Yeah this seems like 30 teams to many

Oh thank God - somebody on the Internet says K-State might get to sit at the big boy table.

A few more days without yet another one of these threads, and this board might have fallen to pieces.

but you see your 30-team scenario will end up in court or congress, like nil. you can't cut off half or two thirds of the country's universities from participating in the national sport. that has never made sense from a fundamentals point of view. nor can you have ucla soccer flying to nyc to play rutgers - for long anyway. in commerce, the fundamentals have to be right for the game to be played, so to speak.

If K-State had a snowball's chance of being in the Big 30, you would write a gasbagging manifesto about how it makes all the sense in the world. And if they were outside the Top 70 looking in, you would squeal like a stuck pig about how that's a terrible plan that's certain to fail.

But yeah, it's all about the economic fundamentals.

Don't wait by the mailbox for the invite to the P2. It won't be coming. 😂

no i would not. i am a realist. i have done this sort of m&a stuff most of my career. if the fundamentals are not right, stuff just doesn't come together.

I can only hope to God that I never owned stock in any of the entities you were evaluating. Imagine having due diligence performed by an attention-starved egomaniac who can convince himself of anything.

Why would the Big 12 scabs like Cincinnati Houston UCF etc get in the 70 team league?
Also why would the lower performing teams in Big 10 and SEC want to be open to being in Tier 3 and receiving less in payments? This only is good for the scabs in the Big 12 and SEC.

Nothing prevents the remaining schools from competing on their own. K State and the Big 12 can join the NAIA

Private equity will f up college sports on a level that makes nil look like simple child's games.

Hard pass on this bs.
