It would have been nice to go down the road and watch the Buckeyes too!
LSU is working on it. If their stadium gets to that size, I wouldn't bet against them filling the damn thing for baseball. Insane atmosphere

No MLB in state definitely helps like other SEC schools. Oh, and the nicer weather early helps.

Colorado, much as i hate to say it.
It's a weak conference, they have some mojo.
USC still has Grinch, the gift that keeps giving.
Oregon... we already know how well they handle this style of football.
Please god give me games where they send USC and Oregon to Madison and Minneapolis in November.
This may be the best thing from this realignment. Finally we can get some justice for decades of PAC playing Rose bowl in their own backyard.

Why stop expansion in the US? It is time to grab the University of Toronto.
We’ll even play their funny version of football once a year.

I distinctly remember UC promotions team self-proclaiming themselves as “Ohio’s Only BCS Team” back in like 2009 or so

Fully agree with Colorado! If Deion can bring in even a fraction of the talent he’s been bringing on an annual basis, then he should dominate the Big12. We may need to see some actual coaching chops, and they could determine if he runs the conference long term or not like Clemson in the ACC

This year ESPN will pay $1.1 billion for MNF. One-point-one BILLION for 18 3-1/2 hour broadcasts a year. They’re further paying $30 million just for Joe Buck and Troy Aikman.
That’s around $20 million per hour for prime time content, which is 10-times what other networks pay for original content.
The money in CFB still isn’t anywhere near as astounding as what it’s about to get in the next negotiating window as the B1G and SEC consolidate their power and add Texas, Oklahoma, USC, UCLA, Washington, and Oregon.

No idea the validity of this or legitimacy of the poster, but it does raise my eyebrows that FOX is now calling the shots.

Reading that whole thread is eyeroll inducing.
The muggles place way too much importance on football performance. That's largely a wash... no matter who is in the conference, you're going to have the same # of wins and losses.
There will be teams with 1, 2, 3 losses... and teams with 1, 2, 3 wins.
The real test is ... if you're a Rutgers, can you still deliver market share? Can you still offer prime recruiting territory that will go to that 1 loss team beating up on Rutgers every year ?
Clemson is a nogo from the start. They offer B1G nothing. Nothing at all.
I guess FSU is in Florida, but Tallahassee is a deadspot and ... just no...
There is more value in adding GTech; even though they suck on the field. It doesn't matter. What matters is that they can deliver Atlanta and Georgia has some amazing talent. The big downside to GTech, especially now, is that they're locally overshadowed by Georgia. GTech is not The flagship school in the state. But this is also a problem for FSU, and a bigger problem for FSU b/c ... well... Tallahassee may as well be Lubbock Texas.
UNC is The flagship in North Carolina. UVA is The flagship of Virginia. NCState and VTech are not on the same level - academically, financially, alumni, ... Neither state is as fertile for recruiting as Georgia, but they don't have to compete with Georgia in-State either.

I think it probably is time to break football away from the rest of college sports to make the lives of every other college athlete easier. I understand every coach from other sports complaining about flying from the east coast to the west coast to play a game. Say you are the Maryland women's bball team and you have to fly out to the west coast for a week or two to play all 4 west coast teams. If you're a player you have to go to class virtually and live out of a hotel. This is college where you go to get an education not a professional sport. Take football out of it and let the conferences go back to what they used to be. Old school Big 10, Pac 10, etc.
As far as football, go to a model similar to English soccer. Top 20 teams are in a Premier League with the next 20 teams being in a lower league on down the line. Every team gets to play 2 cupcake games and a rivalry game (must be within 1 division up or down) during the season so the MAC type schools still get their money and a game like The Game are protected. The 20 teams are broken into 2 groups where a team plays the other 9 teams in their group then the 2 champions play each other for the title. The bottom 4 teams drop down to the lower division every year and the top 4 teams in the lower division move up for the next year. Each league has their own TV deal so the top schools get the most money. Keep the bowl games and maybe even include them in the relegation process where you play a game to try to stay in your league so more of the bowl games have weight.
