Big Ten and other Conference Expansion

[TampaBuckeyes]

I think that's where things are eventually headed, though I think there's too much money in having a multi-round playoff comprised of B1G and SEC schools to decide things.

In theory I like the NFL model of each conference having a tourney and sending their champs to play. It’s the best way to find a true champion. But then it’s just one inter conference game at the end of the season. I like the system we have now where I get to see how 8 big ten teams fair against the other conferences. That is the important part of college football. I don’t care if it’s a 32 team playoff or a bowl system.

Today's rumor mill:



I'll be glad when the games begin.

Whatever their shortcomings, Cal & Stanford make infinitely more sense than FSU and Clemson. One thing for certain is that we're not being represented at that Presidents' meetings since we don't have a fucking President. Or does Les Wexner just send his wife to such things these days.

And we had better be making Stanford get rid of that band as a condition.

HA!! Imagine being an FSU fan. You go from thinking you're going to the Big Ten, to NOT going to the Big Ten, and Cal got "your" spot.

And I agree about the band. Goobers.

I wonder what Nebraska might be thinking right now. With Colorado returning to a B12 and Texas leaving, that has to be a pretty appealing setup for them, as well as possibly the only way they become relevant in football again. Yes, they'd be giving up B1G money and the B1G academic consortium, but the corntards have made it abundantly clear that football success is the only thing that drives their university. B1G has no GOR, so they can leave tomorrow.

The more I think about it the more the Clemosn/FSU rumors are nonsense. That GOR is ironclad because lawyers have been looking for holes in it for over a year with no success. And there is no way that espn lets the two most valuable football properties in their controlled ACC leave for FOX/NBC/CBS.

Sounds okay to me. When the rest of the college football world has moved on, Clemson and FSU can cry about being left in the others' farts.

Damn. Did they even entertain bids from British Petroleum to air their games on gas station TV? Everyone in North America could at least watch five minutes of a game while filling up their tank.

Look at Mr. Big Bucks "filling up" his tank over here.........

It would be a tragedy if Bilo The Retard gave up B1G money to go back to Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan and still couldn’t get bowl eligible. It could happen.

The great thing will be when the older big 12 teams abandon their new ‘power 5’ schools in the dust to create a 20 team league with most of the acc. That would actually be pretty intriguing if you take the top 2/3 of both of those conferences to compete with the big ten and sec. It would really start to close the gap.

Yep…..ESPN wants to either preserve the ACC or find a way to poach its most valuable properties to the SEC (Clemson, Miami, UNC, FSU, NCSU)

Brasky could go back to the Big XII now and win their conference and give them their only shot at a playoff

They're getting drunk and laughing about the clusterfuck happening while counting their money and talking about corn

HA!! Imagine being an FSU fan.

I’ll pass. Thanks.
