An aside, during discussion about pronunciation of Dominykas Pleta: Brend is correct, as guided by Walters during the interview*, it is "Doh-minn-i-kus," but surname isn't "Pleeta," it's "PLAY-tuh."

17 team league can't play 9 conference games (17 × 9 = 153, which has to be an even number). You'd have to add another team and get to 18 and further dilute the pot or play 8 or 10 conference games.

Yeah they seemed to forget Notre Dame gets thrown in their as “a conference member” as well.

Also, @ChrisMWilliams the “Crabtree game” was Leach vs. Texas.

They could have a lottery for one team each season to get an 8 conference game schedule.

Indeed. Jake has been a great addition wherever he appears.

Is there a link to the College Football evaluations?

Is there a link to the College Football evaluations?

What are college football programs actually worth? Experts say from $1.65 billion to $0

What college football programs would sell for if they could go on the market is a much different question than what they're actually worth.

This, plus a few other reasons, are why adding Memphis makes no sense.

Of course over on two guys he capitulates to Hassel and agrees that it's dumb to turn them down.

Including that Memphis' offer was all theoretical money -- projections of potential sponsorship dollars. It's not like they walked into Yormark's office with a big check and he told them to pound sand.

Yeah that whole conversation was kind of insane. Complete opposite of how he spoke and thought about with Blum and Brend.

Boise State!?!? I have no idea why Hassel would think “that” would move any sort of needle when it comes national perception.
