    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    The streaming entities didn't make high enough offers to make a significant switch to streaming worthwhile (e.g. Amazon sublicense bid to B10/Fox; Apple bid to PAC). That Apple bid was not high enough to keep the PAC together regardless of any aversion to streaming at that time. Without access...

    Iowa State Uniform Discussions (update: new basketball unis)

    My preference would be Cincy's Nike shoulder stripes. ISU's 5 stripe look is not good at all.

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    The reason the Amazons, Apples and Googles haven't jumped in is two fold: 1) ESPN and Fox, via their realignment manipulation, have hoarded all of the top brands into the 3 conferences they 100% own (B10, ACC & SEC) with the exception of Notre Dame. 2) Without access to regular season...

    ....would also be bad for revenue growth.

    Budget Shortfall

    I suggest you conduct an internet search on the financial condition of the Rutgers, UCLA and Minnesota athletic departments.

    …..and it would be no different than the NFL which is now on 4 OTA networks as well as Peacock, NFLN, Amazon and Netflix. And the NBA is going to be on 2 OTA networks in addition to Peacock, Amazon and NBATV.

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    Nah, it’s more likely you and others will be proven wrong. The money is too great to pass up and as noted in Dellenger’s tweet, everyone in the industry except for Sankey and Pettiti are beginning to publicly acknowledge the huge financial benefits of media rights pooling and the two little...

    Yeah and every other rational FBS commissioner.

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    Making significantly more money with media rights pooling for the SEC and B10 and the rest of P4/G5 is far more important than retaining the SEC/B10's selfish competitive advantage. And the Feds will insure that, if absolutely required. And G5 schools can make significantly more money with...

    SEC/Big10 Pushing for 16 Team Playoff

    Sure they influence the Committee to some extent and they reference various computer rankings available to help formulate their rankings although they don't publicly acknowledge how so. And that is reflected in the alignment (with the notable exception of ASU/Boise) between the final Committee...

    SEC/Big10 Pushing for 16 Team Playoff

    I am referencing the composite of the six BCS computer rankings which can serve as a sanity check to what the Committee does. Below is the Top 25 of the composite ranking as of last December after the CCGs were played (CFP rank in parentheses) If this was used instead of the Committee...

    SEC/Big10 Pushing for 16 Team Playoff

    The B12 and BYU certainly cared about the ACC schedule last season, especially SMU's who got beat by BYU at home and then proceeded to play an 8-game ACC schedule that was similar in poor quality to what Indiana played in the B10. Like Indiana, they ran up the score vs inferior opponents which...

    SEC/Big10 Pushing for 16 Team Playoff

    And if they don't. there is no 5+11 and the CFP format likely stays as-is through the end of the decade.

    SEC/Big10 Pushing for 16 Team Playoff

    Agree, especially if/when the SEC goes to 9 conference games to facilitate the 5+11 format. And they will need to figure out how the ACC can also go to 9 conference games. My solution would be for them to add effin Memphis since the B12 won't (and shouldn't).

    Starting 5 and rotation

    The rotation utilized is going to be driven by two things that are TBD: 1) Who replaces Tamin when he is out? Will that be Toure or will someone else emerge (Batemon, Nelson or Heise) who can adequately facilitate the offense along with Jefferson when Tamin is on the bench. If Batemon, Nelson...
