Miami will suffer a slow death. Killing Miami for good is much more appealing to them than whatever negligible revenue either league would gain by adding Miami.

Yes, you hope.

Miami/FSU will be a package deal like USC/UCLA and the package of UNC/Clemson will mirror the Oregon/Wa deal.

 

[rascon]

it’ll be 14 teams asap after this year (1-2 SEC snubs)

Sankey wants to be Goodell. 100%.

And if all this goes through, I hope his legacy is he took an absolute cash cow in NCAA football and drove it into the ground.

Sankey thinks VERY highly of himself

Mike Slive is the real force behind the rise of the SEC. Sankey just inherited what Slive built.

If the ACC could only get away from ESPN. Like when the NFC got to Fox from NBC.

Amazon or Netflix or Apple for big money. Dump the dead weight. Upgrade everything. Compete on a level playing field with SEC and B1G.

Just a dream. I know. Don’t attack. I am old. Can’t wait til 2036 or whenever. I will be dead. Literally.

To give you some perspective on how long it may take, Mario is interviewing the different conferences for the right fit.

College football is cooked.

I can't believe they'll maintain the same viewership when they cast aside 100 teams and fanbases. The NFL is doing everything it can to increase viewership and expand, and all their games average 50% more viewers on any given Sunday than the single most watched college game of the regular season. Yet, college football, run by the all knowing Sankey, is trying to consolidate into an infinitely smaller number of teams that are located in some of the smallest TV markets in the country.

This 100%. They are going to ruin the sport and make it very regional.

That's is why the B10 has taken the "national approach" with the goal of having teams from coast to coast, meaning the State of Florida is a huge priority.

It's the smarter idea

How does that bracket work? They’d have to reduce the 4 byes to 2. More logical choice would be move to 16.

You said it - Top 2 get byes (similar to NFL). And guess which conferences will get those byes GUARANTEED?

A page right out of the Adam Silver book "How to close a goldmine"

NCAA thinks that someone in Idaho is going to watch SEC football like they would an NFL game. I wouldn't give a fook about anyone outside of Miami if they were to make it a two conference league.
