New Nebraska AD: "There's going to be some meritocracy versus more of a social approach to revenue distribution," Dannen said. "You'll eventually see that within leagues. You'll eventually see that across sports, maybe other than football. An eat what you kill, in some respects, that mentality...

No, the SEC is never going to think about anything north of VA, except for Ohio ST. If Ohio ST were to leave the BT for the SEC, that would signal that the SEC has total victory for itself being THE 1 league in the Top Tier, which would no longer pretend to be NCAA. I'd be happy with that, as...

Boy that is true. For example, many years back into theist century I lived in Big 8 country and then, after a m,kive back east, then also lived in Big XII country . I genuinely like Iowa St fans a lot. I like K-ST fans almost as much. I like Ok St fans about as much as I like K-St fans. But...

I had read online an SEC guy say that Sankey was a Syracuse grad and had made it well known he would destroy Syracuse in a split second if his employer wanted that done.

BT ADs do want that. And always have. And you shoudreclal that it was BT ADs that invited PSU< BT Presidents then put the breaks on and said NO, and behind the scenes over a week or so the ADs and boosters and media people persuaded the Presidents to canoe their votes. Same will happen going...

I think you have described well what the most wealthy football programs in BT and SEC want long term. They at heart are no longer college athletics department programs: they are almost independent pirates whose morals system is that if you can get away with it, it then is right to have been...

Is it true that Sankey is a Syracuse alum? He is one slimy, uber greedy, endlessly devious son of a bitch.

I think that pair would be very happy utterly destroying everyone else, and then that alone would be able to claim being THE CFB leagues. So this plan, as nutty as it is, is at least a way to battle the evil alliance between the BT and SEC.

This kind of sports humor requires a long set up. It is not Rodney Dangerfield.

I assume you do not get the kind of college sports humor that is everywhere.

Depends on how many fouls were called and on whom. Houston was rather lucky to get to the Sweet 16.

ESPN began talking down ACC basketball years ago, when it made the decision go 100% with the SEC for everything. It seemed to many that ESPN bashing ACC football was just kind of expected because of SEC football, but knocking ACC basketball when you have all of it? That was the sign that ESPN...

The Bog CXXI has. host of fans on the internet who cannot face the fact that the reason the Big 8 dissolved itself when the SWC did is the Big 8 territory had media power to support a major conference, so it had to get its schools into TX, with UT and TAMU. Now, they face a new harsh reality and...

Not at all? And to think I get reamed for making certain all ACC people know that football is superior in every sense while also loving college hoops.

Which coach? Football or basketball?

It seems clear to me that ESPNJ a long time ago decided that it would act in concert with the BT and Fox to either kill or seriously weaken each of the other 3 of the P5, so BT and SEC could have almost all the wealth and power. And then those 2 leagues would hare a MASSIVE pot, because...

My best bet to aid to the ACC would be USF. The school is larger than FSU, and I think their alums have a higher average income. USF has earned AAU status. Those alums are now very proud of that school, and it will carry over into sports.

ESOPN can refuse to extend the deal, which means at that point the ACC has no TV deal and will be dead if it cannot secure one rather quickly. As the moves to kill the Pac showed to those with eyes to see, ESPN and Fox, SEC and BT act together in this. And now CBS and NBC are minor parts of team...

And all that death is what the damned evil BT and SEC mean to achieve. And it is what Notre Dame stands by watching.

I doubt there is anybody in the country who has more hate for the combined BT and SEC monster than I do. I really would not be upset in the slightest if each of their headquarters, nd those of Disney and Fox, got nuked. I do think that there has been a long term plan to kill off the ACC. which...

There used to be a poster here who seemed British in certain phrasings. For some reason, it seems to me now that part of his handle was Neil, and that he always ended a post with Cheers. Anyway, whoever he is, before I ever posted here, he despised me because I was very well known on many ACC...

The BE basketball tournament was at its peak in terms of intensity when the league was 8 and 9, just as the ACC tournament was at its peak when the league was 8 and 7. Nobody central to founding the BE ever expected it to sponsor football - it was founded only for basketball. The BE trying to...

Not even close. It is now run by people who have no sporting sense whatsoever but instead are driven totally by love of money and the exercise of raw power.

Not quite. But it is heading there quickly.

Where did you grow up, and where did you go to college?

The BT was acting always to and competition even before it bang that bpotyoctt of Notre Dame. SO that is central to the BT DNA, and thus much older than TV deals for games. The SEC has come that position only recently. And that fact is that without those leagues wanting this, desperately...

Dilfer is simply following where the logic lies. And that is something extremely slimy. It will no longer in any meaningful sense be CDFB. It will like fake CFB run by Mafia groups and loan sharks.

That is so primarily because that instability is not organic; it is driven by 2 super greedy conferences, already the 2 richest by a good deal, and huge globalist multi-billionaire businesses. It is the worst of corporate raiding, corporate forced take over applied to college sports, remaining...

In this matter it all hinges on if ND hs enough sense to realize that's bets interests are not being bound tom and thus under directed all the 'we wanna go Prop' BT and SEC Major football powers. I am convinced that Swarbrick was a key figure in all this process who wanted ND in the BT, and he...

When the two richest demand to get even more money and control ove4r who gets in and how and where, it is impossible. That's the point. They are super rich and are using all that wealth and the power it generates to totally take over. They need to be banned from everybody else - not just for...

nothing but insatiable greed by BT and SEC. Best quote: "The two most powerful conferences in America are scared to compete. They want to begin every season with advantages built in—the most bids, the easiest playoff path—without proving it on the field. They might well end up with those...

Exactly. Before I was banned from Warchant, I used to get a lot of laughs reading Noles fans whining about how the ACC conspired against FSU by helping Wake Forest beat them. I think my favorite one was (paraphrased) 'They invited us to be their football king and now they won't let us win...

The MAC has been saving up for some time. This is a bad move by the MAC. UMass is never going to make a hot basketball rivalry with any of those midwestern schools. And there is far more football talent in the Cincinnati TV market than in all New England. Last year there were reports that...

Frank the Tank early on said that he thought the BT might well go beyond 16 members. He also was dead right in saying that all moves were based on TV drawing power for football- meaning basketball has no real value in the face of football and even a league having teams win football National...

They are that because they came to believe that the Big 8 was some super league that destroyed the SWC and took what it wanted. Therefore, the Big 12 is always going to be MAJOR in every sense. The reality is that it was the SEC taking Arkansas that began the decline from which the SWC could...

What fans narrative are you talking about?

For many, it is thinking that starts with their assumption that the Pac was near god because of the Rose Bowl while also thinking that the ACC has never played any good football ever. So if the original Rose Bowl league got destroyed, it only makes sense and is fair for the ACC to be destroyed too.

That's brutal.

The fools doing all this behind the scenes clearly haven't thought through very well. But that is par for fools who intend to rule the entire world. Even separating the P5 from the rest of D1 would have been a mess, but least that would have satisfied every large region that it had schools being...

If it did not, there would be something bad wrong with him.

And they were the last of the classic 8 in the Pac 8. I think they did not get into the Pac until the mid-1920s. Cal and Stanford fans still call them 'baby bears' and laugh about their unearned arrogance.

UCLA is a huge state university with no fans. BT money cannot alter that fact. Nor can it make UCLA seem as sexy to recruits as USC. The BT adding UCLA was just to placate SC. I'd take both UAZ and AZ St over UCLA any day.

FSU people have a long history of being short sighted, especially when it comes to thinking about UF with more money and more other goodies.

FSU assumes that if freed of the ACC it would be a given to be chosen for a Super League of 24 or more. I'm not so certain. A Super League of 48 - definitely. But FSU is not certain to be desired by a Super League of 32, much less 24.

Franklin's head his first couple years at PSU was still partly in Nashville, because he left behind the worst scandal in Vanderbilt history: football players gang rape, which investigation also found how low the academic and general discipline standards for football players had gotten under...

That is going to happen to many. This move that these greedy fools assume with save their audiences will cost them some of it with no growth in new areas.

All of the means a guy like him would be smart to campaign for the BC job. Sounds ideal for his family needs.

They need to be strongly encouraged to leave the NCAA. That can be Dione by the rest of the leagues playing 1A (FBS) football agreeing to have an NCAA sponsored football playoff. The BT and ASEC will never agree to that because they intend to secure for themselves the vast majority of major CFB...

Congress would serve them. It serves every other big money whore.
