  1. Two plays were on my mind right before the Vince 4th down. The one above and the one below at 53:41 I thought if those two plays felt so great this play is going to feel incredible with zero doubt it was going to happen.
  2. I am putting my marker down since eventually all the names will come out. It was Crow and his buddy professor that came up with the $50M and Oregon and Washington latched on to the number to delay the contract in hopes of getting to B1G.
  3. He blames the overlords of media at the end of the youtube video for the death of the PAC 12.
  4. Would you consider an 11-2 team that lost in the BIG 12 championship game missing out on the playoffs to a 9-3 BIG 10 name brand team to not be relegated? I say it since I can see it easily happening. Anyways you have cleared up what you mean by relegated and what I understood as relegated and that is where we saw things differently.
  5. He also put bulk as part of it. Bulk is what I keyed on since they would be down to one bid and unlikely to get a second.
  6. "If you relegate schools like the bulk of the Big 12 schools, their fans will just lose interest in college football" vs "Every I8 fan should be completely fine with this arrangement" Right now the BIG 12 has one auto birth. The remaining 6 at large could easily go to the BIG 10 and SEC just like when Ohio State jumped TCU. It is a fact that the brand name schools will probably jump non-brand name schools. To me that is relegating the bulk of BIG 12 schools. So I did not understand how you guys were fine with the arrangement. Had the BIG 12 remained schools other than the champions that finished ahead of Texas and Oklahoma could have claim multiple wins against brand name programs to reach the playoffs. It may be possible that the BIG 12 will get two teams in but as elite recruits start to all flow to the Power 2 then I see it as improbable.
  7. Those two post just have a disconnect I don't understand.
  8. I will address what makes college football a unique market. I guessing since you did not list your points. 1. Every game counts and Passion Nobody likes watching crap games at home so that one can stay undefeated. It is when the big time teams visit that that tailgates start early and stadium has its' largest crowds. Poor argument even though I made it years ago but I see clearly now. The crowds are most passionate when the games matter. 2. Regional The only reason one could travel at a cheap price is because most teams below the top tier have a fan interest that is not very high and when it is at the brand name stadiums hosting those fans really don't care because see above. 3. Rivalries Now this one is the one all the fans being left behind are crying about. 11 schools see Texas as their biggest rival while Texas only views 3 teams as rivals and two we were not even playing. I am sure Oklahoma, USC, UCLA, Washington and Oregon have a similar disparity. It is this argument that fans being left behind present as the "strongest" argument. The teams moving did not see these other teams as a rivals and if they do they have offered to continue the rivalry. We are happy to renew our rivalries. 4. The players being only yours. NIL changed this equation and conference realignment has nothing to do with it 5. Playoffs As the playoff format changes the home games will take care of filtering out the teams that are undeserving at a shot at the NC and fans of the teams that will probably win will get an extra game. I predict those teams will be the teams that are moving to new conferences or were or have been big dogs in the POWER 2 and not the ones left behind. 6. Eliminate NFL distinction premise is false The fact that you think that the NFL and college football distinction can be eliminated is what amazes me. The college football distinction will NEVER be eliminated. One is tied to one's school because we earned the right and the school it is not moving. It is not controlled by a single dickhead and parity is not controlled by a central office. There will always be the haves and have nots and breaking into the fraternity will take a special set of circumstances (i.e. Miami). The haves are probably going to enjoy the changes just fine and they make up most the TV audience anyway. There are only so many slots and you want the most viewers you can get for each slot.
  9. You guys are slow today where is the 7,99,4,55,38,....,1,...,X
  10. This recruitment deserves two fucking posts on the same thread! Welcome to the 40 young man!
  11. Welcome to the 40 young man! Time to take this program to the next level!
  12. I have someone in mind, Tashard Choice.
  13. They gave it to you and you got it wrong.
  14. How convenient he is using the better conference argument. Say it damn it, the SEC was the bag money conference since they were all willing to openly cheat and no teams in that conference had a problem doing it. The thing is bag money was relatively cheap. NIL has leveled the field and now Texas, Oregon and USC and some other schools will be able to compete. By the way Aggy is still at a disadvantage because they are not the State of Texas flagship school.
  15. @trythisathome you can use this one in the future if you want.
  16. Colin is aware that when other kids go to the podium everyone already knows where they are going. He has given kids a blue printed of how it is done but most lack the discipline. He probably has most people around him in the dark of what he has already decided to do.
  17. I think ESPN has an incentive to get the ACC to dissolve. We know worth while teams are desperate to find a home in the Power 2 even if it means doing it at a discount. So lets say FSU and Clemson to SEC for $40M a piece. North Carolina, Virginia and Miami to BIG 10 at no cost to ESPN. Then Duke, Pitt, Louisville and UConn to BIG 12 at $31M. So ESPN gets the premier basketball conference and decent football and two more great teams in the SEC for $204M a year instead of the $240 it pays today for the ACC. I think getting the ACC to dissolve is a better deal for ESPN. I really don't understand why people think ESPN does not have an incentive to break up the ACC.
  18. Keep in mind it is not the BIG XII and SEC making moves. It will be ESPN deciding what happens to the ACC and when.
  19. I disagree they are moving around for cash once their contract are over or paying millions to move a year early. The problem with the portal is that it has not penalties for leaving after you sign a contract.
  20. Now I understand why Crow has a look like he has an agenda and everyone else has a look of oh hell we are about to deal with an idiot.
