Probably true. But ilower tier schools will have proportionately lower expenses too.

The problem for CFB is that they want NFL like money, but don't organize themselves like the NFL. Can imagine if all 32 NFL teams let 6 determine who gets spots in the Playoffs and who gets what share of the revenue? All CFB has done is lock in who the perpetual winners are.

You said "The thing that reinforces the myth of superiority is playing patsies from other conferences, coupled with having winning records. Take away those two things and the SEC and B1G become just another conference that has a couple of good teams." "Conferences", not "schools". So I am...

One of the issues in CFB today is that the money is unequally distributed. It should be that the NCAA, not the conferences, negotiates a media deal and then, distributes the money to all participating schools. They can still leverage their fanbases for support, but that would be a big step to...

The real problem is that all schools are not alike. Like HS, there should be tiers where schools of similar resources can compete against each other. Even within the SEC or B1G, only a handful of teams are good on a consistent basis. Cap FBS at 128 teams, divide into 4 tiers of 32 each and...

Totally agree. If you want parity, cap the roster, limit the size of paid/unpaid staff, etc. But no one has. The NCAA hasn’t helped by basically saying, “Whatever you want, dear”.

The fact that all conferences agreed to let them run it is one pretty big vote.

The SEC also, over the last ten years, signed 155 5 star recruits … 3 times that of the ACC at 52. “Twice during (that) span, SEC schools signed 20 five-star prospects and four other times they signed at least 15. SEC schools signed double-digit five-star guys every year during (that) span —...

No, that’s not what the SEC wants. Sankey wants the best matchups, not any matchups. Play FSU or Clemson? Sure. Syracuse? Not so much. As I understand it, all FBS teams who want to be in the CFP signed that they agreed to lesser money AND that SEC/B1G run it. So they agree too … the SEC/B1G are...

We disagree. Moving on.

Hypothetically. The ACC is going to be around a while. The current litigation is expected to take a few years. But Paul Johnson made the best point. That is, GT is a lot more like a service academy than a typical P5. I think we’d be happier playing Army, Navy, Air Force, ND, and Stanford than...

There was no interest adding A&M either. A&M wanted in. Gene Stallings lobbied hard to get them in. The SEC didn’t pursue either TX or OK. Both approached the SEC and basically begged to get in. Unexpected but … all fit the criteria of what today’s SEC is looking for. The point is, the SEC...

Texas A&M joined the SEC in 2012-2013. Sankey became commissioner in 2015.

SEC Commissioner Sankey has repeatedly said that the SEC has no interest extending itself to the West Coast nor North.

Perhaps. Three games, OSU, Michigan, and Northwestern were decently watched games. No other cracked 1M and many not even half that. I would argue that Rutgers has received far more benefit from joining B1G than B1G did by adding them, but you might as well ask "How many angels dance on the head...

FWIW, Rutgers is spread over multiple campuses, not just New Brunswick. NB is about 60% of the total enrollment. In 2023, Rutgers was watched by 1.15M viewers, according to Nielsen. The number 32 team was Mississippi State at 5M. Rutgers average attendance (2018-2022) was 32,255, a fill rate...

The ACC can’t rollover. This is an existential threat. Three-fourths of ACC presidents voted to file the complaint. Not ADs. School presidents. The GOR exists for one reason: To validate the league interest in creating the ACC Network. ESPN advised against it but said they would make investment...

I don't care about conference vs conference claims of superiority and I think I've been pretty clear why. But no big deal. It's a beautiful day for golf too.

I think this is the first time I have ever read of a moderator of a discussion board complaining about the number of posts to a discussion board. :ROFLMAO:
