Espn will still bid for the rights, there will also be the my dick(fox) is as big or bigger than your dick(ESPN) action going on. Fox will not want to feel like it’s getting left behind in cfb rights and won’t let it’s number 1 college property suffer. Then there’s the streaming service threat, b1g will do just fine. It’s the other non sec and b1g leagues that are super fucked.
It was sort of fun before but now it's like watching your favorite car destroyed in a demolition derby.
It just seems stupid and it's solely for greed, nothing really about making it better or more enjoyable
The media rights would be lower but the football quality in that hypothetical 20 team merged conference would be pretty good
P5/G5 distinction really doesn't mean a whole lot with the new CFP format. It's just a straight money grab now re. capturing markets.
That's the worst part. There's enough money in it for everyone to make a nice living, but the ones at the top just want more and more and more.
Fucking Texas, the most overrated, underachieving school in college football history, is going to destroy college football.
And we thought they were just a cancer to their conference. Turns out they are a cancer to all conference and CFB as a whole
I figured SEC would stand pat at 16, at least for 5-10 years. Homeboard thinks more additions are imminent, moving to 18 or 20 teams now. What say you
You’re not getting anyone from the ACC, so unless some Big Ten teams go rogue, no idea who you could add.
money and espn destroyed college football, Texas is just the face of it because they’re the biggest brand left to move
if you don’t hear anything in the next month it’s because it’s not happening, not because I’m completely making all of this up. If it does happen, you heard it here first
All these teams everywhere (your shit school being one of them) moving from conference to conference. Now Texas does it and it destroys college football. You ladies need to get a hold of yourselves. Texas owes nothing to the rest of the Big 12. There is no reason it should have to stay in a conference solely to prop up the other teams.
like the schools are just playing the game the networks laid out for them to play. don’t get mad at them
Well, we all sat here and enjoyed it along the way didn't we. I don't recall anyone saying "I hate being able to watch every game" or "HD sucks" or "man I hate all these new facilities"
What do you expect? We already established that Texas ruined college football. We are just the first of many victims.
Texas hasn’t propped anything up lmfao. If anything you guys helped usher all this change in quicker because your football program has been absolute dogshit for the last decade and dragged the big 12 down with it. All that money… all those recruits… and nothing to show for it but a pile of losses to TCU, Baylor, OSU and Kstate
At this rate, we're a week away from rumors of Michigan/OSU/PSU/USC/UCLA/ND creating a new conference Actually I'm starting that rumor now
This makes complete sense...considering Texas is leaving the Big 12 and coincidentally the remaining Big 12 schools are going to end up in the AAC. I understand the need to vent. Change is hard, esp when that change leads to some difficult self-reflection. I am here for you. Let is all out.
