    You can have a property interest in a lease for purposes of inverse condemnation. I wonder if they've thought through that aspect.

    Not a lawyer, but it does seem to amount to a "taking."

  2. I can't recall why, but I took government in summer school with a football coach who had just moved to Texas from New Mexico. He announced that fact on the first day of class, stating something to the effect of: "Well, I'm supposed to teach you kids about Texas government, but I just moved here from New Mexico, and all I can say is, 'We have one.'" Then, I think we just moved on to US government.

    School pride but if they shared in some type of profits and their facilities were upgraded and they were a farm school they might? The kids may not mind. Yeah a lot think they are better than they are but if you didn’t get offers but were offered by a farm team with a direct pipeline to a school like Texas or Oregon or whatever you might see it different i guess? And the farm schools have their own league or whatever and can play for championships and are responsible for developing those diamonds in the rough like the Nibletts. And they get farmed up the school gets something in return. I am surprised states like Kansas and Oklahoma and Nebraska aren’t doing this or Wyoming or Idaho. It’s a quick way to get competitive and you just grab sophomores and juniors who are bigger and stronger from your farm team to fill the gaps and it gives the FBS school a chance to make the playoffs, 

     

    yeah I know run on sentences and punctuation but I’m tired. I just hate seeing teams like Oregon State fail in the current system. Kansas State had to decline a bowl bc they don’t have enough players. I realize most of y’all don’t care about them but it’s truly sad to me. Surely there is a fix? 

     

    No, I hear what you're saying, and I follow your logic. Personally, I think it's a bridge too far, but my opinion holds zero weight. Also, I agree with you about the Oregon and Kansas States in the college football world. Hell, I don't think it's a secret, but being a Texas Tech (and also Texas) fan, I really want those kinds of teams to be competitive. The idea of an NFL Lite made up of just the B1G and SEC really turns me off.

    I think most of us agree there is some parity with the top 50-65 FBS teams. Maybe it’s just 50 but regardless you take those major programs that belong to P4 and add a few of the other schools like your Boise States and whatever and that is the FBS cut off. The rest can be like feeder schools (like minor league baseball teams are for the majors) for the P4 and those teams develop the talent and get them ready and are compensated and can for whatever league and have their own playoffs and whatever, I’m talking out of my ass and I don’t care but there has to be a better system than this and some real benefit to having coaches and players move up to the next level without poaching and consistently robbing the lesser teams of anything they find that is good, if it’s set up like that I. A professional way it could save those 65 or so other teams with struggling programs. You attach one or two schools to a major program and they develop and cultivate the talent and then matriculate up. And if no one wants their asses they can portal but this is my thought. I’m not articulating it well but I think it would be good for the sport as a whole. Then you have true competition at the highest level for the FBS and a steady stream of talent. It’s like all the surly kids tha cannot get into UT academically so they go to a flagship and try to make good grades to eventually get in to UT. But I haven’t fleshed this out enough. Was hoping for some ideas from y’all though I have no fucking clue why, 😂 

     

    I suppose the flagship schools could treat their other system schools as a farm team, but I really don't think anyone would go for this. School pride is still a thing, and I'm not sure Icarnate Word would be okay with being Baylor's farm team.

    I think we should do a Top XX playoff.  They can organize bowls or a separate playoffs outside of that.  Reduce the revenue share for teams that play in the playoff and keep conference revenue sharing how it is.  I appreciate these programs need for financial support and think reinvesting in the broader sport is good for everyone, but there's no reason for them to playing an uncompetitive exhibition.

    Yeah, I think we're on the same page.

    Should G5 teams have their own playoff instead of getting embarrassed, yes of course.

    NCAA better make some kind of a big financial offer to them for it to happen.

    High dollar lawyers are just lining up for the Antitrust lawsuit that a G5 team or conference will file if they don't.

    NCAA not doing well in court these days and probably wouldn't in this kind of case either.

    I dunno if antitrust would be much of an issue so long as the P4 don't split entirely from the G5. The only split would happen in the playoffs. It's kinda like the UIL breaking up divisions within 5A, 4A, 3A, etc., for the playoffs. Hell, if I were a fan of a team like JMU, I would appreciate having a playoff opportunity with much less risk of getting embarrassed.
