  1. Can't readily find it. But I saw it from a couple of different sources a month or two after they approved the expansion. Basically they are using the current % split between P5/G5 for the next couple of years. But the P5 will be split on an even share per school. 16/68 for B10 and SEC, 14/68 for ACC, 12/68 for B12 and 10/68 for P10 as the conferences will be constituted. They didn't specify how much goes for participation, but the implication was that it wasn't going to change significantly. Now--that was the deal for the next two years. What they do after the current 12 year cycle is up is still up for negotation.
  2. Ran across this just now-doesn't say a lot, but CDC does say it goes away. https://www.sportsbusinessjournal.com/Daily/Issues/2023/02/22/Media/longhorn-network-future-chris-del-conte.aspx
  3. Haven't heard anything, but every indication it will just be part of the SEC network. So you won't get a lot of Longhorn non-rev stuff. The network will be split 16 ways.
  4. The NFL does have untimed downs in the 1st and 3rd quarters, doesn't it? If so, I don't see why the NCAA would change for something that happens so infrequently.
  5. They haven't talked publicly about participation money, which was minimal in the old deal, $6 million for the 1st and $4 million for the 2nd participant in each conference, but they have decided other payouts will be pro rata equal per conference, i.e. a 16 team conference gets 1.6 times what a 10 team conference gets, so that you don't get a benefit by being smaller as the Big 12 did and as the Big East did in BCS days.
  6. Thinking about it logically, and assuming Kliavcoff isn't a total idiot (not that its out of the realm of possibility), the commissioner publicly appearing at SMU's basketball game means things are close. UW and Oregon aren't getting into the Big 10 for the foreseeable future (not in the next 6 months) The Pac 10 really want to stay together even if it means SDSU as a member SDSU and SMU invitations are imminent They have the basics of a deal that is tolerable to the 10 members The deal is tolerable, but not what they want and so they are trying to see if there is any way to bump it up, hence all the rumbling the past week
  7. Wrong about what? He's rightfully made fun of silly stuff Calzano says.
  8. Didn't think it had a name before. RIP Red.
  9. Well if you got rid of targeting, that would shorten the typical game by 10 minutes!
  10. 2 is stupid. 1 is probably not necessary. Just make the 2nd one a 30 second.
  11. On a shorter time frame, with those 7 + Colorado (who is way down, but has had past success), you get 53 of the last 55 titles (and 60 of 62) and all but 13 of the top 3 finishers in the AP Poll over those 55 years. Literally, the only other teams to crack the top 3 going back to 1968 are TCU (3 times), Pitt (2 times including #1), BYU (#1), Okie St., SMU, Stanford, Utah, Virginia Tech, Georgia Tech (who had a coaches MNC that year), and Arizona St.
  12. Good point. If you didn't use your outright, you still only add Kentucky to the list (a couple of shared titles in the 70s).
  13. Nobody in the SEC particularly wants the sooners, pigs or aggy.
  14. Georgia-Tennessee rarely played before the SEC went to divisions. they had only played 21 times at that point and 11 of those games were 1925 and earlier. Auburn is still VASTLY more of a rivalry than Tennessee to UGA. Only Minnesota-Wisconsin have played more times than Georgia-Auburn in FBS with 127 games. By comparison, Texas-OU is 118. Alabama-Auburn is 87.
  15. After North Carolina, its the 2nd most populous state not in the P2 already.
  16. Yeah. The piecemeal leads to a lot of suboptimal results.
  17. Interesting. Good fast pitch softball is pretty boring. Softball can be more entertaining with lesser teams, but some of Division I softball players are really poor. Can't throw. Can't hit. (I'm not talking about Big 12 players-there are 32 division I conferences).
  18. Utah's coach said about 1/3 of his athletes were Samoan. BYU will start getting more of those.
  19. Well they don't have to pay until Feb. 2025.
  20. Probably looks kind of like the MAC. Different winner every year.
  21. Nobody has never been more unequal with new members than the Big 10. One year Rutgers made $11 million, Maryland $26 million while the recurring members made $54 million. Nebraska had about a $60 million buy-in, probably bigger than anyone ever. Rutgers and Maryland are far worse. You never hear about the Big 10 wanting to share their wealth with other conferences. Instead, they have stripped members from the Pac 12, Big 12, ACC and Big East. Nobody is greedier than the Big 10 and nobody struts more about their "equal" revenue sharing than the Big 10.
  22. I think you could either do aggy-pig or sooner-pig. If you do sooner-pig, give aggy their probation brothers in Starkville. The only other alternative for these 4 would be aggy-sooner with the pigs going to Starkville.
  23. Don't you remember? Both are maroon schools with dogs as mascots and about the only time they won big was when Jackie Sherrill was busy getting them on probation!
  24. And OU is probably the closest school to the pigs.
  25. Alabama-Tennessee is a must. Tennessee is probably 1st wish on UK and VU's list. Florida/Tennessee wasn't a big game prior to the East/West divisions. Now for TV reasons, UK may get screwed. In basketball, they had UK-UF play twice and UK-Tennessee only once, because at the time, UK and UF were the basketball powers, when UK and Tennessee were probably first on each other's list. So we will see.
