I think the only school that could get away with Florida State's behavior is Notre Dame. I don't see Michigan or Georgia putting up with Florida State's constant public temper tantrums and threats. The B10 and SEC have succeeded because there is a cohesion and you are inviting a malcontent that is never happy. If the SEC has to add someone, I hope it's Clemson and UNC but I prefer to stay at 16.

It's ridiculous to give so much money and power to a coach that no other P5 school is interested in. I can't imagine an athletics director trying to sell that 1950 offense to a fanbase. If Iowa had some bad years there would still be good attendance because there's nothing to do in Iowa. I would tell Kirk that you can't hire your son and if that bothers you feel free to explore other options which I know you don't have.

In any large city there's a large number of losers whose self worth and mood depends on the pro sports team. Some SEC states don't have a pro sports team so the losers attach themselves to the flagship university sports. Patton Oswalt did a good movie about a pathetic New York Giants fan and this person exists everywhere.

The Ivy League schools chose to leave big time athletics a long time ago and this decision hasn't hurt them at all. Same with The University of Chicago. They aren't going to compromise their admission standards and add easy classes to keep people eligible. Some years ago a journalism group called California Watch found a list of easy classes that Stanford athletes are given so everyone at this level compromises. The University of Michigan has a "General Studies" major that is a joke to keep people eligible.

Jim Harbaugh NO LONGER coaches at Michigan
in Football
The B10 comissioner would like to go back to his old job. This gets uglier every day. This might be Michigan's best chance to win a national title, so they are going all in. An ugly legal battle between Michigan and the rest of the league would be more entertaining than any B10 football game.
