the issues I see are
1. "pe" will want dumb shit to make money (like stated just below my first post).....all type of crass/stupid shit that is anything to bring in another dollar
2. I think there is a thought that they will negotiate better, but I cannot see ESPN or anyone else giving a shit that private equity is suddenly at the table negotiating....in fact I can see them saying fuck off here is a low ball offer take it or leave it we control the channels
3. I think this is where private equity thinks they will have the upper hand.....they will try and go to an all streaming model and get some cheap ass streaming company with little overhead (or create their own) and "go directly to market"......but of course there will be quality issues.....there is the issue that a large % of the USA still has shit quality internet that does not support high quality video streaming, internet companies are not going to give a shit about catering to them
you also run into the no more "cramming" aspect of selling your produce....ESPN and the rest still make a shit tonne of money off of forced subscriptions to people that do not give a shit about college football or conference networks
4. the last part of the above is also the issue with "super conferences".....people do not give a shit about UH because they live in Houston.....(or in general)....that is not their "home town team" like with pro sports......people do not give up on their college team because they move to a city with another team or teams....in a few places (Arkansas, Louisiana, and maybe a couple of others) people do go crazy for the "state team", but it is not like 75% of the people in Texas, 50% in Oklahoma, 50% in Arkansas, and 25% in AZ being Cowboys fans.....and making the super conference will not change that and it will probably turn a lot of fans off from that
5. relegation will never work because of the long term scheduling issues, the massive issues that creates for fans and their scheduling to see a road game, and the overall issue of so many teams to move around each year and trying to make their new schedules on short notice.....plus the TV aspect with conferences having different media contracts.....that is a pro sports concept and belongs on the trash heap for college sports
6. if there was big new money still out there either the current (shit bag) media partners would be after it or conferences need to stop hiring dick heads for conference commissioners and hire someone that actually knows how to get that money for the conference instead of scraps up front for the conference and the meat for "pe".....tennis larry for the PAC 12 tried, but he was not good enough, could not fully sell it, was more interested in being a network executive, and the PAC 12 was scared to do things that the other conferences might look down or or that might have made the PAC 12 look like they gave a shit about sports instead of being so cheap with sports until they realized they were not competing and chased the money to the point that most of them are totally fucked

I love all these stupid people that think that "private equity" comes in with newly found free money and everyone they deal with makes lots more money
when in reality they pay up front money for a large stake in something that will give PRIVATE EQUITY a large return on their money while those that deal with them give up a lot more over the long term than they receive in the short term
worse yet I am really not even sure how this deal can work out since you are dealing with public universities in multiple states that may well have vastly different control mechanisms and laws over their public universities and a couple of private universities mixed in as well that may well have rules in their charter that prevent selling off parts of their assets
the ONLY way this will work out in the favor of any program in the Big 10 (much less all of them) is if the TV and other media values of the Big 10 eat shit in the next contract and "pe" does not have a mechanism to protect their rates of return on investment.....that does have a possibility of happening, but I think it would still be as bad or worse for the Big 10 members vs. what they would get without "pe"

probably likely. franklin has the luxury of time on his side. wait for norvell or belichik to get the boot. maybe even take over for fickell at wiscy , outside chance at MSU depending on how much he wants to try and put a dagger into penn state
Manny Diaz was the DC at Miami, left to be HC at Temple. Richt decides to hang it up and retire, and Manny went back to Miami as HC. Undefeated 2 week tenure for the ages.
thanks for the reminder I thought it had happened before, but I could not remember when......probably because it was Manny

busting shit up to throw away is not nearly as fun when you are an adult as it is when you are a kid

maybe this year we finally get a coaching incident like mens bb where a coach gets hired at one place and then a week later ditches them and goes elsewhere.....that would be really fun

Are you familiar with who carville is? I'm sure he knows and the firm he hired knows what they are doing.
I am familiar with the fact that he seems to be losing his mind lately and going off the rails as he becomes less relevant in his prior endeavors

What on Earth is going on down there?
this law firm is about to find out what getting eaten up and shitted out by corrupt Louisiana bullshit is all about
they will be lucky of some of their attorneys don't get face fucked in court

this will sound crazy but hear me out
what about a guy with "NFL bonafides" to come in and be a GM type, but also to put the systems in place and then get the coordinators in there that can do the real coaching
he would also work the NIL deals and show off his ability to prep players for the NFL
if a school would be innovative enough to go in that direction I think that really makes their search easy and down to one guy

Discuss the jobs? Which is best?
I mean blow u might be the best job if you’re picking up what I’m laying down.
are you saying that Charles Thompson is in charge of recruiting now and that the NIL allows for unlimited 8 balls?

LSU won a NC with a guy that fucking eats grass and with another guy that just does not give a fuck and eats ass
the talent pool in Louisiana is un fucking real especially for a small state......people there do not give a shit about any other teams even if they do.....they still give a shit about LSU as much or more
Louisiana is used to fucked up bullshit from top to bottom no matter what is it.....if you are doing anything right there you are going to get fucked or run off or both because they will think you are a complete fuck head and a chump
Texas should be a better job, but expectations that come with the expectation of doing shit that is not embarrassing while still dealing with meddling ass hats that get in big swinging dick pissing contest makes shit hard
where things stand between Georgia and Texas will depend on how things go when UGA has to fire someone for not performing or do they just let it go for a long long time like Mark Richt only in this case it could be a lot harder it it gets like that because the current guy has won it all twice not just "come -><- this close"
aggy should be a top job, but they are just fucking stupid and hire shitty ADs and College Station is too boring compared to the competition
penn state fucking sucks they made their way on being in a shitty over rated Big 10 and never dis shit in recent history.....I mean for fucks sake Indiana is #2 and their big wins are over another massive overrated Big 10 corn state team, and Oregon that has big wins over.....well fucking no one because penn state gobbles cocks and the rest of their schedule gobbles more cocks than Bob Stoops
