    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    They aren’t exactly best buds with the Feds right now and if/when PCSA gets passed, NFL is best served cooperating with CFB if CFB makes more money by doing so. No difference for NFL to move Saturday games from 3rd to 2nd weekend in December and Feds could facilitate that as required.

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    My counter was primarily done to highlight the vast challenges with trying to squeeze in a 24 team playoff so that it completes by January 10th. Your proposed schedule highlights the exact same issues described in Dellenger’s article. A 16 team playoff can accommodate 2 Friday night and 6...

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    Your proposal here has two major issues => jamming 8 games in one day and too many (and unnecessary) conflicts vs NFL games. And if you have QF games at bowl venues, one week of prep for fan travel to those venues will drastically decrease attendance for those games.

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    Another compelling reason for 7x10 and 16 team CFP: CFP and TV consultants are now realizing that a 24 team CFP isn’t going to really work calendar wise. And not mentioned is the elimination of determining conference champs and potentially moving up season ending rivalry games like Ohio State...

    You would be better served checking out the merry go round of FB and MBB HCs and the transfer portal exodus from both schools since they got kneecapped by Fox and the B10. JP has publicly stated they got destroyed and he is absolutely correct. The posters here claiming they haven’t are totally...

    Ah yes, the B10 and SEC know all about puppeteering:

    Sorsby, Campbell surrender so fast!!!

    Yeah, they are the defending FB champs but calling them the premier program in the B12 is prematurely hyperbolic. But he is definitely correct that the Yormark led response tactics were impressive.

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    You're badly missing the boat on the fact that 5-10 years ago, deep pocketed streamers like Amazon weren't positioned to be viable bidders, the likes of CBS and NBC weren't positioned with Paramount+ and Peacock (as well as not having conference network ties) and CFP access has been completely...

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    Houston doesn't do diddly squat for TV ratings on their own even if they are Top 25. Any favorable ratings for them is function of who they're playing or a time slot with minimal competition. Home attendance generally correlate with TV ratings. It was a mistake for the B12 to add commuter...

    If you would have attended the ISU game at Houston in 2024, even you would have realized that adding them was a mistake. It was an embarrassment for ISU and the B12 with that atmosphere and lack of fans. And Houston followed that up last season when they somehow got ranked in the Top 25 for...

    According to this, the amendment was somehow a concession to the B10/Fox. Not sure how that helps the B10/Fox off the top of my head.

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    This was done to protect lower tier ACC and B12 schools from being left out in a potential B12/ACC merger or the B12 poaching the ACC in 2031 when ACC exit fees get reduced and TV rights follow the school. Hopefully the bill doesn't preclude the B12 from somehow rectifying the mistake of adding...

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    As previously posted, ESPN and Fox initially gained excessive control of the sport by reaching conference network deals with the SEC and B10 when cable subs were still growing. Cable sub growth spurred the initial round of consolidation/realignment (e.g. Rutgers to B10). Additional...

    Steak de Burgo - It's an Iowan Tradition.

    Years ago. It was ok but as posted before, it’s generally dressing up a less than premium cut of steak.
