Notre Dame (football only discussion)

So, in Notre Dame's eyes the ACC should have spent their time advocating for a team that is not in the ACC?? And NOT in favor of a team, Miami, that actually IS in the ACC? I mean, Notre Dame ITSELF has made it perfectly clear, they are independent in football. As ORD said, if ND made the playoff, none of that money was gonna end up in the ACC coffers. Fuck them. Ridiculous.

Utah Utes (official thread)

Fans wouldn’t give a rats ass. It would change nothing in the field.
I think fans would definitely give a rat's ass when they tune into Prime TV to watch the Columbus Buckeyes play the Tuscaloosa Crimson Tide. I know it is basically minor league football today, but it is still called college football for now. Do the alumni groups continue to support? Do the Wal-Mart fans continue to buy up all of those t-shirts? I think a super league or disconnecting from the schools will be the death of it all.

2025 College Football Playoffs Discussion (12 Team Format)

Yuck. I know it’s all coming but it sure doesn’t make me enthusiastic about the future.

The bigger the league (32-48 teams), with only big boy teams, the more likely you get revenue sharing and then parity. Buckeyes’ chances at winning titles then diminishes.

Sorry but I quite like that Ohio State is positioned in the 1% now. I have enough shitty, pro teams that never accomplish anything.

The other thing I see happening on this path to optimize profits is that the teams’ connections to their respective universities could become so attenuated that students/alumni lose their emotional attachment to the team. Not sure what effect that ultimately has on this new professional football league, but I think it’s a pretty fundamental change.
Yep, will Ohio State fans enjoy going 7-5 because the MAC, Rutgers, and Kentucky's of the world are not included? Now it is Bama, Texas, Oregon, and Michigan to finish the season.

I don't believe anyone will tune in to see the Columbus Buckeyes play the Bloomington Hoosiers. I have been wrong once before so who knows.
