It’s crazy to me that Lucky Charms made the final 4. Of the overly sugary cereal I would eat as a kid, I would rank Froot Loops, Fruity Pebbles, and Trix all ahead of Lucky Charms.

I used to have Lucky Charms as an after school snack (like 5th grade with metabolism) and I think that hits harder in that context than the other ones.

There's absolutely no way that this isn't something they've taken into consideration. Too much money riding on it to let something like projected viewership slip past their notice. If the Big 10/SEC move forward with the Big 2, it will be because they have solid data backing the decision. They're definitely not dumb. You don't drop a nuke on the college sports landscape without being very sure that you're going to come out the other side in as good or better of a position.

I think they said the same thing about the NBA and MLB and viewership has tanked. Careful how you handle your fans, especially college. College is still and always will be a regional sport.

This is what the big guys don’t get. They think they can just secede, and they’ll keep rolling on the never ending gravy train? Just who do they expect to play to pad their 10-win seasons every year?

I'll add my two cents to the pizza cutter controversy.

I almost never bought frozen pizzas so I didn't have a pizza cutter after my last move. Due to We Will, I have had 8ish frozen pizzas since they came out. The first two I used a knife to cut. Absolutely sucked. Bought a pizza cutter. Worth the $6. The pizza pan is handy too.

Unless I'm sharing a frozen pizza with someone, there's no need to cut it.

Unfortunately, the casual sports fan will only concentrate on what the big boys tell them is important. And they (along with plenty of ISU fans that like other sports) will pay for their bundled product to see the other stuff. Big XII and ACC getting cut out will not be enough for 98% if general sports fans to stop subscribing.

I wish it were true. I hope it's not true. But this nagging feeling of eventual forced inconsequencial-ness feels like it's hanging over the heads of non-BIG and SEC schools.
