It’s okay because they never had a history of being peers
We’ll ignore that for many, that’s because of worse systemic barriers, ones that make the conditions the M2 are up against now seem fair

Stop pearl clutching over the loss of the PAC12. Their downfall was very much of their own doing. It also helped strengthen the floor of the Big 12. We're solidly a P4 conference because of it.
Nah, he just thinks so little of Iowa State that he's just convinced that ISU is peers with Wazzu and Oregon State
Okay, so you don’t understand the relationship between ratings and revenue, and think networks are donating money to schools
You see, when games draw more viewers, are more popular, the networks make more. They then pay the schools, that help draw these good ratings, more money
So, networks cluster schools that tend to draw these ratings into the same conference, and then schedule these schools to play each other. More viewers. More money. More popular
No one is ignoring that the M1 has been poached of these schools. It’s acknowledging that undoing the poaching doesn’t lead to more collective revenue
If you just want 7x10 because you want the old era back, regardless of it not representing as much money for the 70, just say that
You keep your idiotic posts coming, Purple Hawk.
Nobody suggested cutting back on G6 scheduling.
And if Cody had his way, G6 would be included in comprehensive FBS pooling and at least doubling their revenues.
How can the G6 get games if the 3 OOCs from the top 70 have to be optimized because you've tied up the last 9 with 7x10?
His plan is as poorly thought out as this disaster of a bill
A 7x10 that uses OOC to add needed quality matchups is going to mean decrease G6 v P7 games. Fine by all except G6 fans, the few that exist
Of course, a 3x24 can also use OOC just as readily to have quality OOC. Likely regional rivals.
If we’re honest, G6 is part of the coalition against P2 power consolidation, until that’s handled, then back to the scrap heap. Their main purpose to keep M1/2 from being at bottom of college football society
I'm starting to think cykadelic is Cody Campbell.
It’s funny to me that fans of schools who benefit from the current system disproportionately are huge fans of saying how it’s impossible to change.
Honestly I’d rather just see the top 20 “brands” go make the nfl-lite, and leave everyone else to make regional conferences with a playoff similar to FCS. I’m not as convinced as others that a small super league would fail.
The most likely situation is.. the bill gets tanked, ACC blows up in a few years, where Clemson/FSU types go to the P2, and the Big 12 absorbs the Louisville Pitt types.
We continue to have a permanent second class status as fans of a big 12 school.
Eventually the streamers come in for a bigger payday for conferences.
…Then in about 20 years,Texas, after achieving mediocrity, pulls their usual **** and blows up the SEC somehow, like the SWC/Big12.

Looks like you had better get with Sankey and Pettiti because they are making every attempt to balance out their upcoming schedules by having their teams actually play each other at least twice every 4-5 years. Still doesn’t fix the oversized imbalance on a year to year basis but why not make matters worse with your proposal to intentionally imbalance annually in an absurd 3x24 format with the potential of never playing a conference foe within a 10 year period and not determining a conference champion. I guess it could provide more entertainment for dip$hit casual fans.
Demonstrably, the games that get the most ratings involve Ohio State, Michigan, and those types of teams.
The “casual fan” doesn’t care about how frequently Iowa plays Penn State, or how it affects the fairness of the league championship.
I completely agree that a 24 team conference is really stupid from a competitive perspective.
Ohio State is going to play Michigan every year even if the B1G had 60 teams. That’s all that matters from a media rights revenue perspective.
You still haven’t explained why you think the bill is a disaster. Now if it is due to the SEC and B10 restrictions and how it may imperil an absurd 3x24 and USF, you’re full of $hit.
And 7x10 with every P7 team scheduling at least one strategic P7 non con opponent with one or two G6 games isn’t going to devastate the G6 given current non con scheduling across the P4.

The dude solidifies a GOAT coaching career and builds the CFB dynasty of all dynasties exploiting decades of SEC advantages in bag men and under-the-table pay to players, then when NIL and the portal come along evening out the playing field, he testifies how college football is now a race to the bottom.
Saban has always been a whiny little b*tch about things that take away his baked in advantages. Same way he cried about the early signing period when it was established, because he could no longer swoop in at the last minute and poach recruits.
Lol, f*ck him.
Saban is like Cody without the billions, he only cares because the current situation puts the school he likes at a disadvantage. Neither actually care they just want to save the one thing that matters to them. Bama is going to continue to struggle without all those advantages they used to have and it drives Saban crazy
