[QUOTE="CEB, post: 877238, member: 4905"] For a very brief moment this morning I found myself on a sports talk station. They were talking college football and actually weren’t slobbering all over the Dwags, so I stopped to see what they were saying. They were talking NIL, recent Saban / Jimbo / Deion chatter and started talking about Pitt losing Addison to USC. Their position essentially is that it’s all for the good of college football because ALL of college football benefits more from having USC be a contender instead of Pitt. Pitt isn’t set up to be a perennial contender so who cares about them? USC on the other hand has the location, the fan base, the history, etc and all of college football benefits from their success. Set aside the likelihood of either school contending, and just give your thoughts on that notion... Big “Brand” schools being perennial contenders is best for the game (even if it comes at the expense of other programs). Is college football better off? Maybe a distinction without a difference but is college football better when the same 10 or so programs dominate playoff contention / spots annually? Tipping my hand here but I view the “super conference” notion in much the same way... how does college football benefit by openly and intentionally relegating the 90% of D1, including the majority of current P5 programs, to second tier status?
