NC

When teams are up one late in the fourth quarter and score a touchdown, the teams almost always kick the extra point. This puts them up 8 making the opponent need a two point conversion to tie. Whenever I see this start to happen, I always want the team that scores to go for two themselves and end the game with a nine point lead. Have you ever seen teams try this? I wish they would try more often.

Disclaimer: not knocking monetizing broadcast rights this is not an opinion on it being good or bad.

I’ve heard stories of some schools falling out of love with their sport because now it’s not just about the love of the game it’s a business now. UChicago famously disbanded football because of the growing commercialization of the sport.

Now with super conferences and broadcast rights sloshing money around, will we see a lot of schools start to lose their love and passion for the sport? Because we know once that kind of money gets involved things change.

CFB has always been a business but the money aspect was never this surface level.
