>>142803433Everything hinges on what happens with the FSU-ACC lawsuits. If FSU succeeds in busting open the ACC, the Big 12 likely gets a couple of members from the fallout and the PAC2 absorbs the Mountain West. If FSU and perhaps Clemson find ways to buy their way out of the ACC ***AND*** into the P2 without invalidating any of the ACC's legal agreements, the Big 12 takes the PAC2 teams. If everyone stays in the ACC, the PAC2 absorbs the Mountain West.I don't think Dodd's article is very accurate. The Mountain West has no reason to be in a rush. If they want to go ahead and negotiate their new media deal, they can do so with provisions in it for if they "merge" with the PAC2. There's very few other realignment scenarios involving the Mountain West beyond perhaps Hawaii giving up on football. The PAC2 has a short timeline because they only have two years to resolve their shortage of members. It all rests on FSU and the ACC.

>>142812953It depends on how FSU finds a way to exit. If the GOR is invalidated, there's a chance the conference exit fee could also be invalidated because the conference acted in bad faith and not on behalf of the best interests of the members. If everyone suddenly has a free pass, then it becomes an issue of who is desired by other conferences. Even if the SEC and Big Ten decided to pass on all ACC members, the Big 12 would pursue a bunch, but not all, of them. At that point, maybe the leftovers decide to carry on as a tiny conference, stripped of its autonomy rights. Or maybe they have to merge with a G5.

>>142814887>I was told that Cormani McClain has been late to most of the requirements (meetings, lift, etc…). The way that it’s handled is sort of like a strike system. Essentially, you get a warning, they you have to do extra run/lift… which he’s started to show up late for as well. They started to make the defense and then the rest of the team do these extra lifts thinking that would get Cormani to show up on time and it hasn’t.Based NEET
>Last week, Georgia Bulldogs offensive lineman Bo Hughley was arrested by campus police and charged with reckless driving a day before cops in Athens nailed linebacker Smael Mondon Jr. and cornerback Demello Jones for allegedly engaging in a street race near downtown.According to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, that means a grand total of 24 people with links to the football team have now been implicated in cases involving speeding, street racing, or driving under the influence since recruiting staffer Chandler LeCroy and lineman Devin Willock were killed in a high-speed collision linked to a race that also involved Jalen Carter in the wake of their national championship win in January 2023dawgbros...what's the answer to the reckless driving problem?

>"Schools must provide equal athletic opportunities based on sex, including with respect to benefits, opportunities, publicity, and recruitment, and must not discriminate in the provision of financial aid," Catherine Lhamon, the assistant secretary for the department's Office for Civil Rights, said in a written statement to ESPN. "In the new NIL environment, these same principles apply."LOL, Title IX is going to force schools to make everything semi-pro and disentangle football from the student-athlete model. They can't force NIL to give every girls' lacrosse player $200,000 just because the men on the football team average that much. And if the schools start revenue sharing and the federal government uses Title IX to force proportional profit distribution, at most schools that means the women will get 50% more than the men despite all of their programs being money sinks.>>142816166It's weird when team relocate and keep a name not all that appropriate to the area. The worst is probably the Utah Jazz. The name made sense in New Orleans but Utah has no cultural connection to jazz music. Phoenix is in the range of cardinals but just barely. There are many desert themes they could have gone with but just were too lazy to bother with.
with the new alignments, how can any team get away with playing two FCS schools? That should be automatic disqualification from the playoff.
>>142817028Playing HBCUs has become the go to excuse for scheduling FCS teams. No P2 team should have an FCS school on their schedule unless there was a last minute game cancellation or their name is Vandy. No ACC or Big XII team should have more than one FCS per season, preferably none. I'm fine with G5 schools having multiple FCS teams as long as they don't whine at the end of the season about how they deserve to be ranked higher so they can get an at-large bid.
>>142817005How does all of this help the actual sport of "college football"?
>SEC coordinator of officials John McDaid fielded questions Tuesday at SEC Media Days about the "Horns Down" celebration and whether it will be penalized in 2024, the Texas Longhorns' first season as SEC members. The Big 12 added "Horns Down" as a taunting penalty in its rulebook last season. McDaid said the SEC's approach to the gesture will be more "contextual.">"Unsportsmanlike conduct needs to fit one of three categories: Is it taunting an opponent? Is it making a travesty of the game? Is it otherwise compromising our ability to manage the game?" McDaid said. "There's a difference between a player giving a signal directly in the face of an opponent, as opposed to doing it with teammates celebrating after a touchdown or on the sideline. Every single occurrence is not an act of unsportsmanlike conduct.">McDaid said he ultimately doesn't want officials to insert themselves into the game, and the approach to penalizing "Horns Down" will reflect that.>"We hear all the time, 'we don't want officials factoring into the game, let the two teams decide it,'" McDaid said. "Guess what? You put a flag down for unsportsmanlike conduct, you're moving someone 15 yards. You're giving the offense an automatic first down if it's the defense. That's inserting yourself into the game.">McDaid added that the same applies to players taunting Florida with the "Gator Chomp" and Ole Miss with the "Land Shark" signal.>"We already have some of this in our conference," McDaid said. "We've had opponents down in Gainesville winning and not using the Gator Chomp in a positive manner. As long as it hasn't been directed at an opponent for taunting, we haven't had a problem with it."Guarantee Oklahoma is going to push this newfound freedom into an actual flag.

>>142817005>NIL will be used to pay for othersHow does that make sense? I thought NIL was assigned to individual athletes, not entire teams. Or have I been living under a rock?
>>142817613There's lots of weird fuckery going on with NIL, with money going to collectives that then dole out NIL to athletes. In some cases they give everyone a base amount and then extra to some high value players. There are also instances of particular position groups getting collective NIL money. The NCAA is scared to put much in the way of rules around NIL since they believe they'll just end up in court again and lose. Congress has toyed around with making rules but so far hasn't actually passed anything of consequence. There are a few state laws but those tended to be detrimental rather than helpful so most of them have been repealed.
Would FSU to the Big XII really be a bad thing, especially if they bring Clemson and a couple others with them? FSU was triggered when they found out UCF would get larger conference distributions in the Big XII than the Seminoles in the ACC. At least in the Big XII, they'd get as much as UCF, even if it would be a bit humbling to be in the same conference with them.

Another realignment post. Ignore if you don't like these. In light of the reluctance of the SEC and Big Ten to take FSU or Clemson, let's say they succeed in somehow blowing up the ACC shackles on members. The Big XII takes five teams in the east (FSU, Clempus, VT, Pitt, and plus UConn to make Yormark happy). In the west, they take Cal and Stanford. This leads to three pseudo divisions.West: UA, ASU, UU, BYU, CU, Cal, Stanford, plus San Diego State. Cal is very unhappy but knows it's this or drop down to the Big West. The PAC2 aren't given any consideration.Central: Taco Tech, TCU, Baylor, Houston, Weird Bird Kansas, Slampig Kansas, Iowa State, Okie StateEast: West Virginia, Cincinnati, UCF, FSU, Clempus, Miami, Pitt, UConnThe divisions aren't used for football but for non-revenue sports they're used to lessen travel.That leaves the ACC with BC, Duke, GT, Pooiville, UNC, NC St, Syracuse, UVA, Miami, Wake Forest, SMU. Tulane is added, bringing the the ACC closer to the dream of the Magnolia Conference but the stench of Louisville keeps that from being too serious.Notre Dame's agreement with the ACC is renegotiated and expanded to include the SEC, Big Ten, Big XII, and ACC. Notre Dame will play one home and one away game against a rotation of members of the P4 conferences. This gives Notre Dame eight P4 games. Additionally, outside of this agreement, they still play USC each year. Add in the annual Navy game and ND has ten games settled, leaving two spots for cupcakes or interesting match ups.
>>142817334I hope it becomes highly politicized so at away games the whole crowd does a horns downs and hornsisters get triggered.
>>142820013>uconnThey will take pooieville. cal and stanford are over, they are foreigner schools in a foreign state. Better chance of joining the ivy league. or leading a west coast ivy league in fcs. Or just convert the stadiums to soccer and invite mls teams for the spics and other foreigners.
>>142820221B12 taking Louisville would help the ACC transform into Magnolia. If they were serious about it, they'd need to take Rice but I don't see that happening.
