  1. Funny how much he doesn’t like Okie State and Stillwater.
  2. I think the NCAA has already been sued and won on this. But maybe there is a new way to attack it, so who knows.
  3. Once Texas and Oklahoma were no longer candidates to join the PAC16 USC was out. There was nothing in this world that could have saved the PAC. Turning down the LHN was the most expensive decision Stanford ever made.
  4. The smaller schools benefit disproportionately from their association with the P4. They make more money because Texas, Michigan, LSU, USC, and Florida St play against them in the post season than they would on their own. This is an agreement that benefits the P4 and encourages them to stay in the current system of the NCAA. If the P4 are going to pay the lion’s share of this settlement then the next logical step is to only pay the nonP4 schools only what they deserve. I applaud their willingness to push back but they better be careful here or they’ll relegate themselves.
  5. Theoretically a court interpretation on Title IX could occur without any new legislation. If sports are self sufficient without any student fees or funding from the university they may be exempt from Title IX. That would also solve the revenue sharing problem too. Only teams that generate revenue share in revenue. Its still a long shot, but a court ruling is more realistic than new legislation.
  6. https://www.espn.com/college-sports/story/_/id/40167617/ncaa-settlement-plan-house-v-ncaa-case-irks-non-power-5-schools Smaller conferences pushing back on House settlement proposal. This was the NCAA’s carrot to the P4 to keep them in the NCAA and the smaller conferences are pushing back.
  7. The cover of the game was literally shot in the real Cotton Bowl. No way in hell they paid for that and didn’t get the rights to put it in the game.
  8. This makes me sad Idaho dropped to FCS. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kibbie_Dome I guess I’ll just have to settle for turning SHSU and their 14,000 seat stadium into the newest powerhouse dynasty.
  9. Interesting…more smoke
  10. Pardoned by Abbott https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2024/05/16/texas-gov-pardon-daniel-perry-murder-black-lives-matter-protestor/73720504007/
  11. Not for UNC. You win and you get zero credit, you lose and you get made fun of. App State is the new Boise St putting P4 programs in a no win situation.
  12. Ole Miss/LSU also play on Texas/OU weekend.
  13. As long as that doesn’t get extended I’d bet good with that if I’m UCLA. You guys going to be required to play them annually OOC?
  14. That dude on the left must be Andre the Giant or something.
  15. 18 games basketball schedule in the SEC. No surprise that the teams we play twice are OU, Arkansas, and aggy. Mild surprise that aggy and OU play twice.
  16. Pleasantly surprised by that. I would have bet good money that Houston was #2 with all the golf ones they won pre2000.
  17. I love these…people said the same about Udub and Wazzu.
  18. Posted by BO&W 1 page back Miami would be #9 in both the SEC/B1G beating out Iowa/Washington and Tennessee/Ole Miss. They’d be #1 in the Big 12.
  19. Assuming if the flood gate opens that there wouldn’t be much left of the ACC. If the Big 12 has the same access and better TV deal spread across ESPN and FOX then why sit and make $10 mil less a year just to hang out with Boston College, Wake Forest, and SMU? SEC - FSU, Clemson, UNC, UVA for 20 B1G - ND, Miami for 20 B12 - Pitt, Louisville, VA Tech, NCSU, Duke, GT, Syracuse, and maybe UConn for 24
  20. I’ll probably just give those tickets away. I think Arizona passed a state law requiring colleges football games in September to be at night for safety reasons. I wish we’d do the same in this state.
  21. Ideally when this is all said and done you’ll see: S tier: SEC and B1G A tier: B12 B tier: PAC(merged with MWC) and ACC (merged with The American) C tier: SBC and MAC D tier: CUSA
  22. CUSA went from the top of the non BCS conferences along with the MWC to now the bottom of all FBS. It was the fall of the Big East and subsequent formation of the American and CUSA’s backfill strategy of copying the Big Ten’s strategy of going after under performing teams in big markets and having a horrible tv deal with Stadium and Facebook. CUSA raided the Sun Belt for FIU, Middle Tennessee, Western Kentucky and LA Tech from the dying WAC; and the teams they did hit on like UNT, UTSA, FAU all got pulled up by the American conference. Sun Belt added App State, Georgia Southern, Georgia State, and Coastal Carolina and made a MACtion style TV deal with ESPN which built a strong football brand and allowed them to pull Marshall, Southern Miss, and ODU from CUSA. As a result CUSA has fallen from 3rd tier to 5th tier, while the Sun Belt has moved up 1 tier from 5th to 4th. No other conference, save the PAC12, has done worse for its membership over the last 2 decades.
  23. UTEP is the only school that’s been FBS the entire time. They’ve got to be asking how they fuck they got themselves into this Frankenstein’s monster of a conference.
