>>140148197Michigan admits guilt in recruiting violations during the COVID19 quarantine period. Three years of probation, coaches involved other than Harbaugh receive one year show-cause. Harbaugh will be dealt with separately, but there's really nothing the NCAA can do to him now. Additional restrictions on recruiting might be imposed later when the infractions committee issues its final report. No vacated wins.

Run off to /nfl/ and suck some cock over there you nancyboy.Your moronic "the Broadcast Act is the highest law of the land and never can be changed" theory sounds like the type of crap some CUSA school would teach and you were stupid enough to believe. Your homosexual desires will never force the Big Ten and SEC to do jack shit and any politician stupid enough to follow your "well, Wyoming and Idaho have Senate seats too" line of insanity will lose their career.

>>140156787yes, the real problem with the sport was too many regional rivalries. thankfully we are extinguishing those
>>140148197>removing goldy and bucky from the B1Gextremely midwit to remove a founding conference member to replace them with Cincinnati and Lousiville.
>>140156787AgreedAnyone who hates college football becoming the NFL with cross-country regular season games, corporate professional contracts and private equity firm investments is le heckin Reddit cringe
>>140150234That’s the clone.
>>140157151The super conference thing isn’t going to happen. It’s just some writers fishing for clicks and enticing conversation about what they wrote because it’s so retarded. What’s happening is the Rapture, you’ll either go to the SEC or Big Ten or get Left Behind. If any sort of “superconference” bullshit happens, it’ll be after that is completed.
Now that transfer portal is open, how many years until CFB collapses from all players (minus military academies) being free agents to the highest bidder every year?
>>140156920Which regional rivalries have been extinguished?
>>140158708player being employees of sorts should help fix the situation
>>140158718bedlam
>>140158718Nebraska-MissouriOklahoma-Oklahoma StateTexas-TCUPitt-WVUApple CupCivil WarUSC-Stanforddo you want more?
>>140158719Only if the player faces a fine or buyout for breaking the contract. Now teams can just take in an entire roster worth of transfer and build a new team every year from that. Colorado is taking in every nignog transfer they can find.
EVERY sport should be aligned geographically. Helps with attendance, travel for fans & players, rivals, etc. There's no reason for a school from New York & California to be in the same conference. Stick all the Northeast schools together.
>>140158697Yeah, its not going to happen unless its forced, that's pretty obvious. Their representation from college athletics is Syracuse. Its a shame though, it legitimately is the best possibly format- regional round robin play leading into national playoffs. However, I doubt we'll see an actual breakaway by SEC/Big Ten. The obvious political backlash aside, I feel like even they are smart enough to realize they would just be creating an extremely inferior NFL. Really, the people who are against anything breaking up the current format would be schools who are getting far more money than they are actually worth (Mississippi schools, Vanderbilt, half the Big Ten). With unequal revenue distribution in the super league, the top media value schools would probably see similar or increased payouts, depending on how its done. In the current format, Illinois is basically taking away a big chunk of Ohio State and Michigan's media value. OSU and Michigan have the highest media value in college football by far, if they actually got paid what they were worth their revenue would increase.
>>140158798That's exactly how it would work. If you want to take a player from another team, you buy out their contract. If you want to cut a player, you have to buy out their contract. Would be a much better system.
Can't wait for a BASEDbone team to get screwed out of getting a playoff spot because it's not marketable and will get low ratings.
>>140148197If this meme happens some of the top teams have to be broken apart. You can't load up a couple divisions with all the superpowers. That is what led to all the realignment drama in the first place. It's not just about money, there are also huge recruiting advantages to having a stacked conference and that would happen again with that alignment. Divisions have to be relatively even and each have a few big programs. Start each division like below, then fill them out with regional schools and historical rivals.>Michigan, Michigan State, Ohio State>Alabama, Auburn, Tennessee>Florida, Florida State, Georgia>Notre Dame, Penn State, Clemson>Texas, Texas A&M, LSU>Nebraska, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State>West is fine as is, maybe Arizona and Arizona State get traded out for BYU and UtahMost of the sport's biggest rivalries are kept together. Texas and Oklahoma were in separate conferences for most of their existence, they'll survive if that game goes back to noncon. ND/Penn State/Clempus will have some awkward geography but that will happen to somebody just due to CFB's map. Given the history of those programs I don't think they'd bitch too much about it.What would make this model better would be 7x9 instead of 7x10, and not just because it means fewer mouths to feed. Every team gets 4H/4A conference games every year instead of unbalanced H/A splits. You could require them all to schedule 2 other P7 opponents each season to have more equal schedules and make life easier for separated rivals who want to keep playing annually. Each of the 9 pro/rel teams would be guaranteed 1H/1A game per year vs a P7 team, so that's a rotation of 18/63 P7 teams who get one of those games assigned to them. Schools can schedule whoever they want for their remaining game or two.>Oregon State, Washington State, SMU, Wake Forest, Boston College, Rutgers and Vanderbilt are all voted off the island; still eligible for pro/rel
I could not imagine being a FBS team fan, especially P2 teams At that point, you aren’t engaging in a community, you are a cattle customer being exploited by corporations
With the playoff, how many teams from what conferences will be in every year?>SEC3+ every year>Big Ten2+ every year>ACC1-2 every year>Big 120-1 every year>Notre DameWill be in every year because of what they did more than 3 decades ago.>P5 team that don't run the optionThey'll only ever get one, even if they have 2 undefeated teams.
>>140159608Big 12 champ is guaranteed a playoff spot, unless you think two G5 champs will be ranked above them. In the B1G and the SEC both CCG teams are getting in the playoff no matter who wins, but you could see situations in the ACC or the Big 12 where an upset causes a bid thief situation. If an undefeated team loses to a 9-10 win team (think 2022 Kansas State over TCU) that will lead to a Big 12 or ACC team with no shot of an at large bid stealing a conference champion bid while their 12-1 opponent is bumped down to at large.
>>140149052I do not believe that Nebraska is more popular in SD than SDSU
>>140158718WVU used to have annual rivalry games against Pitt and VaTechnow WVU plays Iowa State and Kansas and Okie Light and somehow I am supposed to be exited about a new rivalry with the Buffaloes and Mormons on the other side of the country
>>140159864Commitee will never rank 2 G5 teams very high since they automatically get one spot anyway. You can have 2 undefeated G5 teams and they'll still be ranked poorly by default. For the Big 12 I think it depends on who wins the conference. Some of them aren't as marketable as others. I wouldn't be surprised if Colorado wins it with a lot of bullshit calls.
>>140159931>he isn't excited for the John Denver Bowl against ColoradoPitt and Virginia Tech are likely joining the Big 12 at some point
Prepare for CL spam after that game is over if you want to keep this up
>>140158718Kansas Misery
>>140150789How is the Jayhawks smug?
What are the odds that Texas doesn't shit the bed this season and makes the Playoffs? What G5 team has the best shot at getting the auto-bid, and why is it Memphis?
USC is getting all the best transfers and winning the natty this year. SEC hillbilly retards are done. Put the word out.
>>140164490Wrong. Air Force is going to BASEDbone their way to a playoff spot and then grind out wins to a Natty.
>>140163079kek I actually looked up the odds. to make the playoffs, yes is -250 and no is +190. If I weren't in Texas where betting is illegal, I'd slam the no
>>140165712>not legal in Texas>5 other states join them as being illegalThe only state I understand is Utah, the rest I don't get why it's illegal.
>>140165990In some states the brick and mortar sportsbooks lobby against legalizing stuff like Draft Kings because that would take away business from them instead of forcing you to visit them. The sportsbooks in Vegas also lobbied hard against legalizing sports gambling in other states for the same reason, though I think they gave up on that.
>>140166547At least Utah is the only one that prohibits gambling, casinos, and the lottery for a reason that isn't pure greed. Even though Mormons are pretty weird.
>>140165990in Texas, it actually polls very well and enjoys bipartisan support, but the lieutenant governor refuses to take up a bill to legalize it. so one fuckin guy holds it up
>>140168596Texas is like the only state to give the lieutenant governor power
What's coach prime got cooking?
>>140169169I do love living here but that and the liquor store laws activate my almonds
>>140149052I wonder if a major football power had developed in New York/New England if Notre Dame would have nearly as much pull has they have/had.
>>140169205>black qbs
>>140169881Ivy League having a bunch of pull in the early years then deemphasizing sports is probably the main reason. In an alternate time line, UMass, UConn, URI would have developed historical football programs.
>>140169881Even if that happened Notre Dame still would have had the Catholic card to draw in tons of fans nationwide. When boomers die off I suspect Notre Dame’s influence will diminish since they’re the last generation that is mostly religious and has memories of ND winning anything meaningful.
>>14016920560-80 transfers that are black because racist as fuck. Even their kicker and punter are going to be black.
>>140171043NOOOO we must keep giving ND a national TV contract because they were good 30+ years ago. It's like how the Cowboys get a disproportionate amount of primetime games even though they haven't won an Owl in almost 30 years.
>>140171545They get a national tv contract because they get the most views on average even if they suck.If you're mad? You southerners need to start supporting your program even when they are sub .500
>>140172778Not a southerner. All their viewers are boomers that still believe it's the 1970s or remember their dads talking about how ND was god-tier in the 40s. By the time all the boomers die out in the next 10-20 years, ND still won't have a Natty since 88.
>>140172778Southerner here. I like that Notre Dame has their own contract. It keeps that shit ass football contained to NBC and Peacock where it doesn't interrupt MUH SEC in any way.
>>140172778In the 90s they did, they absolutely lose money because of it now and do it on principle
>>140172778nta but I'm a northerner who hates ND. join a fuckin conference you're not special
>>140155708>Threaten to allow NFL to play on Saturday.lol. NFL would not want to compete with Colege football. They may get more views but cfb would cut way to much into their shares.

>>140175894are you trying to say that they didn't extinguish regional rivalries? because your post isn't doing that
>>140176670I'm saying the SEC/Big Ten aren't the ones destroying these rivalries and those are the conferences anons are bitching about.
>>140176704I don't know why you're in favor of such a thing though
>>140176704>I'm saying the SEC/Big Ten aren't the ones destroying these rivalriesSEC just destroyed Alabama/Miss State (closest and most played rivalry) and Georgia/South Carolina
Utah doomsday has arrived
>>140155708classic government feebly attempts fix something it broke and look like the hero doing so
>>140175894Nebraska and Missouri were both in the Norf, they still played every year in the Big 12. Nebraska/Oklahoma is what the Big 12 killed. Also Bedlam is not still on but Civil War and Apple Cup are.
>>140177139South Carolina didn't join the SEC until 1992, I guess the SEC killed all their ACC rivalries.
>>140181034yes
>>140180340wait until they introduce the football equivalent of NET and Oregon and Washington decide not to play their state rivals because it would hurt their score to make the playoff
>>140180340Oklahoma killed the Nebraska rivalry by deciding to not make it protected
>>140184605Maybe little brothers should take a page from ass to mouth and become big enough to be worth putting on the schedule
>>140185755I just can't understand this mentality though. Is it really worth it to kill rivalries to play a good team 1000 miles away that your school doesn't care about
>>140185860What rivalries are officially off until further notice? The ones people mention seem to have all died ages ago but people are blaming the current round of realignment for shit that died 30 years ago.
>>140185965it's more that it's a gradual enshittification over that time period. but to answer your question the ones that are off as a direct and immediate result to all this current nonsense are Texas-TCU/Baylor/Tech; OU/OSU; UCLA-Cal; USC-Stanford. Not to mention from a few years ago that forces me to watch my Big Ten team play fucking Rutgers and Maryland every year for no reason other than muh TV markets
>>140185965>>140186245and as was said earlier, I feel nearly certain that apple cup, civil war will be gone in short order
>>140185860Yes, the Jewish corporate bootlickers like >>140185755 actually think like this These are the people excited to see private equity investments be msde
>>140186245Texas does not consider those schools to be rivals, Oklahoma and A&M are their rivals.
>>140186279we actually need semifinals for conference title games at neutral sites to grow the game
>>140186279The issue is that people are treating the symptoms and not the disease. You’re bitching about realignment because all of a sudden you’re now on the receiving end of being left out. This has been going on for over thirty years and you didn’t care then because your shitty community college directional school was still in the mix.
>be OU>win the natty sorry not sorryits happening and theres nothing nobody can do about it
>>140186314nta but it sucks on the other end. I'm a Michigan alum and realignment has always been stupid cause I have to watch my team play schools that I don't give a shit about. And now I get to do even more of that this year, looking forward to that...
>>140186366Yeah, you always had to watch those teams but at least it’s buttgers or pooyland and not App State.
>>140186410there's a difference between playing a school I don't give shit about once vs that school every damn year
>>140181034South Carolina is the Belgium of SEC teams.
>>140186469Well, now you get to rematch Washington on the regular and USC on the regular.
>>140186580oh man those away trips to paradises like Seattle and LA sound fantastic
>>140186840>implying you go to away games>implying you go to games at all anymore
>>140186840>he doesn't like cities riddled with homeless encampments, dirty needles, feces, and roaming "youth gangs" stealing everythingWhat are you, some crazy alt-right white supremacist neo-nazi?
>>140187328>>140187325picrel to both of you
>>140181034They left the ACC in the 1970's. And back then, Georgia had annual OOC series against both South Carolina and Clemson. SEC played very few conference games, and several SEC teams would just never play each other.
>>140186366There will be some randomness year to year depending on who each school draws but Michigan's schedule is getting a huge upgrade in 2024 thanks to realignment>adding USC, Oregon, at Washington>skipping Maryland, Penn State, Rutgers (only looking at former East teams)I can understand if you're not happy about missing Penn State but you're also dropping two snoozer games vs noncompetitive market babbies who are only in the B1G because they can force a lot of people to pay more for the BTN. In exchange you're getting a home game vs a blueblood who hasn't played in Ann Arbor since the 50s, a home game vs one of the best programs of the last couple decades and a road game to one of the most kino stadiums in CFB which is also a title game rematch. Unless you have a huge boner for Penn State that's a winning tradeoff for Michigan.
Georgia Tech has a harder schedule than Michigan, Alabama, Georgia, USC, and Ohio State. Everyone but Ohio State at least is in the Top 15 for hardest schedule. Another year when Ohio State is gifted 10 free wins. In no world should Georgia Tech have a harder schedule than the top teams. It's all 100% bullshit and needs to stop.
>>140188149It's a one off year where Ohio State plays 3 OOC shitters. That usually doesn't happen. They just played a home and home with Notre Dame and in the next 4 years they'll do the same with Texas and Alabama.
>>140188471They played two tough teams last regular season in Michigan and Penn State. ND is a fraud every year and only gets ranked because they're ND. Again, they're gifted 10 free wins every season. NO powerhouse team should be allowed to schedule OOC shitters. Your OOC opponents should be relative to your team ranking.
>>140188599This year they're playing at Oregon, at Penn State and Michigan. That's 3 pretty tough games. Not Ohio State's fault teams that should provide better competition like Iowa, Nebraska and Michigan State are all rolling around in their own feces.
>>140188733It is Ohio State's fault that 3/4 OOC opponents are automatic wins and not even remotely close to their ranking. It's a simple fix to force teams to play OOC opponents that are close to their pre-season ranking.
>>140188830If you actually enforced it as a rule sure but it's very clear and proven trashing 3-4 shitters helps you better than splitting 2 games with great teams, that's why no one does it>simplenothing simple about college football economics, everything is tied into shit you're not thinking about. Dumpy teams need to take payday beatings to pay for their Title IX fodder they have to put out to have a football team
>>140188733I've been hating on Michigan's easy noncon for years but the non-OSU/PSU games have basically become walkovers in the Big Ten. when will the conference step in and do something about these shitters
>>140188949I don't give a fuck about the endless greed of these retards. I care about the competitive integrity and fairness of the sport. Watching Alabama BTFO of Mercer isn't competitive or fair. Fuck these greedy retards that already vastly overcharge their students for literally everything imaginable while having the most bloated & useless employees.
>>140189012Well sure, that I agree with. That's why I don't watch nonconf on principle and barely watch the season at all nowOhio State hasn't lost to a non-P5 since like 1990. How can you possibly fool yourself into finding them playing Akron watchable
>>140188975The main issue is recruiting is outside the south Michigan/aOSU are national recruiting teams and the lesser big ten teams can't compete even when the stars align and they have their shit together
>>140189153Those stats should also be removed or at the very least not counted for award voting. Padding your stats with an automatic 4-5 TDs PER OOC shitter is retarded. Look at Jayden Daniels, who was 2nd in Pass TDs with 40. Then you see that 11 of them were against absolute shitter Grambling and Georgia State. Without those TDs he'd be tied with North Texas' QB at #11. Good fucking luck in the NFL.
>>140189153>>140189012I would be sad to see a ton of G5 teams fold if they lost their revenue source. nothing like a comfy night in Laramie or Fort Collins or Ruston
>>140188975>when will the conference step in and do something about these shittersThat's what realignment accomplished. Oregon is a top 5-10 team. If Riley figures out defense USC will be a championship contender in the near future. Washington will struggle for a year or two after graduation and the portal hollowed out their roster when Deboer left but Fisch is a solid replacement. UCLA's problem for years has been not investing much in football. If that changes once they start getting B1Gbux they'll improve significantly.As for legacy B1G teams I'm pretty high on Fickell and Rhule. I think at least one of them will have his program winning 9-10 games and threatening top teams by 2025. In any given year one of Iowa/Nebraska/Wisconsin/Michigan State should be at a high point where they can give Ohio State/Michigan/Penn State a run for their money. That's where the B1G has really fallen off lately. Those 4 schools can't be expected to compete every year but they are definitely capable of competing when they're at a high point. Most years there should be 1 or 2 of them who have an older, experienced team and go on a run. But it has been awhile since any of them put together that kind of season.
>>140189415Make cuts elsewhere, then. If other sports aren't turning a profit, you get rid of them. Cut all the useless college employees and departments.
>>140189496>Cut all the useless college employees and departmentsa man can dream
>>140189496That's not how college sports work. There is federal legislation requiring schools have a bunch of financial black hole women's sports. There are NCAA and conference requirements for minimum number of teams as well. These are also mostly public institutions, which don't exist to turn a profit like a private business.
>>140189558Every single college is a business designed to turn a profit. If they weren't, the tuition wouldn't be as high as it is with all those useless majors.>legistlation>requirementsYes, bullshit to make women feel like they actually matter and anyone gives a shit about them athletically.ALL colleges should have to decide if they're a for-profit business or not. If yes, then anything that doesn't make a profit should be cut. If they're a non-profit, then tuition should be cut drastically. Trying to have it both ways is 100% bullshit, and anyone pushing for this should be hanged.
>>140189699OK anon, you keep pushing for chud idealism and I'll keep acknowledging how the real world operates. Title IX should no longer exist because it has served its purpose of getting more women in college but good fucking luck getting anyone to vote for that. As for rising tuition costs that's one part federal government involvement by guaranteeing student loans to any retard who enrolls in college and one part boomer politicians/voters pulling up the ladder behind them to fuck over younger generations by cutting higher education budgets.
>>140189907this anon gets it
>>140189907I know how the real world operates. Like if you tell secrets about the nefarious things your company is doing, you end up committing suicide by two gun shots to the back of the head. My "real world" hope now is that men en masse start claiming to be women and completely take over all women's sports, scholarships, grants, etc.

I'm very excited to see all non-revenue generating sports to be cut instantly the moment players are labeled employees and all the females and random swimming and meme sports players who kept complaining about being muh employees now will never get a scholarship and their sport shut down
>>140195673>implying Olympic sports are gonna be shut downYou do realize they announce which college they go to at the Olympics, yes? They aren’t getting shut down, universities brag about how many golds their students produce.
>>140195898nta, but the Olympics can't even keep a constant lineup of events. They keep switching some out for no real reason. Now they're having Flag Football in 2028. Why? Seriously, it's going to be an absolute bloodbath, with USA laying an ass beating on every country they face since the NFL are letting their players participate. Not to mention, the Olympics don't even have the balls to ban Russia, even though they dope and cheat every single time.
>>140195944The big events will stay (except Death March, sadly). Swimming draws views, gymnastics draws views, track and field draws views. They will stay.
>>140195985But it's stupid to have one-time only events, especially when they completely favor one country. Even baseball is just a contest of seeing who can get close to Japan. With flag football it's just USA and nobody else has a chance.
>>140196082Yeah, it’s stupid, but the big events remain and there are some large, rich universities who are willing to eat the cost for gold medals. The big state rivalries like Texas-A&M and Michigan-Michigan State compete over that nowadays.

Division III is expanding their football playoff to 40 teams. Seems like a lot but if someone like ESPN is paying, might as well get a few dollars out of it.
Simply making football players employees won't be enough to cause schools to drop non-revenue sports. Football would have to spin off into its own organization as the NCAA requires Division I schools to sponsor twelve sports. Currently at least six must be men's sports and at least six must be women's sports though the NCAA is adopting the SEC's rule requiring at least two more women's sports than men's sports, making the minimum for women eight sports.No school wants to drop down to Division II, which also has its own smaller number of required sports. So if football is still under the NCAA, to be a Division I member, most of the non-revenue sports will have to stay. If football does become its own independent thing, some schools might drop all the way down to Division III, the NAIA, or drop non-revenue sports entirely. Basketball would be tricky because anyone wanting to stay in the NCAA Division I would still have to have 6+8 sports.
Remind me again why AAU membership is considered an important benchmark for undergraduate athletics?
>>140186314>You’reSee this is what I hate about this shit. This might sound crazy but not everyone who is complaining about this shit and doesn't like seeing the sport basically become hedge funds turning programs into corporations is being left out or even has a horse in this race in the first place, yet this assumption is always made.Consider a casual, there's two times I'd watch Oregon football. If there is a high implication game for them to make postseason, or if they play their big rival (which in this case is Oregon State). These are the two times they get decent views at any point. Realignment killed the one time its worth watching Oregon football outside of if they are in playoffs. No one gives a shit about them playing Michigan and there's no draw for casuals to watch them anymore, especially in regular season
Colorado is down to 70 scholarship players as many of those who transferred in last season are now transferring out. Sanders says he's not concerned because his recruiting team is going to find even better replacements for the disloyal traders who left. It appears his "recruiting team" is mostly his sons.>Sanders also defended a social media post earlier this week from his son, Colorado safety Shilo Sanders, who instructed interested transfers to direct message either him or his brother, Buffaloes quarterback Shedeur Sanders.>"That's how stuff happens," Sanders said. "Players recruit players, man. We do a wonderful job as the staff, but they got to be validated by players because they play with those players that you're talking about either in high school or at all-star games. They know somebody that knows somebody. That's how the recruiting thing works, man. For real. It's players. They know who the dogs are and who the cats are."
>>140198639He's just a fucking lazy recruiter. He hasn't made a single recruiting visit to a high school since Colorado hired him, which is unheard of for a head coach.
>>140198951>black coaches
>>140198951>LOL, they've already forgotten about me doing the same thing.
Any of you lads gonna be watching golf championships? ACC championship is next week and SEC is the week after
what exactly is the endgame with NIL here. Schools are apparently willing to spend $5-10 million on basketball teams, does that mean $100 million for football? per year? how is that sustainable?
>>140199635it's not
>>140199635Within 5-10 years they'll become employees, form a union and sign a CBA. Until then it's Wild West anything goes free for all. As for how much is spent per team on NIL I'd break it down like this:>natty contenders 15-20 million>borderline CFP teams 10-15 million>Average P5 teams 5-10 million>P5 shitters and higher end G5 teams 2-4 million>G5 shitters 1 million or less
>>140200093baylor apparently just got a basketball player from duke who is a good player but not a star for 1.5 mil, I feel like that translates to like 10 million for a great college qb
>you now remember Colt Brennan
>>140200123QB is its own unique situation>most marketable position by far, meaning higher likelihood of getting legitimate NIL deals from companies that aren't affiliated with your team and are expecting ROI as opposed to straight up pay for play from your school's collective (think of Caleb Williams getting deals with Wendys and Nissan and Dr. Pepper, that money wasn't coming out of USC's boosters' pockets)>if you get deals like this you can turn down collective money and let them use that towards upgrading your teammates, which indirectly helps you earn more>your choices are limited because not all teams are looking to change their QB as opposed to certain positions like DL or OT or WR where there are multiple starters and every team can make room for the right transfer, so that keeps your options and price down a bit>ultimately you need to play to maximize both your NIL and your NFL potential so if the choice comes down to 1.5 million to be a backup at Alabama or 1 million to be QB1 for Louisville you're better off taking Louisville's offer

>ywn experience another crisp fall Saturday waking up in your gf’s dorm room, spending the morning together cuddling, going tailgating with your bros, watching your team win then having sloppy drunk sex with your gf afterwards
>>140202978Never even experienced having a GF, so the rest can't possibly apply to me. Plus, fuck off with the cuck shit.
>>140186284Texas doesn’t even consider A&M anymore. They fellate themselves over Oklahoma too much. Also>Texas doesn’t consider these rivalsThey don’t but those teams certainly did. UT kinda led on the Raiders too much by creating that traveling trophy then fucking leaving
>>140205246Texas is in denial that A&M is their biggest rival, same way Penn State is in denial that their biggest rival is Pitt. That state fair exhibition game that never plays at each others stadiums and early in the season isn’t the biggest rivalry for either If there is an in-state rival it is always your biggest rival with only exceptions being Ohio State/Michigan and Notre Dame
>>140205748>Texas is in denial that A&M is their rivalThey both are. Texas and A&M threw every “rival” they had away except UT who kept OU. But A&M went full blown “nuh uh LSU is muh real rival”
>tfw no slam pig CFB gf
>>140205748>If there is an in-state rival it is always your biggest rival with only exceptions being Ohio State/Michigan and Notre DameOregon and Washington have in-state rivals but their games against each other are bigger deals than their games against WOSU. This will continue to become even more true as the in-state "rivals" are in a different conference at a lower level. Then there's Georgia, who can't figure out who is their top rival but are sure it's not GT.
>>140207708Boomer Georgia fans would say Auburn is their top rival, under 50s would say Florida is their top rival.
>>140206037A&M is still salty over LSU backing out of their series back in the 90s and getting out of paying the exit fee. The seven overtime game was great, though.
>>140149052Utah owns Utah
Do the actual Mormons that go to Utah, Utah State, & BYU wear the temple garment?
Which school has the hottest cheerleaders?
>>140208472It's not even a competition.
If a lot of the older running QBs played today (Crouch, Robinson, Lynch, etc.), would they be remembered much more than they currently are?
>>140208597They look like they're in their 30s with that makeup
>>140208597Not everyone is into plastic women.
>>140208472NOT Georgia Tech apparently, yikes
>>140200178>>you now remember some garbage system babby
It's official. The NCAA has adopted the two minute warning, in-helmet radios, and sideline tablets for all of FBS. Only one player, likely the quarterback, will have the radio in his helmet. The radio will shutoff when there's fifteen seconds left on the play clock. Each team will be limited to 18 tablets. The helmet of the player with the radio will have a green dot along its centerline.>Also, horse-collar tackles within the tackle box will result in a 15-yard penalty. Previously, no fouls had been called for such tackles within the tackle box.
>>140209514Chang & Brennan ran that Run and Shoot offense to perfection. Perfect QBs for the system.
>>140208372I would imagine some of them do and most do not. Depends on how devout. I knew a mormon and he drank, but not when his parents were in town.
>>140186840Seattle is amazing.
How does Rockstar still exist? Shittiest energy drink
>>140206037I don’t think A&M denies that Texas is their main rival, that’s why they are playing at A&M for the first conference game and it will always be a “protected” matchup as the SEC expands. Neither school is upset about ditching the likes of Baylor, Taco, and whatnot except possibly a handful of octogenarians who remember that one time in 1927 when a game was suspended to lynch a nigger who wandered onto campus or someshit.
>>140211928> Neither school is upset about ditching the likes of Baylor, Taco, and whatnot I didn’t say they were, I said those schools are. Also they cared enough about Tacos to create a traveling trophy together > The tradition of a "traveling trophy" between the two universities began during the 1996 season
>>1402099102 minute warning AND the clock still stops after a 1st down?
>>140197724it isn'tPeople claim the Big Ten uses it as some requirement to join. They don't actually, Big Ten only cares about increasing media value
>>140212092It doesn't change any other existing clock rules.>>140212009Yeah, but this trophy also existed at one time.
You know I like my chicken fried
>>140212354
>>140212339At least the taco and texass one made some sense. That one was retarded from the get go
>>140212384I thank God for my life, for the stars and stripes, may freedom forever fly, let it riiiiiiiing
>>140212339Mildly triggered by the different typefaces used for "UCONN" and "FOOTBALL".
LSU is the “____” of Southern universities.Fill it in
>>140212354Needs a radio in it
>>140158786>Nebraska-Missouri>Oklahoma-Oklahoma StateThis faggot doesn't know football OU - Nebraska is a bigger rivalry than those two.
>>140211596The have the most confusing labelling of any food/drink item too. It's off putting just looking at the cans
>>140212339Where is the trophy?
>>140149052>>140149052I doubt BYU is Utah's favorite, it's gotta be UofU
>>140213087it was just off the top of my head, fren
>>140212009No Longhorn in existence can tell you the name of that trophy or what it looks like. The marketing departments are gonna market, a rivalry is built by students and alumni. Students and alumni of A&M and Texas simply do not give a single fuck about Baylor, Taco, TCU, Houston, etc. They would support Rice in the SEC over any other Texas school.
>>140213342Probably gets nickel and dimed to death outside SLC. Within for sure
>>140212515Nigger
2 minute warning is gayOnly exists to get more commercials
>>140212515Notre Dame media darling
>>140213738lol no they fucking wouldn’t. Nobody gives two shits about Rice get over yourself
>>140213738>They would support Rice in the SEC over any other Texas school.>can’t even fill a stadium >quit giving a shit about athletics years ago
>>140213777
>>140214673>>140214708Proves how little they give a single damn about any other school in Texas.
>>140214798Whatever
>>140214831No one else in Texas provides a boost to TV deals. When the P2 becomes official, there will need to be more private schools in pods for insulation from FOIA requests. Rice and Tulane both have better chances of getting into the SEC than Texas Tech, Baylor, Houston, et al.
>>140214673Rice Stadium is pretty comfy, don't slander them
>>140214860>there will need to be more private schools in pods for insulation from FOIA requests. Rice and Tulane both have better chances of getting into the SEC than Texas Tech, Baylor, HoustonQuite the projection there. You do realize it’s about money and Rice barely behind UNT of all people
>>140214860NTA but no one cares about the education aspect of college anymore so Tulane, who actually has the better shot being a former SEC member, will not even be considered just look at the Ivys and Institutions they have fallen out of favor in sports for decades
>>140214946Used to be but they haven’t taken any proper care for it
>>140214989It is what it is. If Rice will never be a SEC member, then neither will any other Texas school. That's what they're seething about, fucking Rice has a better shot at getting into the SEC than they do. They're bitching about "muh ribal" when no one on Earth considers them a rival of except themselves.
>>140215121>Rice has a better shot at getting into the SEC than they doThey do not. Other Texas teams definitely have a better chance than Rice despite your weird fixation with them
>>140215085I like it there, it has a real old school vibe since there's so much stone
>>140215160Better break out your cocksucking kneepads and pray to God as hard as you can, because it isn't happening without divine intervention.
>>140215266It’s not happening with rice either nerd
>>140212515corn dog
>>140213148UCF claims they don't know what happened to it but it reality they handed it off to some alumni who work for NASA and had it attached to the James Webb Space Telescope to get it far away from Earth.
>>140214860You only need one per conference. Additional private schools do nothing to protect a conference from Sunshine laws. The only reason to have more than own would be if you're worried the only one you have will leave or shut down athletics.
>>140214946JFK destroyed them
>>140215378I thought UConn had it?
>>140215432and look what happened to him
Trailer Park murders are going to rise like crazy when Alabama goes 7-5 this year.
>>1402158472 more weeks
>>140215441>Ahead of the 2016 game, UCF reportedly asked UConn not to bring the trophy out, but Diaco and the Huskies did anyway. After Central Florida won the game, 24-13, the team left the trophy sitting on the sidelines, in the rain.>Since then, no one had seen the trophy. It seemed to disappear, with no one in either athletic department able or willing to provide an answer to what happened to it.>In 2021, someone donated a ConFLiCT trophy — whether it’s real or not is up for debate — to the UCF athletic department. With both programs having departed the American Athletic Conference (UConn now independent and UCF in the Big 12) and no future games between the two scheduled, UCF has held on to it, according to The Athletic. The Knights did, after all, win their last meeting.>UCF brought the trophy to Storrs ahead of the women’s basketball team’s matchup with UConn in the 2022 NCAA Tournament, and posted a photo with it on the Gampel Pavilion floor to social media.Doubt anyone would go through the trouble of making a replica so whoever picked it up after the 2016 game probably got tired of it taking up room in storage and sent it to UCF.

Are there really college football stadiums bigger than Chicago's Soldier Field?
>>140200178RIP
>>140219485Yes, a lot of them>https://www.ncaa.com/news/football/article/2018-07-30/25-biggest-college-football-stadiums-country
>>140219485About two dozen (even more if you count stadiums shared with an NFL and college team).
Happy MSU Scoreboard Day!
>>140208472Toss-up between Arizona State and Florida State>>140208597Everything in Commiefornia has been getting uglier and uglier. Sad desu mang
>>140211516t. Junky
>>140218019Nobody knows if a college QB will be good or not in the pros. It's pure guessing, as even some of the best college QBs have been dogshit.
>>140219485NFL stadiums are smaller than the largest college stadiums.
>>140220429
>>140228551Generally the NFL focuses on maximizing revenue per seat. Colleges have tons of alumni they want to be able to accommodate, plus a bunch of current students who are poorfags, so they have to focus part on the stadium on quantity.
Where do you pirate the spring games? Oklahoma's isn't on surge. It's on ESPN+, is there a place that streams ESPN+? I'm not paying jews.
>>140218019i think he touched on it a little bit I blew through it in 2 minutes but dartfags get boners and that's all he knows how to do. his little flat autism missles are going to get destroyed by disguised underneath coveragesthe balloon dart comparison is the most accurate thing I've heard about him from anyone
>>140218019hes this years designated QB that gets artificially hyped up by the front offices trying to make a different QB fall to them
>>140232626Yes
>>140234938There's a very large chance that all QBs in the draft will be meh anyway. Anyone trading up for one of these is retarded.
Is this going to be the last season of COVID trash boomers playing with their seventh year of eligibility?
>>140237321i think so. i hate to say this but i kinda hope that former Oregon TE gets injured again so he can come back in 2025 for his 10th fucking season of college football lol. last i checked hes now at Miami
>>140237321If you're 25-26 and still playing college football, just go to the UFL instead. You're not getting drafted, and your degree is most likely worthless.
>>140237519fucking memes
>>140237519If this nignog isn't graduating with a PhD or doctorate, he fucked up.
>>140148197this is unironically better than the dogshit 20 team "midwest conference" spanning from coast to coast and "atlantic conference" with bay area teams
>>140237642Generally yes but the 'Under League Division' is an abomination. Troy and Boise State are 2300 miles from each other. Same for Liberty and UNLV. That division is a random grab bag of teams with no real connection to each other.
Lol
>>140238946They're saving the PAC12 logo to sell to Mountain West teams.
>>140148197Can anyone redpill me on this?
>>140239917It's just another random LARP someone made up. It's not something the conferences have any intention of making happen.
>>140238946Is Utah still on copium that the B1G will “save” them
>>140240475Hope springs eternal.
>>140240475It's not just Utah. Every borderline fanbase is huffing massive amounts of copium about how the B1G or the SEC will definitely rapture them soon. On team boards and national boards this offseason I've seen Colorado, Kansas, TCU, Oklahoma State, Texas Tech, Arizona State, Duke, NC State, Virginia Tech and Pitt fans claiming with an awful lot of certainty that their school will be promoted in the near future. It's not just one schizo. Large chunks of their fanbases are convinced the B1G/SEC invitation is on the way. I'm not sure how anyone who watched Oregon and Washington barely get half shares in the B1G can convince themselves ASU has a spot in the B1G but copium is a hell of a drug.Notre Dame, Florida State, North Carolina and Virginia are the only schools that should feel comfortable about having a seat at the table waiting for them. Who knows the exact amount that make the final cut, but schools outside of that bunch shouldn't feel too safe about their future. I can see an ending where schools everyone think are a lock for B1G/SEC like Clemson and Miami land in the Big 12 because the B1G and the SEC stop at 18-20 schools.
>this is OUR year
>It's actually the big-4 now!
>We went 13-0, didn't play a 14th game...
>Go gatus, we gonna beat jawja dis year
>>140245519yeah they did. game 14 was the 63-3 loss to Georgia
>>140245741Never happened. Just look at the rings everyone at FSU got. They show 13-0. Would they engrave that into hundreds of rings if it weren't true?
>>140238946Honesty, it fits them.
>>140243210>Florida State, North Carolina and Virginia are the only schools that should feel comfortable about having a seat at the table waiting for them.That’s highly debatable
>>140245484You now remember when The American tried to make the Power 6 a thing.
