I just don't understand how these chuckle fucks can't figure it out.

Relegation model for football with no notion of conferences at all.

Regional conferences for the remaining sports to mitigate mid week travel absurdity.

Tell the NCAA to fuck straight off.... THE END

Because relegation model for college football and basketball is completely fucking stupid. You relegation nerds are the worst in all this.

Exactly.

Oh and go back to the BCS formula to select the CFP.  It sucked at picking out the 2 vs 3 but now that it has a field of 12 to work with anyone crying because they came in 12th (the 12th seed will be lower almost every year) really doesn't have much of a leg to stand on.

Aside from this year the CFP committee and BCS formula chose the same 4 teams every year of the 4 team playoff. If it were BCS formula this year we wouldn’t have got in.

This and that, fer sher. Lotta ins, lotta outs, lotta what-have-yous. Bird law, my friend, bird law.

When the eventual "super conference" is broken up into divisions that pretty much mirror the conferences circa 2015 all of the characters involved in the implosion of the Pac 12 should be summarily executed.  Kliavkoff and Larry Scott really deserve it based on their complete ineptitude of the last 2 decades.

I said in the other thread that we have been waiting on this since last summer.

First matter of order is to regulate the NIL management of non B1G and SEC members...

So now we can assume that this was the plan all along, and step 1 was get the rest of the major players into these two groups, and Texas and the others knew the entire plan the whole time?

 

Yep, it begins. Purdue? Rutgers? South Carolina? GTFO.

I highly doubt any existing Big 10 or SEC school is going to be forced out, no matter how small they are. 

Yeah, they will, because LEEECHESS!!!

Interview with the two commissioners

https://sports.yahoo.com/sec-big-ten-uniting-to-tackle-pervasive-issues-in-college-athletics--pressures-are-mounting-172832810.html

Two key quotes from that article:

 

"The joint advisory board is tasked with tackling the most pressing challenges before the industry in what Big Ten and SEC commissioners describe as an “urgent” mission to find solutions for issues such as ongoing antitrust lawsuits, most notably the multi-billion dollar House case; disagreements over the NCAA’s new governance proposal, Project DI; and the unsettled landscape of athlete transfer movement, tampering charges and name, image and likeness (NIL) inducements....

 

Settling on an acceptable athlete compensation model is perhaps the most pressing issue before the Big Ten and SEC’s advisory group, as well as the other FBS leagues. A new model could rectify both the House v. NCAA antitrust case and the current landscape of college football and basketball recruiting — a space which coaches and administrators describe as a pay-for-play, unregulated free agent marketplace...."

This talk and future talk needs its own thread as this may be the super league and not really conference realignment. But rather collegiate sports as a whole. 

Yeah this is the next end game.     It won't be the top 18 brands on their own, or relegation, but the top 60 some schools will break out to become the next version of the NCAA, for football at least, under the CFP money umbrella.    

My guess is the first step is sharing the same set of rules for the sport, players, NIL, etc, but the holy grail will be moving to a full NFL model of media contracts, where all of the schools involved pool broadcast inventory together for the regular season and playoffs.    If you think the jump the B1G did in how they structured their last deal was large, leveraging them all together would create a juggernaut that would likely increase media valuations 5-10x over todays.

But before you get there, you need to show you can operate together as a cohesive unit.

Even in the The Big Two conferences, there are many, many schools that are just glad to be a “current” member and don’t bring anything but association of conference membership. Those that are just receiving, but not “contributing” to the desired goal will eventually be weeded out when they finalize the goal of a system of the Top 24, 36, or 48, whichever amount it will be finalized to.

This will happen, IMO, prior to 2030. Looking at you too aggy, as you are currently irrelevant!

Hook’em!!!

Well I’m sure nobody saw this coming. Hell, the BigSEC should just replace the ncaa with Surly posters, y’all have  been way ahead of the process.

As long as this doesn't affect the release of NCAA Football 24, I'm good.

This has got to be an awkward moment for some of them.  Actual, credentialed academic leaders from Wisconsin, Northwestern, Michigan, et. al. having to sit with dipshits from Tennessee, South Carolina, and Alabama.  Some of those SEC schools have leadership that can barely read.  Meantime, the leading research public Ivies have to make nice with them to achieve some monetary gains?  Whew...

currently?

If this spells the end of the buy a win games that’s good for competition but probably very bad for the little schools that need those millions to operate their AD.

The SEC leaders shouldn't bring their wives and children to the meetings because the B10 schools have plenty of rapists and child molestors.

This will help fix the money problems being experienced by the Sec and B1g.

Getting things lined up until the money makes sense to kill the acc and bring their valued properties onboard.

That's more or less exactly what this group is, I think.

I am picturing a meeting between Baylor and Penn State.  With a very uncomfortable exchange of photographs.

The new game is just called EA College Football. I can’t remember exactly if there is any relationship between the game and the NCAA at all like in the past and how much that changes the presentation.
