BahahhahahhahahahahahahhhahhahahahhahahaaTo join the SEC? Got to think the four blue bloods will make the decision together.
I think this may actually be the end goal. Instead of a Power 5, there will eventually be a Power 2 - SEC and B1G, with at least 20 schools in each -and they will tell the NCAA to take a long walk off a short pier.The only way the B1G reaches a deal with the SEC is to form a new super league together that is independent of the NCAA. Kind of an NFL version of college football.
Whatever happens the NCAA needs to go away or be stripped of most power. The amount of money they make and spend is just completely not needed. Then to do anything takes them years and after that long time they get it wrong more than right.I think this may actually be the end goal.

Doesn't change the fact they suck. LOLI'll never understand this argument.
The NCAA is the schools own elected police. They vote for them every year and get exactly what they want which is a spineless toothless watchdog.
It essentially took our worthless government to allow for NIL.
The NCAA only makes its money from referees and the men's basketball tournament. They don't get a dime from football.

UM and Neb need to win before they become desirable. Blue blood doesn't have much meaning anymore.To join the SEC? Got to think the four blue bloods will make the decision together.
Why do you think any of the teams you mentioned would go to the SEC? Have you been smoking too much weed lately?To join the SEC? Got to think the four blue bloods will make the decision together.
Dude this is so dumb.To join the SEC? Got to think the four blue bloods will make the decision together.
Michigan been winning more than texass .. it’s not all about winning unfortunately, it’s about brand name…UM and Neb need to win before they become desirable. Blue blood doesn't have much meaning anymore.
Precisely. It is about the brands and uniforms that attract eyeballs to flat screen TVsMichigan been winning more than texass .. it’s not all about winning unfortunately, it’s about brand name…
Can someone please explain that to the Clone that posts on here?Precisely. It is about the brands and uniforms that attract eyeballs to flat screen TVs
The playoffs are an ncaa property, so they absolutely make a ton from football.I'll never understand this argument.

The FCS playoffs are, but the CFP is a separate entity. There is no FBS NCAA championship.The playoffs are an ncaa property, so they absolutely make a ton from football.
Are you really trying to say that the athletics department as a whole cannot function without NCAA payments? Where does the NCAA get it's money from?The FCS playoffs are, but the CFP is a separate entity. There is no FBS NCAA championship.
The thing that people lose sight of is the administrative costs of all of this. Yes football is the meal ticket for the universities but not the NCAA.
For example, the NCAA men's basketball tournament is mostly funded by the NCAA. Most travel, hotels, per diem etc those expenses are either paid for by the NCAA or the NCAA reimburses expenses up to a certain dollar amount. Same for all NCAA sanctioned championships.
If you want to see the end of Nebraska baseball, softball, track, soccer, swimming etc, get rid of the NCAA, the expenses alone would eat up the athletic department. The basketball tournament would be pointless if those 64 teams broke away from the NCAA, either everyone would qualify or you would have a much smaller tournament, with teams that have played each other multiple times already. Like it or not the NCAA serves a purpose.
Bargaining power and competition.I'd love to scrap athletic conferences altogether, and get back to a more regional scheduling model, with a true 16 or 32 team playoff at the end of the season.
I think the non-revenue sports will go that way soon. The travel costs for sports like women's basketball, softball, soccer, volleyball, baseball, wrestling, etc. would be much cheaper if they mostly played closer schools within driving distance. Why fly all the way to Rutgers or Maryland, when they could instead just take a bus to play KU, ISU, KSU, Creighton, Missouri, Wichita State, etc.
You could still have academic conferences like the Big Ten Academic Alliance, I don't see why athletics would have anything to do with that.
I am saying those costs are spread out and shared by 300 schools. At some point it becomes cost prohibitive if they are spread out over only 65 schools and 22 sports.Are you really trying to say that the athletics department as a whole cannot function without NCAA payments? Where does the NCAA get it's money from?
Something there doesn't add up for me.
Now I do think sports like softball and track, swimming etc most of them, don't bring in much if anything to the university, and I would be fine if those programs were cut.
But to think that somehow an outside organization is subsidizing the country's sports programs, makes me think they are taking a big cut of something somewhere in order to do that.
it's just better week in and week outAll I know is the more CFB moves away from its traditional norms, the more I become an NFL fan. And that's not me being critical of what CFB is doing as it seems inevitable that the rah rah traditions of the past are over and not coming back. Lately I've just enjoyed watching the NFL more.

I feel exactly the opposite. Watching wealthy businessmen (uh-huh, the coaches, athletes and team executives) ram their SJW-mentality down the fans throats makes me gag. Yes, I know colleges do it as well, but the "student"-athletes aren't wealthier than the fans. Watching rich people virtue-signal on how distraught/offended they are that the world isn't fair is repugnant beyond measurement.All I know is the more CFB moves away from its traditional norms, the more I become an NFL fan.

I can watch football without getting butthurt over politics. You're going to be worm food and long forgotten and the world is still going to be arguing over politics and race issues. I'm going to watch the Chiefs, etc and live my life and not worry about people who use terms like "SJW" and "virtue-signal." It's all a giant mind-f--k whatever side you're on. I'm 47 and don't have time to waste on nonsense when I can be enjoying the shit out of life.I feel exactly the opposite.

Cancel Culture has reached sports. Too many changes daily to keep up with.The FCS playoffs are, but the CFP is a separate entity. There is no FBS NCAA championship.

We're talking blue bloods here. Run along.Only a Nebraska fan could put Nebraska in with that group.
