  1. You're adding two of the best teams. That's the thing about UNC. That is a dilution. And realistically there are only 4 teams outside the SEC/Big 10 who are a threat to win it all-FSU, Clemson, Notre Dame and Miami. Last year there were 5-6 more, Texas, Oklahoma, USC, Washington, Oregon and maybe UCLA.
  2. These are the ACC and Big 12 schools.
  3. Agreed. Below are the TV ratings per the Sic-em analysis from 2013-21 for ACC and Big 12 schools. Only 4 schools are ahead of Stanford who wasn't valuable enough to get in the Big 10 or to get a full share in the ACC, but FSU and Clemson rate pretty high:
  4. This guy seems to think FSU (and others) will be out of the ACC in the relatively near future according to his contacts in the legal profession. Josh Pate is with 247, so you can take it or leave it:
  5. We had trouble winning 9 or 10 in the Big 12. All it takes the right coach and USC will start winning again.
  6. That was a special season. But I loved the way Colt McCoy would almost always find a way to comeback and win. 2023 was pretty good. 2024 or 2025 may be pretty special.
  7. They'll strike and kill the golden goose much like baseball hurt its popularity with multiple strikes.
  8. Yes. Basketball and football and some non-rev P4 athletes benefit and everyone else loses.
  9. The smaller Div I schools kept the rules on amateurism and fought every attempt by those of the P5 who wanted to do more. And the non-FBS schools (other than Big East) are getting way more than they contribute to the tourney. The P5 could say, fine, we'll just have our own basketball invitational and leave you out.
  10. If it is paid directly by the schools, then they have to figure out how Title IX impacts it. If its paid by collectives by now, then it doesn't apply. Many of the schools are talking about taking over the NIL, but I don't see how it would work without giving them Title IX headaches.
  11. Based on the recent NCAA championships TV deal, women's basketball ($65 of $115 million) is more valuable than all the other miscellaneous sports combined.
  12. It would seem that if they gave everyone 22% of media, ticket and sponsorship money of their sport, it would be logical and should be compliant. But Title IX is not the least bit about logic. Logically, you could have 3 pools and give everyone in each pool only from their own sport's money: Men's football and basketball Women's basketball All other sports These are the 3 class action categories in the House lawsuit.
  13. This is extremely relevant to realignment. A lot of schools won't make it.
  14. https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2024/05/18/house-v-ncaa-settlement-vote/ Title IX, future anti-trust. Big mess even after the settlement.
  15. When they are good, people watch.
  16. They should have tried to kill off the Sun Belt in their previous expansion. Instead they left it alive and kicking to pull up the best of FCS. And the AAC kept pulling from them, so eventually CUSA was the one pulling from FCS.
  17. https://sports.yahoo.com/sources-new-college-athlete-compensation-model-may-cost-power-schools-300m-each-over-10-years-003140102.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly90LmNvLw&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAIIae29YRf0gPY0Ebf9-47Y2PoDbqv0QbxYaauX0XXMyzEe6oqxvGc5WRI8o9Mw2nxL0Ysk6blngAA4V7mXo76p0mBPQ4cXHaxwbVIEu-vcjbrosfoAcusKRpzWYJpKjFxz_QfZFN-qaaMXZkK3yex7C8KP8xkMbvf5Y4cNmb2Wm Will all the P4 stay? How much of the G5 will be able to afford to stay? They won't be required to revenue share as they aren't part of this lawsuit, but that doesn't exempt them from other lawsuits and the cost to continue to compete. And even more, this will increase the number of schools sending their resumes to the Big 10 and SEC. "...As industry executives continue to negotiate with plaintiff lawyers in the House antitrust case, details of a future compensation model — a necessary piece to any settlement agreement — continue to emerge. Those who shared details were granted anonymity as they were not authorized to speak about a proposed settlement that continues to undergo changes. While negotiations are active and have been for as many as eight months — not a new revelation within the industry — concepts of the proposed new model are becoming more formalized as leaders work to meet a deadline set by attorneys. Money figures are becoming clear: For those in the power conferences, the price tag is steep. The 10-year settlement agreement could cost each power school as much as $300 million over the decade, or $30 million a year. That figure assumes a school meets what is believed to be: (1) a $17-22 million revenue distribution cap for athletes; (2) at least $2 million in withheld NCAA distribution for back damages; and (3) as much as $10 million in additional scholarship costs related to an expansion of sport-specific roster sizes — a concept previously unpublicized...."
  18. I just don't see how going beyond 20 makes sense for the SEC or Big 10 at current contract rates. Only ND, FSU, Clemson and maybe Miami bring in high enough ratings to justify expansion financially. And it makes no sense to go to 24 for any reason other than financial. But clearly people are talking about it. 4X18 or 2X20, 2X16 just makes more sense than 3X24.
  19. https://sports.yahoo.com/how-the-new-college-football-playoff-format-came-to-be-and-what-it-means-for-the-sports-future-165149801.html Good article on why Sankey became Cranky and became the Grinch that stole CFP $$s for the G5 and M2. And what comes next???! "...During a meeting of CFP commissioners in November, well before the revenue negotiations began, a discussion point emerged about the CFP’s future. “There was a belief that all of us had to stay together as is,” Sankey recalled. “I never viewed it that way.” Sankey’s honest and stunning admission may indicate the future course of the SEC and perhaps the Big Ten too. It casts doubt on the glue that binds the nine leagues together. Schwarz believes the future is not necessarily two 20-team conferences that create a separate entity, as so many predict. Instead, he sees two 24-team conferences plus a third, possibly three 20-team leagues. “They’d all love to rip one of the four apart and make it a Big Three,” he said. Said one high-placed college athletics insider: “Five power leagues could not survive. Neither can four....""
  20. 16-18 is Prestige Worldwide. The rest will still be around for ooc wins.
  21. You give him way too much credit. It was not really a police chase. More of a parade. A boring parade. And whoever at NBC switched from game 5 of the NBA finals for that earned his ticket to hell!
  22. He's baaaack! Actually the Dude of WV never left, after all, he's immortal, but just changed to his real name, Christopher Lambert. And his FSU and Clemson talk just won't go away. So from others who do subscribe to his twitter, ESPN is brokering a deal whereby the ACC lets FSU and Clemson go to the SEC, sublicenses their rights to ESPN to use in the SEC and takes a cut. Meanwhile, ESPN agrees to exercise their option to renew the ACC contract from 2027-2036. That option expires in 2025. Its just way too complicated for the Dude to have thought of it himself, so someone did tell him this. And it really does make sense, even if the source is the Dude. Its a win for FSU and Clemson, who get to go to the SEC and make more money. Its a win for the ACC who get rid of a couple of whiners, get their contract renewed and cash in on part of FSU/Clemson's FMV. Its a win for ESPN who keeps FSU and Clemson and gets even better matchups in the SEC, although they do pay a little more. Its a win for the SEC who seal up the southeast and get a couple more national brands.
  23. Quit carrying water for the pussy who sucker punched him. I can't believe so many of you are defending that piece of shit. It would have been one thing if one of those two guys in front of him had done it.
  24. Yeah. When I was growing up someone who sucker punched was a total pussy and coward. I lived in Vince's neighborhood, long before Vince. Our Junior High was rated one of the 10 most dangerous school in the nation. And the only junior high on the list. We were a little overrated--but there were lots of fights and they were always fair fights. And when somebody lost, it was over. They didn't bang their head into the concrete. Nobody used weapons. They didn't gang up 2 on 1. Only pieces of shit like the sucker punch guy would do that.
  25. He didn't get hit by the two guys he was holding. It was a loser guy on the side.
