The people calling him naive, and saying he doesn't understand the realities of college sports today, are the ones who screwed everything up.

Those people (e.g. Sankey) are puppets of ESPN and Fox who currently control the sport and want the status quo with no media rights pooling that would at least double media revenues for all of FBS if done correctly.

I think the idea of having the conferences negotiate with one voice is a good one and I think it should happen.

But I don’t think it will solve college football’s problems. Because even if you get more money, the lion share is still going to be going to the Big 10 and SEC

What about his proposal had to do with BYU and TTech owning the big 12? Not even the point of the article.

Because its all ********. Texas Tech and BYU will own the Big 12. Congress won't do ****. And if they do, it will heavily favor the SEC and Big 10. Congrats Cambell. You say you care as you shell out millions to your favorite school. Congrats Tech. You have richer fans who are willing to spend millions upon millions so their favorite teams can be good at sports. TV revenue, tickets, concessions, parking etc isnt enough to pay students athletes. Fans have to fork over millions more out of their own pockets.

It's very sickening to be honest.

Trust me, I'm not being spiteful. But, the way CFB is structured now, I'm genuinely and continuously losing interest. The scales strongly favor the money. All pro sports have some form of parity, but college has completely lost that. I'm managing to satisfy my curiosity without paying a dime and nothing I can see now is going to change that.

I don't care what Cody Campbell thinks, he is one of the big problems with college football.

I am going to assume you didn't bother to read the linked ESPN story.

Unfortunately, it is going to take Fed intervention to fix college sports, namely CFB, and Campbell is the guy to lead the bi-partisan efforts in doing so. If the he and the Feds are unsuccessful in doing so, ISU faces the real possibility of being financially relegated and destroyed at the end of the decade like Washington St and Oregon St already have. What he is proposing as the "fix" makes total sense and the ones who will fight him the most are ESPN and Fox and their respective puppets, Sankey and Petitti:

Pass a version of the combined SCORE/STAR Acts that would:
-Amend the 1961 Sports Broadcasting Act to enable media rights pooling that would at least double media revenues for all of FBS
-Grant a limited anti-trust exemption that would enable codification/enforcement of the House Settlement and provide the NCAA to enable/enforce its own transfer and eligibility rules without getting sued.

Then beyond that, Campbell has rightfully proposed rational geographic realignment that would split up the top brand programs into 7 10-team conferences amongst the existing P4. This would optimize revenue generation from media rights pooling with an NFL-style bidding process. Media revenues are obviously stifled now by ESPN/Fox due to their control of SEC and B10 rights for the foreseeable future and probable plans for additional brand consolidation to those two conferences. Nothing reflects the current idiocy and intentional revenue compression moreso than ESPN being the sole bidder of CFP rights and then sublicensing CFP games that conflict with the NFL in order to make money for their sole benefit.

Campbell has openly admitted he had the financial resources prior to the House Settlement to take advantage of pay for play for TT prior to the House Cap and has also stated multiple times the House Settlement needs to be codified for the long term benefit of college sports.

I would not overestimate the SEC's pull if this goes to federal level.

You've got a lot of states that are not represented in the Big 10 or SEC. Arizona, North Carolina, Virginia being a few of the larger ones.

And some big ones that have plenty of interest outside those conferences. For example,

Texas with Tech, Baylor, TCU, Houston, SMU
California with Berkeley, Stanford
Florida with Miami, Florida State, UCF

I did read the ESPN linked article. Many of the ideas that CC suggests make sense, and would probably even work well.

But Curt is correct...CC is part of the problem. He and the other billionaires that pump millions of $$$ into ADs and NIL are what create/drive the college sports arms race amongst the schools. Those type of guys have been doing the under-the-table stuff for decades (not saying CC was in any way involved in improper payments, but others have been--see the Ed Orgeron interview that was linked here recently), and it is just an order of magnitude worse now that NIL has come along.

Where’s his plan in the article. The only concrete thing I saw was the proposal to pool tv rights. Although I did skim since I wasn’t interested in reading a fluff piece about a Texas Oil billionaire

I get it.
He's playing the game for TT.
Much as I hate it, those are the rules at this point. (Wish we had someone like that for ISU.)

That said, he's also got the ears of powerful people who could address the cancer of Collegiate sports. And as such is probably one of the only hopes to do something before every Football playoff is 16 teams, 8 from the SEC, 7 from the Big 10, and either Notre Dame or a representative from the ACC or Big XII (for show purposes only). A point at which there is no reason to care.
