Dear StateofIowaFan10,
Im writing this message as a cease and desist, as the name you’ve chosen July 25, 2021 is far too close to mine, and will likely get confused with my own username “Statefan10”. I ask that you do so swiftly, as I’ve been an active member of this community for years and don’t need people getting me confused with you and your takes.

nuttttttttty
was a connection made between Scarlett Johannson and Bezo's rocket??
Ugh. Need a cease and desist from talking about Bezos’ rocket.
An undeniable law of physics when it comes to college football (or basically any form of competition) is that one team's success must come at the expense of another team. And this simple law of physics is the fatal flaw of the superconference.
The "blue blood" programs became blue bloods because they had a long history of success in their respective conferences. They achieved this long history of success because their conferences included weaker programs.
When you stack these blue blood programs into the same conference, the majority of them will no longer enjoy that degree of success. Their fans will become unhappy and their coaching staff will turn over. Of course, all these blue blood programs think they'll still be successful, but it's mathematically impossible.
Having many conferences stocked with programs of varying levels of success is vital to the ecosystem of college football. ESPN and the SEC have just destroyed this ecosystem because they no longer feel that $50+ million per year in TV revenue is satisfactory.
College football as we know it is about to die and greed will be the cause of death.

ESPN and the SEC were banking on getting 5 teams from that league into the 12-team playoff every year and having that be sufficient to keep fans happy. If you go 9-3 and finish 3rd in your division as a blueblood, you’re probably still happy if you convince yourself it’s because you play all the good teams that matter, and ESPN talking heads push for you to get in the playoff over the 11-2 ACC or Pac-12 runner up.
Meanwhile, ESPN and the SEC have also ostracized an enormous number of major universities across the nation and their fan bases by denying them a seat at the big boy table. Apathy will soon follow.
Yeah it's either a troll job, an attempted veiled insult, or someone that just doesn't quite know what they are talking about.
Not when ESPN is blowing 1 trillion tons of sunshine up everyone's *** 24 hours a day.
It seems the comparisons to entertainment wrestling, bowling, and nascar are appropriate. If your sport is successful due to a bunch of highly regionalized and personalized teams/players/fans, consolidating the most successful teams/players into a single league or two can and will decrease the number of people who care about it - lowering the interest and engagement in the activity as a whole.
Media entities, due to greed, are acting against one of the key value drivers of college athletics - the volume of highly regionalized teams with passionate and engaged fans. Athletic directors and university leadership at these institutions are, for the most part, just taking direction from these media entities instead of making decisions based on broader institutional values and their mission as extensions of the universities they are attached to.

While this is almost certainly true. We would also be in a world of hurt in this case.
Oh for sure. My national interest in CFB is pretty much gone at this point and I think that will be true for a lot of people..
Thanks ESPN
This dude just throws **** at the wall to see what sticks.
Oh so everyone else on here can post this idiot on here but I can’t?? I bite my thumb sir.
