    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    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...

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    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...

    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

    Separate argument But pooling benefits much more akin to 3x24 than 7x10 Let me help you. In order of revenue and scheduling optionality, but all pooled: 1x72 3x24 7x10

    4 weeks of unconstrained scheduling to create top matchups vs 13 weeks of unconstrained scheduling to create top matchups Everyone, but one, knows which is more popular and hence makes more money…and more sense

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    Texas and OSU are elites that draw well in any premium window against nearly any P4 opponent. For now, while P4 has meaning from decades of peer status. The P2 networks should want to preserve that, or increase P2 size. Other than the 20-25 elites ND AD alluded to, most P4 schools are filler...

    Once more, no one is disregarding quality regional matchups in a setup that prioritizes creating good matchups There’s nothing questionable about it. You do realize the connection between money and ratings, correct? The majority of fans want top matchups, which can include notable regional...

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    Has the Big 12 ratings at 16 been better than ratings at 10? Don’t we have more winning teams? Realignment has resulted in brand consolidation into P2 conferences, with unequal scheduling. Both aspects mean more potential for big brand matchups, although the unequal schedules biased towards tv...

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    How do you not understand that any format that doesn’t annually and intentionally place top brands against each other is suboptimal revenue? 3x24 facilitates this because it’s inherently unequal scheduling, and concentrating top brands into two of those conferences. Much easier to have more...

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    At current levels, they don’t need leading pockets. Clearly it helps, but Football is too developmental/nuanced to not have annual exceptions in both directions. Transfer rules, roster size, are as important, if not more, to preserving recent parity. But if Tech of worlds can spend with top...

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    What IU did isn’t unique to IU, or even to P2. IU’s resources weren’t more than Tech (or several other M2 the last two seasons). A fact that has P2, particularly SEC, upset and trying to change rules A school with an elite staff, and moderately high cash, that exploits player mobility, can have...

    It would make more, but single seller leverage has its limits. And scheduling can’t be on 7x10
