  1. The last time they had a good football team. They won a couple of Division II titles in 81/82 with Jim Wacker. In 84 they moved to I-AA.
  2. Well the Big 10 tried to stop it to get a better TV deal, but the ADs are trying to undo that.
  3. Boise St. can prove they can do math, unlike AAU schools like Utah, Arizona, Colorado, Wisconsin, Michigan etc. who are in the Big 12 and Big 10. Its not like the Pac 12 name has been around long. Only around a dozen years. It was Pac 10 for about 35 years. Just make it the PAC with the same logo, but no numbers.
  4. Formatting doing odd things yesterday. I didn't know how to do subscripts and did them without trying!!!
  5. I've pointed out there are 20 schools who have dominated the top of the rankings going all the way back to 1960. Of those 18 with 50% of the viewers, only Wisconsin isn't among those top 20. And the 3 who aren't have been in a slump. Nebraska and Miami, obviously, were well down most of that period. Also Colorado, who was 20th of the 20, was really, really down. Although coach Prime has gotten CU some attention, at least for a while.
  6. Also that means 90% from the top 63.

  8. Games on rated networks, average rating per Sic-Em analysis (2013-2021) (note that ratings are calculated on 36 games-schools with less than 36 are not officially ranked), 4 year average attendance, revenues, MSA population, Population in state per P4 school (assuming school moves up). For reference, I've included ACC and Big 12 averages and medians and SMU, the last school to move up. You can see why nobody else has been invited. rating 4 yr att revenue Average B12 2.069 47,269 125,041,940 Median B12 2.031 47,830 121,080,103 Average ACC 2.468 44,808 146,079,157 Median ACC 2.08 41,353 139,458,791 games rating 4 yr att revenue MSA pop million/P4 in state 45 SMU 0.728 25,853 99,506,414 8,344,032 4,470,119 West 56 Wash.

  9. Lousy basketball. Small market. 4 P schools already in NC. And they really haven't been very good in football lately. Since 2014, beginning of CFP era, they are 54-78. Their TV ratings are #75 of the 75 schools who met the criteria (36 rated games over 9 years) in the Sic-Em TV analysis for 2013-2021.
  10. Fox 2 FS1 3 ABC 2 ESPN 3 ESPN 2 3 CBS 1 NBC 1 BTN 3 SECN 3 That's at least 21 slots for 42 schools. And some will be off any given week with 2 byes, so that really gets you to a minimum of 48 schools. And then there is room for late nights, TH nights, F nights and the ACCN. Plenty of room for 60-72 schools.
  11. Well with paying exit fees and poaching fees, they probably won't have a cache either!
  12. Well Stanford is the reason Texas and probably Colorado didn't join the Pac in 1990.
  13. Boise has had far more success than any G school and is a better TV draw. Yet they really didn't get serious consideration either time. And they weren't taken seriously because of academics.
  14. I think copying soccer on anything is stupid. No relegation. No giving extra guaranteed bids in the playoffs to the SEC and Big Ten.
  15. That's really the issue as far as the schools are concerned. That plus you have essentially legal bagmen. Certain schools will be able to compete on that.
  16. Nah, just got a bunch of people who can't control themselves. But then it IS Surly. You could just comment on Saban or how the commission can't make any laws.
  17. Well even with SMU buying the way in for the 3 of them, it was only their academics that got them included in that deal. It matters on the margins. its one of the reasons Boise never got serious Big 12 consideration.
  18. https://abcnews4.com/news/local/acc-clemson-florida-state-approve-settlement-to-end-legal-fight-change-revenue-distribution-model-wciv-abc-news-4-the-associated-press-atlantic-coast-conference $165 million in 2026 decreasing by $18 million a year.
  19. https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/44093338/sources-fsu-clemson-expected-reach-settlement-acc FSU/Clemson/ACC settlement near. "The ACC board of directors is scheduled to hold a call Tuesday to go over the settlement terms. In addition, Florida State has called a board meeting to present the terms at noon ET Tuesday, and Clemson plans to do the same. All three boards must agree to the settlement for it to move forward, but sources throughout the league expect a deal to be reached. According to sources, the settlement includes two key objectives: establishing a new revenue-distribution model based on viewership and a change in the financial penalties for exiting the league's grant of rights before its conclusion in June 2036.... Although the settlement will not make substantive changes to the grant of rights, it is expected that there will be declining financial penalties for schools that exit before 2036, with the steepest decreases coming after 2030 -- something that would apply to any ACC school, not just Clemson and Florida State. The specific financial figures for schools to get released from the grant of rights were not readily available. But the total cost to exit the league after the 2029-30 season is expected to drop below $100 million, sources said...."
  20. If its like IMG and taking over conference tournaments (basketball, baseball, softball, tennis, etc.), I can see it. I can't see it being a good thing beyond that.
  21. https://sports.yahoo.com/sources-acc-in-process-of-extending-tv-contract-with-espn-for-9-more-years-141308428.html FSU/Clemson talk not going away. As mentioned above, ESPN extends. Going to try to improve those ND ratings by more FSU/Clemson/Miami games. Allocate more money on performance. And possibly shorten the GOR.
  22. Other than their 4 playoff games (all top 10), Notre Dame only had 2 others in the top 100. CU was involved in 2 of the 5 games that were not all P4 matchups, vs. NDSU and Colorado St. The others were Army-Navy, Notre Dame's loss to NIU and the MWC CCG Boise vs. UNLV. CU also had the highest regular season game not in a "prime" slot (Saturday 12/4/8 or TG Friday 12/4/8). That NDSU game was #60. There were only 3 of those games that made the top 100 and one was Labor Day Monday (BC-FSU).
  23. The coach blew the game. I was saying how stupid it was going for 2 in the first half. If he had gone for 1, it would have been tied 31-31 at the end of regulation.
