Absolutely. If it's one conference not wanting to go to the party, that conference looks like a bunch of nerds. But if it's both the Big Ten and SEC choosing to opt out of the playoffs and instead play each other, that becomes the real party. The "official" CFB playoffs will be the NIT.

4 Big Ten teams. 4 SEC teams. The playoffs can be James Madison and the Big 12 and the ACC and whatever other conference they find. Set your own schedule for the games. Don't balk at trying to avoid competing time slots with the playoffs. Would you rather watch Florida State - Baylor or Alabama - Georgia?

In a couple of years, announce that the Big Ten and SEC are looking to expand, and watch the rest of the teams in the country cut each other's throats just to be considered for a spot in the Big Ten or SEC.

The more they deny a super conference the more you know it's been discussed and is likely half way to being real.

It's the only logical conclusion to this UNLESS the B1G and SEC all of a sudden want to subsidize 100 or so smaller schools with tv money the SEC/B1G could keep for themselves.

Discounting the odds of an outbreak of that particular strain of insanity, I don't really see how the super league doesn't happen at some point (exact size and shape TBD).

A lot of hyperbole as people line up to show who can be more outraged and clutch their pearls over the "integrity" of CFB is all I see.

The guy made micro bets at IU when he was buried in the depth chart and had no influence on games, never bet on his team at UC or TT. That fact pattern does not equal 1919 Black Sox or Pete Rose.

Reality is more that the sport of CFB has always lacked "integrity" depending on how you define that or how far you want to play that charade. What people are actually upset about is the TT oil booster just blatantly buying the program into relevance whether that be buying players via NIL or local judges for a ruling. It feels like he's cheating but under the new rules, he isn't.

Floating the idea of refusing to play the TT women's soccer team over this is as absurd as the judges ruling.

Hopefully, this will push TTU to push Sorsby into the supplemental draft. Let the NFL deal with this.

Tech is the epitome of a two-bit poverty school that hit the lotto because a rich alum is obsessed with the foosball. I put the odds at maybe 10%, but it will be hilarious if the other B12 schools boycott them this season.

He said it best. Having an addiction does not free you from consequences of said addiction

If I have epilepsy, I'm afforded certain protections against some forms of discrimination by the law. I, however, am not entitled to be an airline pilot or air traffic controller.

Believe it was Shakespeare that coined the 'great unwashed', but whomever said, means the common person. And while I bathe semi-regularly, do consider myself a common person. Joe Sixpack just doesn't resonate as much. Anyway, if you follow the market, Big Oil is doing well during these times. Countries without our oil reserves, not so much.

Wonder how much of that settlement was paid for by an insurance policy, and how much from the coffers of the university.

SC, being a private university, is a costly proposition. Yeah, know that they give full ride scholarships, but it's still a monied school. Ergo, my bet is that most of these women come from wealthier families, probably members of country clubs, and have had extensive training/teaching there. Not sure a kid just wakes up one day and says I'm gonna golf. Unless there's a parent that plays, and starts taking them to the range early. Anyway, always said that parents should take their daughters to play golf, as is easier way to get college paid for.

#1 with a silver bullet!

Interesting story. Kinda wonder if the family will 'split the loot' when he chooses his higher learning institution. And of course, family not trying to influence his choice in any way, right? Guess am being Negative Nelly here, but that's what I do. Hope tOSU gets the dirigible down here with his name on the sides....better than some dumb old rock anyway.

Different tune if the B10 joins them, however. Might indeed be the national championship.

That may be the smartest thing I'll read all month. But don't get a big head - I don't read much.
But your words have a lot of wisdom. The NCAA actually tried to do the right thing, and found out that they aren't allowed to. Like someone else said:

If there is any truth to this self-policing, that's great. Black-ball them in any way you can. I was saying that about CMU's involvement with Connor Stalions. But, even if the words are true, they're just words. I think if it make a team a couple bucks to play Texas Tech, then they'll play Texas Tech.
