I don't know. If the SEC wasn't interssted maybe the B1G would be since they have no southern presence. It's the wild wild west. As things shift from cable to streaming, I wonder if strategies change.

I, for one, can hardly wait to see FSU @ Minnesota the week before Thanksgiving.

Syracuse has a value no other school in CFBdom has, a P5, soon to be P4, team with two senators and a handful of members of congress. New York is the only state in the big four states not represented in the SEC or B1G.

This fact alone make SU a Tier 2 school, if not Tier 1.

Add in the fact that SU brings viewers, pedigree, and loyal fans, one should conclude that SU is not a throw away school.

Just this poster’s opinion.

Boston TV market

And basically all of New England to boot.

Boston TV market = Red Sox, Patriots , Celtics Bruins

In my heart, I'm with you 100%. Not so much in my brain.

Perhaps 25 years ago. Not now - after a generation of s***. Our football program doesn't exist to most. I listen to many college football podcasts - including this year's ACC previews. We got maybe 1 minute of discussion at the tail end of 90 minute podcasts. Just before the 30 seconds spent on BC and Wake. SU football is a ghost.

Except back then they probably didn't care about ratings. They only cared about the number of TV sets carrying cable.

I agree, football has been lackluster. However, if the government is getting involved, and they have started, New York's two senators and 26 congressional members form a block to possess on your side of an argument in congress.

Politically, the block cannot be ignored under any circumstances. The House of Representatives has 435 members, a majority of 218 can carry the day in the House. NY affords a 10%+ block of votes that is simply too important to ignore. For the P2 arguments, there is no justification to ignore the block, especially when UW, UO, Rutgers, Maryland, Northwestern, Vandy, Mizzou, the Mississippi schools, etc., are a part of the block. At worst, they get a body bag game with a large state population and a nice congressional delegation block. Essentially, SU only provides upside.

Is congress getting involved with realignment stuff? So far I had only seen NIL related stuff.

Step 1. Mostly, Congress has avoided the matter. To ensure they do, a P2 would need to ensure the majority of senators and congress members are included in the P2 representation.

This is just an opinion of one fan.

You need to stop living in the past man! Big East basketball died a long time ago.

I want to be with Butler and Creighton.
