That's the same number of bankruptcies the excellent business man Cheeto has declared! What a coincidence.
Some of them were casinos. How in the hell do you bankrupt a casino?
He had a system.

not really. she's said it's still on the table. she'll never come out and say anything definitively. the way she's doing it is driving trump nuts and she'll never give that up.
It's basically required to keep the CNN droolers from doing something rash, such as, most of what they say they want to do. So even I don't fault Granny Speaker for feeding the loons.

If Netflix and Disney plus (which ESPN plus will be bundled with), are entering the CFB world, so too Amazon right? Big 12 will be fine because the two schools that carry weight are Texas and ou sucks.
I cannot see a real difference. If new fangled streaming services buy more than old cable and airwaves will buy less right? It ends in the two merging and we'll be back to about four major media giants controlling everything.

My post in the general movie thread didn't get any love. The critics now complain Shaft (Roundtree 1971) was too white.

Nebraska didn’t solve any demographic problem either. But it added a brand with national attention.
I’m saying that if Notre Dame had joined the Big 10 in the 90’s, they would have been in the kind of financial/alignment position that they didn’t feel any need to expand in the late 00’s.
Some other unforeseen event could have shaken up college sports and caused some realignment, but I don’t think it would have been the emotional knee jerk scenario that unfolded.
CR has happened in every generation. A lot seems to have been spaced out in @18 year increments.

If Notre Dame had become the 12th Big 10 school, we probably never see the 14 team leagues and Big 12 almost-Armageddon of 2010.I've heard that line of thought from the Big East (well the ones who got Left Behind) but never the BUG. ND doesn't solve their demographic problem. There aren't huge Irish populations in the big cities back east anymore. And the ones still there aren't begetting much football talent.

A logical solution that preserves what's great about college football. So of course it has zero chance of happening.
If Notre Dame had just joined the Big 10, none of this shit would have ever happened.
what?

That ACC # is a projection for NEXT year.
B1G is $49 million average as MD is getting $26.1 and Rutgers is getting $11.7 million. The conference that loves to talk about everyone being equal has charged Nebraska $50-$60 million for membership while A&M, Mizzou and Colorado basically became full members upon entry. Nebraska will take a while to catch up to what they would have earned if they simply stayed in the Big 12 (and the Big 12 schools all voted to keep them in the AAU). The B1G is charging Rutgers a huge sum.
Because they have to buy shares in the BTN?

Hasn’t she already filmed this? Why another year before it comes out?
So they can enhance the CGI with a few touches of live action.

It's like the show is focusing more on the plot than the jokes. As though we're really concerned major characters would die in the Arena 1 ep into the season.

I think the conferences (especially the SEC and Big 10) are too resilient to let the changing TV landscape be a major disruptor in the near term. Maybe the Big 12 and Pac team up, but then the Big 12 goes from sharing a pot 10 ways to sharing it 22 ways. It could make sharing a pie 16 ways seems better by comparison for teams like Texas and OU. There is also the fact that none of these TV contracts coincide to set up a single 'major college' football media package, or at least without some major disruption. If there is going to be a break, it probably happens if and when players get the right to a more open market on what schools can pay them for their participation.
The Networks, are too savvy to let NCAAF turn into an NFL. Well, actually just Disney but they're most of the duopoly.

Really? In an expanded playoff the SEC basically becomes 2 7-team conferences, whose winners almost always get invites.
If TX&OU moved in it's now a 16 team conference, probably bigger if you brought UH or TT along. So to draw the 2nd slot (let's say it's a given for the SEC) you had to finish 2nd in the division and be better than CCG loser and other division #2. That's a lot of variables to clear vs simply winning your 10 team conference.

n an expanded playoff the need to run the table to have a chance at the playoffs is practically eliminated, so adding some good teams isn't necessarily going to make getting into the expanded playoffs any more difficult than it is to get into the 4 team version.
There is no math where leaving a 10 team conference makes playoff access easier. (unless maybe the playoff returned to the BCS 2 which is never going to occur).

I wonder what will happen when the playoffs inevitably expand and whether the timing will be early enough to affect any changes when the Pac, Big 12, and Big 10 contracts go up.
I initially thought that playoff expansion would make leaving the Big 12 a more or less moot point for Texas and OU. An expanded playoff either codifies a spot for the Big 12 champ or at least all but guarantees the Big 12 a spot, short of the conference being mediocre, headed by a weak 9- or 10-win team. If the set up guarantees a spot for each P5 champ, then it might be better to stay, as wildcard spots will be limited. However, if they keep the committee approach and pick a Top 8, what really holds us back from leaving for another conference? In that scenario several conferences are getting in at least 2 teams every year and perhaps more if the rules don't limit each conference to 2 teams. The fear of getting left out by being in a bigger conference with more top-level competition is somewhat lessened, while the dollars earned would be huge.
You'd want to ditch the Big12 ccg in that scenario. If there was only one RRS game then both UT and OU can finish in the top 8 and both get playoff berths. Forget about it if you double the losses by playing twice.

So what? Because you have both a UT and TT degree we have to tip-toe around you and not shit on Tech because it upsets you?

Does TTech have any statues worth tearing down?

That's the crazy thing to me about people like Slorch. The evidence IS everywhere. Even if you don't do your homework, all of the reliable news sources (no, not CNN you tards) have shown this. Anyone with two functioning brain cells can connect the dots, but these people just bury their heads in the sand, or worse, crow about fake news and refuse to believe their lying eyes. What a world.
Most people on social media don't know the difference between
colluobstruction and offended. -
on history: no reasonable historian will treat this as anything other than a Roman Empire type political plot between the upstart and the establishment. I say reasonable because it will be probably be two generations before historians can talk intelligently about Trump.

The tragedy is people building up mueller to be a Super hero figure who was going to swoop in and destroy their enemies and restore the order of the republic. Pure fantasy.
Which bit part in The Last Jedi is Mueller? I'll go with the noble Aunt Virginia who crashes the investigation cruiser into the DOJ's credibility.
6 hours ago, Hugo Stiglitz said:It’s almost like the Dems are trying to lose. Nothing screams “out of touch” like what they’re doing now. Playing politics and always calculating towards the next election is part of the reason Trump won.
One of the original rumors was that Mueller's team was just going to get dirt on Trump and leak it out bit by bit whenever he had a good week in the news. This rumor is bolstered by the revelation that they already figured out the Trump campaign hadn't colluded with the Russians before the SC was appointed.
