>>142011298Yes. The grass fairies are floating around.
I would honestly find it hilarious if somehow no b1g or sec team made it this year and it was a b12 and acc teams only
>>142011298yup
Dead sport. Not even amateur.

>>142012464The real one>>142012298CWS thread
For me it is the Auburn Tigers, the best college football team.
>>142011431Too bad the expansion was so that more B1G and SEC teams could attend and drive up advertising dollars. The B12 is the new G5 that gets a crumb every now and then and the ACC is about to get raided of all its top talent. Welcome to the P2. The new norf v souf. Civil War 2: Electric Boogaloo.
>>142016419>Welcome to the P2. The new norf v souf. Civil War 2: Electric BoogalooYou just mean Alabama/Georgia/Texas vs Ohio State/MichiganNo one else is worth a damn or has a shot in hell
I like the idea of limiting rosters to 85 and eliminating walk ons. It would help distribute the talent the big teams all hog to the lower teams making them better. Just like when the scholarship limit was reduced from 125 to 85 many years ago.
>>142016488It’s going to be Alabama/LSU/Texas/A&M/Florida/Tennessee/Oklahoma vs Michigan/Ohio/USC/Oregon/Washington/Pedo and then whoever else that is just up against the lowest ranked of the bunch from the B12 or whatever vitamin company the B12 sells their name to.
>>142016265Based Tiger bot
>>142017465Back when they first instituted the 125 scholarship limit, some schools tried to get sneaky by giving out scholarships for other sports to football players. One of the Mississippi teams got busted for doing this because they put some players on swimming scholarships when the school didn't even have a pool, much less a swimming and diving team.
>>142017740It’s cute that you think Chokelahomo will be above .500
This is why you don't run your mouths about recruiting in fucking March. TBF you don't do it in June either, pic related means nothing til NSD, non-rookies realize this. But those SC queers done went and pissed Kirby off, they try to poach all our players from the portal, have that gay hashtag #DawgWork on twitter, trying to poach our QB recruit away, Lil Lincoln has been obsessed with UGA (while not wanting to play the SEC that is) since that Rose Bowl L he took. Even the recruits say "they won't stop talking about Georgia, so I'm going to go to the place they won't stop talking about." Fitting. Reap what you sow. Stick to Cali & Hawaii, bums.
Who will be the first coach to get fired for not winning a national championship because getting his team to the playoffs isn't good enough?

>>142021674Even as a contrarian asshole, I can't find anything to disagree with. Day and DeBoer have the highest expectations from their fan bases. It would be fun to watch both teams go through four or five coaches as their programs decline with each one.

>>142030825Texas is going to have to learn very quickly that no one in the SEC is going to walk on eggshells around them and if everyone knows things that easily trigger Texas, it's going to be exploited over and over again until either they develop thicker skin or rage quit the conference. In the SEC, Horns Down is no more of a penalty than doing the Gator Chop.

>>142035223Good enough to make the playoff.
Now that conferences have grown large and most have done away with divisions, for many teams winning any kind of championship will be very rare. Will college football teams start putting up signs in their stadiums touting playoff appearances like the basketball teams do with the NCAA Tournament?
Who the fuck made this list?
>>142043065>Alabama>Memorial StadiumWhen did they change the name? And for the size of that stadium and the impulsiveness of the gumps there, it's not all that intimidating. Top 25? Sure. Second? No way.
>>142043065No Big Ten stadium besides "Autzen" and Beaver deserves to be in the top 50
>>142044195>When did they change the name?They didn't. The graphic maker was an idiot> And for the size of that stadium and the impulsiveness of the gumps there, it's not all that intimidatingIt's not even the most important stadium in Alabama history.

>>142047260a divegrass thread died for this
>>142043065ATM being ranked the toughest place to play seems silly considering how many home games they've lost in recent years. It's loud and a cool college football atmosphere, but it hasn't exactly been a killer challenge for opposing teams.As a fan of an SEC school, I consider LSU and Auburn to be the two toughest places to play in the conference, all else being equal. When they have good teams, those are really hostile environments. Even when they're mediocre, you still feel like it's going to be tough to go into those venues and get a W.But for the most part, the "toughest places to play" are just the stadiums that are home to the best teams. UGA and Bama have been pretty impossible beat at home in recent years, but that's mainly because their teams have been great. Pre-Kirby and pre-Saban, their stadiums weren't nearly as intimidating for opponents. On the flip side, the Swamp was a really scary place as a visitor when Spurrier and Meyer were on the sidelines. Not so much lately.
>>142047826Well of course good teams are hard to beat at homeI feel like this list should have one category and that's simply "Is your left tackle gonna jump early?"And I can't see anyone doing that at Kyle Field
>>142046966No, the problem is he's not allowed to bankrupt. The judge is forcing him to pay the legal settlement against him. He can't get out of it by claiming bankruptcy. Imagine if he doesn't make the NFL and ends up playing in the CFL for six figures, most of which goes to make payments on his judgement.
>>142043065Utah won a handful of games against Oregon/USC the last few years because the crowd was so loud
>>142048018>Well of course good teams are hard to beat at homeI know that seems like an obvious statement, but I guess the point I'm making is that I don't see a lot of difference in "home field advantages" when comparing different schools. If you've got a great team, you'll have a great home-field advantage. If you're mediocre or bad, you won't, no matter how "tough" your venue supposedly is.Like I said, I do think there are some places (LSU and Auburn being the two examples I gave) that all else being equal are a bit tougher than other venues.
>>142048392Wonder how in-helmet communications will impact this. Will the speaker be loud enough to be heard over the crowd noise? And since it's just one player, likely the QB, he still has to be able to communicate with the rest of the team on the field. As far as I know, the NCAA isn't stopping sideline signals, so those probably will still have a place in the game, especially in loud environments. And of course there's always going to be the issue with being able to hear the snap count.
>>142042281Somebody will do it and depending on the level of mockery they receive, others will follow or avoid it. Who is the first to do it might be what really matters. A G5 with a Cinderella run? Probably a positive reaction. Alabama loses in the first round to Liberty and tries to put up a banner? Ridicule galore.
>>142048405There's others like Lane Stadium and Clemson's i think have gotten shafted here
>>142043065Michigan has a huge crowd but the stadium design de-emphasizes that advantage. Noise escapes easily and the gentle slope of the bowl keeps most fans too far away from the action to matter. Perhaps closing the ends with giant video boards or adding a shade awning over the seating areas would change some of this but as it exists now, it's a whole lot of meh.

>>142053950Clemson was really loud when I saw Auburn there in 2017.>>142047826Auburn fans are only loud if they’re good or if they’re playing a rival. Pretty quiet otherwise.
>>142043065https://archive ph /z00RfGod I hate journalists
>>142064943They don't worry about it. Even cheap toy radios for children have built in encryption. It's a vendor detail end users don't worry about any more than you worry about someone with a ham radio listening in on your cell phone.>>142067622Most stadiums when you get about half way up add another tier or deck instead of continuing to spread outwards. That creates a wall and pushes people in the deck closer to the field than they would in a pure bowl like Michigan's. Since you're higher up, it's a different angle and you see more of the field at once, letting you see plays develop better. Even if the deck sits behind the lower deck instead of above it, it's still better at trapping in noise.But even with a bowl, you can start to making the seating steeper the deeper you go but Michigan chose to keep things a pretty gentle slop, relatively speaking. >>142066466I prefer to call them monstrosities.
>>142066466That’s a Texan. Get it right.
>>142043065It’s a list advertising a product so it needs to be controversial and a total lie. They can’t tell the truth because they’d piss off fans like OSU and Wisconsin but they still have to make it talked about so they don’t put an obvious one up top like LSU. Like pretty much everything created and shit out on social media today it’s not created genuinely, it’s made to get you to say something about it even if it’s “look at these retards.” The two angriest stadiums are LSU and Tennessee then there’s everyone else.
>>142070987>TennesseeLmao no fucking way
>>142071380Neyland has a damn good atmosphere when a big name comes to town. That Baker Mayfield 2OT night game in 2015 is a great example.

>>142070987Ryan Holiday in his book 'Trust Me, I'm Lying' (2012) goes over a lot of that. He built the American Apparel brand from almost nothing to being the top hipster brand of its day. He admits to using lots of intentional mistakes for attention, one of the most famous being using an image of the Space Shuttle Challenger exploding labeled as Fourth of July fireworks during their Independence Day sale. People were outraged by the "mistake", the company apologized, blaming it on an intern too young to recognize that explosion, and their name got all over the place. But it wasn't an accident, it was by design.You see it a lot now on sports shows on YouTube, where the thumbnail image will have something provocative that ends up not matching the content in the show itself. Things like "This Week's Top Ten" with the AP #5 team listed first and a five loss G5 team included at #10, appear in the thumbnail, people think "Bullshit! Who is this moron?" and then click on the video to tell him off, but then in the video itself, his top ten is pretty close to what the poll voters have.

>>142084261The AD at Texas was the AD at TCU, wouldn’t be shocked if he covered his ass at TCU for something or other since reports are that they are real close friends.

>>142089592They're not even getting dollars out of this due to their partial shares, it's just because they'd rather be affiliated with ACC schools than Big 12 schools.

>>142089894Which is funny as the ACC has a good number of religious schools (SMU, Boston College, Wake Forest, Duke) and land grant schools (Clemson, Virginia Tech, North Carolina State). Maybe Cal is ok with the land grant schools as they too are technically one of them. Some of the religious schools are mostly secular now but still have it as part of their identity, which is like making a vampire smell garlic bread.

>>142087074because they know somewhere out there in the shadows, jim-bob is ready to club them with a sack of nickels for calling something a forward pass.
>>142097190The Pac 12 also had land grants (Arizona, Oregon State, Washington State) but they were offset by schools like UCLA, USC and Washington. Those 3 plus Calford make for a pretty respectable academic reputation even if you still have a few academic shitters along for the ride. But the Big 12 doesn't have anybody even close to that level while the ACC at least has North Carolina, Virginia, Duke and Georgia Tech. Miami, Boston College, Pitt and Wake Forest are all academically respectable too.
>>142097190Calford are okay with the ACC because with the exceptions of Clemson, NC State and Louisville the ACC is by far the best academic conference and they sponsor a ton of sports that the Big 12 doesn't. Culturally Calford fit in best with the ACC, just the whole west coast thing.

>>142098775What's funny is that even the PAC-12's land grants and lower tier schools (UO, UA, ASU, OSU, WSU) would still be in the middle to top of the Big 12. They were definitely a top 3 academic conference, right up there with the B1G and ACC
>>142100699The chattel has been getting uppity, so I suppose so in some way that is tangential to the subject at hand.
>>142100773WSU is shit tier, lets not act like it isn't
>>142100773Oregon and Arizona would automatically be at the top of the big 12
>>142100927>>142100931If we go by USNWR rankings (not the end all be all, of course), the Big 12 averages at rank 137. The lowest pac 12 schools, OSU and WSU, rank at 142 and 178, respectively, which is slightly below average for OSU and 4th from the bottom for WSU. For the worst two members of the PAC, that's not terrible.
It will continue.

https://okstate.com/news/2024/6/26/cowboy-football-sold-out-oklahoma-state-football-sells-out-season-tickets-for-2024I’m so confused, I thought that Okie State only sold games because Sooner and Longhorn fans want to see their teams play close by and not that they had zero effect?
>>142105462That was the case. Now that Okie State fans don't have to endure those annual beat downs and have something to play for in their new powder puff league, they're interested in buying tickets.
>>142075273
>>142105829Ouch!
>>142105462Oklahoma State only ever forced you to buy season tickets to go to the Bedlam games in Stillwater, no? Being reminded of that every 15 seconds by OU fans on twitter is likely what caused them to finally sell their full allotment of season tickets the last two seasons. Boomers can only hear so much shit talk before they throw their wallet at something to make it go away. Chalk it up to ego preservation, secretly lowering the total season tickets available so they can have a few good headlines(selling out the tickets has only happened the last two seasons), people wanting to see them play the new teams in the conference, them having a preseason heisman hopeful at RB, etc. pick your poison. There are multiple variables at play, and being a little brother out to prove himself cannot be left off the table.
>>142105333That's mostly from playing Georgia Tech in Ireland. I don't know if the ACC forced that on FSU or if they had a choice in it. Their road games are SMU, Duke, Miami and Notre Dame.
>>142087747lmao
>>142111773Cultural hysteria is a funny thing. If that same trivia question popped up this coming season instead of last, it probably would get zero attention as those who freaked out over it are currently being attacked by their own golems.

>>142111951
>>142022740I unironically believe in Matt Rhule. The team last season reminded me of a rougher, less talented 2016 UGA (first season with Smart). You could see the improvements in physicality and toughness.
>>142113381Doesn't matter. They'll still push that narrative even though they can't point to any other conference with so many different schools with natties in the title game era.
>>142098026SMU separated from the church because the church didn't want them to have the Bush Library
>>142113781Officially it was over LGBTQ shit and the church's stance on it. Pretty sure the church had nothing to do with any of the workings of the university for decades by that point, though. They don't even bother with the school of theology all that much.
>>142087442>Ryan Day's tOSU>#2LOL
>>142113519Those improvements don't matter if they're going to keep choking games away and snatching defeat from the jaws of victory just like Frost's teams did, which happened all season.
>>142115199I wouldn’t be surprised if Chip Kelly and Coach Lock completely refocus the offensive scheme to resemble Michigan last year. Less emphasis on passing and more on a strong O line supporting Henderson and Judkins. It probably won’t look like Day’s Buckeyes looked the past few years.

The Big 12 is announcing next season's opponent draws for men's and women's basketball today. They're playing 20 conference games. 5 opponents home and away, 5 home only, 5 away only.
>>142115373It's not the same though. Frost's teams constantly choked because they had zero physicality and Frost was a G5baby
>>142119135I would assume not. If the men don't, the women don't.

Is the SEC doomed to become an irrelevant regional conference now that we're in the age of national conferences?
>>142125199Almost every natty since 2005 has come from states where the SEC has teams. It’s rational but it happens to be the only region that matters.
>>142119625
Is this a fair comparison?
>>142125199The SEC is special in that every one of its members (aside from Vandy) lives and dies for SEC football. Half the members of the b1g actually care about college football, only like 4 acc members care, and the big 12 is a g5++ so their relevance is limited regardless.
>>142125199Considering the two texas schools in the SEC are worth more than every other texas school in other conferences combined, probably not.
>>142125199Multiple SEC teams have normie friendly national brands. Ask yourself how many random YouTubers, fighters, celebrities, etc. not affiliated with the university casually wear UM or OSU gear. I’ve seen it happen pretty often for bama, OU, and Texas. USC and Notre Dame are the only other schools that seem to have that casual national fanbase.

>>142139219If Trump wins, yeah. Probably not otherwise.
>>142136542I was bored. I went, it was lame. The lady I assumed would've quit by now is still working there and she brought over the manager to talk about the last time I was there (which was a year ago) and how rude I was. Asked if he was the manager, he said yeah, said she propositioned me for sex for money after I came back from taking a piss and I called her a fat cow over it and a bitch for doing it while I was there with my girlfriend PLUS her coworkers told me she did that shit with a bunch of other former regulars and ran them off. Asked if it was cool if I get a to-go order of wings and a beer or two and be on my way. It was awkward after that.The debate was just on one TV and it was trivia night. I hate trivia night.

What is your prediction, on the dust settles? One super conference, two super conferences, a return to regionalism? A split between an nfl-lite and a true amateur CFB league?
>>142150300>return to regionalismThis will inevitably occur if the Super conferences come to exist
>>142150300B1G and SEC stop around 20-24 teams each. They're the clear top conferences. Big 12 is also 20-24 teams and the best of the rest. ACC is made up of the teams that can't get a life raft to a better conference (Boston College, Syracuse, Wake Forest, Georgia Tech, SMU, Oregon State, Washington State, maybe Calford depending if the B1G invites them) plus the best available G5 teams.>B1G/SEC>power gap>Big 12>power gap>ACC>slight power gap>G5All said it's a much better ending for your Clones than you were initially looking at when the Pac 16 was rumored and again when Texas/Oklahoma left for the SEC.
>>142150452>>142150743Do bottom feeders in the B1G/SEC conferences eventually get cut or forced to an unequal revenue sharing. The original member, brotherhood ties can only resist the $ for so long. Appreciate the optimism for the Clones. I can't imagine we get left behind (sorry beaver and cougar bros).
Can Colorado pull this off? Can they actually beat North Dakota State? Keep in mind NDSU changed coaches so they might be less prepared than usual.>>142150293It's now the PAC-One-Two, as in counting off its members.
>>142150973who would get knocked out of the B10?>purdue and indiana>northwestern and illinois (may be saved by needing Chicago TV market, but one would probably have to go>rutgers (same thing with the NY market)>nebraska?>maryland?>michigan state? (redundant with michigan)>dare I say... Iowa?purdue is the only one i could say for sure would be booted
I'm thinking this will be Rice's year
>>142149538Eh. I have other places to go that are much better, I just got lazy. Next time I go out I’ll go the extra 20 minutes to the better place.
>>142150973I don’t think the SEC will move to that model based on historical issues that causes and the veneer of the “P2” implying that these are the best teams in the nation and the addition of all the teams that demanded (and got in some cases like Oklahoma, A&M, and Texas) unequal revenue sharing in a conference filled with teams that would demand unequal sharing also in lesser conferences.
>>142150973Top dogs need conference wins; money is a relative thing. The SEC has no reason to cut Vandy and Mississippi State as long as the Big Ten keeps around Rutgers and Iowa. Money is ultimately about being able to compete with each other. So long as they both have roughly equal amounts of drag at the bottom, neither gets an edge over the other.If one of them were to drop the dead weight, they know the other one would do so too, negating whatever advantage they thought they were going to gain. Schools like Texas and FSU have pushed for unequal shares of the pie because their conferences have more dead weight than the P2. Texas solved this problem by joining the SEC, and FSU would like the ability to do so too.
>>142151065North Korea imposes a no-fly zone over the US, enforced by their orbital ion cannons. Everyone has to return to travel by bus or train. The Big Ten contracts back to pic related.
>>142150973I could see an "eat what you kill" unequal revenue sharing model in the B1G and the SEC. It would be easy to argue CFP/March Madness money should mostly go towards the teams earning it instead of the noncompetitive shitters. The Big 12 might adopt that too to help their top programs get closer to B1G/SEC revenue. Shitters don't have a leg to stand on complaining this is unfair because it's merit-based and they can always get good if they don't like it.TV revenue won't be unevenly shared until conferences sign streaming-centric deals. Ohio State isn't going to agree to the same cut as Rutgers if they're bringing in 10x more subscribers than Rutgers for the conference's streaming package, especially if there are bonus payouts to the conference for reaching certain subscriber milestones.
>>142151194Texas had unequal shares in the Big 12 since its inception. Nebraska, Oklahoma, A&M, and Texas each had larger shares than everyone else in the Big 12.
Schools already have been running out of ways to spend money on football. There's only so many video screens you can cram into the locker rooms. Schools have added barber shops, recording studios, and even flight simulators, to help recruit players. Much of the overflow now goes into non-revenue sports, which has been great for them but doesn't do much to improve football.Allowing schools to fund NIL directly will open the lid on all of that. Unless an NIL cap of some sort is imposed by law (NCAA can't do it themselves due to court rulings), everyone will fight tooth and nail to get a money advantage over each other. But if there's a cap, things get back to money being a non-issue for big programs who run out of things to spend it on.So the fate of the P2 shitters lies with Congress. If they put a cap on NIL, the shitters can stay. Without a cap, expect to see the haves dispose of the have-nots as quickly as they can.
>>142151385There are zero reasons that anyone in these threads have provided that presents a reasonable argument for dismissing the have nots. >more moneyOk, but who are you going to replace the have nots with? The rest of the haves are already trying to jump ship to the P2, any remaining haves in conferences besides the ACC have already been poached. There's no one left to get. If you shed teams like Vanderbilt, which you shouldn't do because of the boost it generates in other sports (like baseball which was big thing in the post-season) and academics (which satisfies the people who care about that shit), who are you going to replace them with? There's no one left who provides any sort of reasonable, tangible boost to the overall brand that is worth the hassle it would be to get rid of a conference member.
>>142152106The Premiere Super League believers would say you don't replace them. You merge into the P1, which is all the top brands. I guess that might work if the P1 still played the G9 (or whatever number of non super conferences existed) but how long would that last? The P1 Super League brands would eventually end up with their own pecking order, at which point do the top five brands break away from the other fifteen or so brands that aren't pulling the same weight?The Super League just doesn't make sense unless it leads to more wins and championships. If it were about money just for the sake of money and not how that money enables wins and championships, everyone would be fighting over recruiting the students who are the best investment fund managers in simulations.
>>142151232i like itpenn state was better as an independent anyway
>>142152515Pedos go to the Big East and equalize The conferences. Conference alignment never happens
>>142152710If that kept the ACC from stabbing the Big East in the back, the front, the side, the head, the anus, and everywhere else, we might have ended up in a very different world.
Do you think the PAC could break off part of the top MW teams for cheap if they have some form of scheduling agreement with the bottom ones somehow?
>>142152416There won’t be a P1 because it’s simply not as marketable as the P2’s natural rivalry betwixt norf and souf. The audience isn’t going to go for it. >BUT THEY WENT FOR THE P2They went for the teams they like watching being in conferences that matter. The teams in the P2 that would get “promoted” to the P1 are not sufficient enough to provide a national product. You aren’t going to have just one conference of less than 34 teams and there aren’t 34 teams that make sense to be in a P1 instead of a P2 with and expanded playoff.
You know I like my chicken fried
>>142153237It's mostly G5 shitters pushing conversation about a super conference. They're trying to get the bottom dwellers of the P2, plus the ACC/B12 schools on their side against the P2 because they're angry that their FCS move up program hasn't magically gained a century of built up respect. In their perfect world, all the money would go into one pot, which would be evenly divided up between all the FBS programs.
>Vanderbilt is complete dog shit and doesn't belong in the SEC. >Why can't we take their place in the SEC? We deserve it more than they do.>It's not fair we're stuck in Conference USA when a team like Vanderbilt gets to be in the SEC due to a historic accident instead of earning it.>Um, Vandy, you better watch out because the P2 is going to kick you out. They're greedy and don't have your best interest in mind. Luckily Vandy is full of smart people who see through the shit coming from the Middle Tennessee type programs and just ignore it.

The Big 12 should cut off Cincy, WVU, and UCF for being out of the fucking way
>>142119625Why the fuck do we even have a National Team of sport that can only be played very limitedly every year?>>142125199As long as they have ESPN funding them they'll stay as relevant as they can.>>142148491>UtahBold choice>>142150293It feels so wrong looking at that. Oregon, Washington, USC, and UCLA don't get formally admitted into the B1G until August 2nd and also they're still contractually in the Pac12 at this time.
>>142160843good time wasting
>>142160751They probably had to wait until the last of the spring sports ended their post-season playoffs. Now that the College World Series is over, baseball is officially in the inactive period. Even though the PAC12 didn't have any teams in the CWS, until the championship game finished, the sport wasn't inactive.
>>142119625Biden’s America strikes again. We’re losing it, folks. We’re down bad.
>>142160587WVU and TCU were kneejerk additions after Missouri and A&M bolted, but UCF and Cincy getting invited was just pants-on-head retardation. You can kinda justify WVU and TCU is like "alright we need another Texas school that the longhorns can hype up or whatever" but no one in their right mind thinks UCF was a good idea. No one even thinks about Cincy.

>>14216296270 had some stinky shit on his finger that knocked that ball carrier out.
>>142162262WVU was a worse addition than UCF and Cincy lol. Mediocre athletics, mediocre student body size, bad academics, poor area, wasn't close to any other Big 12 school until Cincy, doesn't even have the muh big metro argument of the others.
Wonder how a conference membership draft would go if it started off with four conferences, each seeded with a top rivalry, and then six rounds of drafting teams, with the restriction that you can only pick teams that are closer to your conference headquarters than another conference's headquarters. After six rounds, the distance restriction is removed and you can draft any undrafted school.The four conferencesSouth: Alabama-Auburn (Birmingham)Midwest: Michigan-Ohio State (Indianapolis)Central: Texas-Oklahoma (Dallas)West: Washington-Oregon (Las Vegas)Going to guess the SEC would take Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, LSU, Clemson and FSU. Midwest takes Notre Dame, Penn State, Michigan State, Wisconsin, Nebraska (might be closer to Dallas by a small margin), and Iowa.Central takes Texas A&M, Arkansas, OK State, Taco Tech, Missouri, TCU (or Nebraska depending on which conference HQ is closest to Lincoln)West takes USC, UCLA, Arizona, Arizona State, Utah, StanfordNow that the core eight teams for each conference are set, conferences can draft from anywhere in the country, for however many rounds they want, even quitting at eight members if they wish.
>>142151065>muh tv marketCable is dying senpai and that was the only reason why "muh tv market" mattered since everyone in a market who had cable was paying into the subscription fees for E!SPN, FS1, B1G and SEC Networks whether they watched them or not.
>>142153223Depends on if the MWC charter allows for a simple majority vote to dissolve the conference or not.
>>142151030>Fags still think Colorado is losing to NebraskaFucking lol, and not because Colorado is good but Nebraska is being overhyped as usualThey will win first several and build up hype until they lose in conference play and collapse there

>>142164136>midwest is basically just the b12b12 coping has been pathetic for ages but now it's just boring>>142182511year after next
This sucks sports is over for another two months
>>142168868Your grandma who only wanted 'Home & Gardening Channel' and 'Hallmark Channel' had to pay for ESPN, FS1, etc and if the conference had a team in that state, she also had to pay about 10X as much for that conference's channel versus the cost if there's no team there. This extended into nearby media markets. When the Big Ten added Rutgers, suddenly everyone in the New York City metro area had to pay a monthly toll to the Big Ten, even if they had no interest in any of their sports.With steaming, she can get simpler packages that don't include any sports at all. The genius of the old model was everyone had to pay the ESPN tax, along with the conference taxes. Streaming sets customers free from that.
>NIL allows money schools to drop bags on everyone worth a damn>transfer portal allows them to pick up anyone they missed>realignment means there are only two conferences worth playing in>and now you can have any number of coaches that are paid with PUBLIC fundsI'm so fucking done with this faggot sport
>>142184515Athletic departments at big football schools are self sustaining with their own revenue streams. For example technically Nick Saban was a state employee but his salary was coming entirely out of Alabama's AD, not the state's taxpayers. Don't fall for memes about losing money, they're deliberately designed to spend every penny that comes in so they can keep up the nonprofit grift and beg for more donations.
What did she mean by this?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_1nd2onxR4>>142184515Twenty years from now you'll still be saying you're finished with college football even though you've watched every season between then and today.
Isn't it like 98% commercials?

>>142168868>Aren’t they offering streaming packages now just like cable has?They're not making money, at leas not the massive amounts of shekels cable companies were hauling in ~10 years ago.Disney is actually losing money on their streaming platforms IIRC.
>>142187749Yes, which is why I watch 3-4 games at a time. There are 4 kickoff windows throughout the day (noon, afternoon, evening, late night) so you can have multiple games on for 12+ hours on Saturdays.

>>142183799It's doodoo, but NFL preseason starts at the first of August. At least get to see some guys who went to your favorite college play some type of football for a few weeks before CFB kicks off.
>>142167739I think Nebraska will beat Colorado this year. Matt Rhule is a good coach.
>>142198462I would hope that Nebraska would beat a team that went 4-8 in 2023. Can this program actually do something? They've been the Big Ten's equivalent of West Virginia ever since they added them. Massive buyers remorse. At least Rutgers and Maryland were never expected to do anything more than give OSU/PSU/Mich recruits in NYC/DC and a free annual W. The conference gifted Nebraska the worlds easiest division for 10 years and they didn't win it once. They literally stacked the East and said "Here you go Nebraska, just beat Iowa / Wisconsin" and they couldn't.
>>142198166Those are built in shitposting breaks
>>142198462If they can't beat Colorado this year then they can't ever win a meaningful game ever again.
>incels here think Colorado won't have a top 10 finishLol. Lmao even.

>>142203489I’ll laugh to no end if Utah shows up, wins the conference easily, then just keeps winning the conference over and over then eventually demands unequal shares and kicks off another round of realignment.
>>142204551Nobody will own the Big 12 in a Bamawinslol kind of way. There could legitimately be 10 different schools that win the next 10 Big 12 titles. Utah's hopes and dreams this year rest on their boomer QB not being too rusty or a shell of himself after recovering from a major injury. If Rising's mobility is gone due to that knee injury his effectiveness drops a lot. Long term, Whittingham is close to retirement and it's unlikely his replacement will be as good or better.
>>142204876Bamawinslol situation would be the same as it was earlier. Texas/Oklahoma wins lmao to the point where there will be one or two highlights and that’s that. There’s no ass to mouth left that people care about. It won’t be Texas Tech since Mike Leach was the only reason people liked them and the Curse is in effect
