Good points and a fascinating what if. Saban probably does get Bama rolling and fixes the culture.
I just think Texas is a poison pill to everything they touch. They’ll throw their weight around the SEC before long
Agree. And it sounds like something as simple as the SEC refusing to go to 9 conference games would cause a split. There's no way the B1G agrees to any kind of scheduling alliance if they're schools are playing 9 conference games and the SEC keeps only playing 8.
Or if saban would have just stayed at the first P5 program that hired him as a HC lol
Why not go back a little further and build up future B1G member and multiple BCS champion Toledo?
He probably does take MSU to high highs. Would you rather have Saban’s What if or Dantonio’s known achievements?
Oh dantonio easily, when saban was around I wasn’t close to going to college yet let alone a Sparty fan.Why not go back a little further and build up future B1G member and multiple BCS champion Toledo?

I mean who knows what happens to the Dolphins if they give Saben Drew Brees like he wanted instead of Culpepper. And if Ricky Williams passed his drug test and they drafted the player first Saben wanted instead of a new RB.
Btw for the people dumbing the comment about private equity ruining everything I’m guessing you’re totally fine with the state of healthcare in this country? They legit ruin everything they touch just to enrich themselves.

You sound like the fan of a team, that knows what is coming, but is trying to talk yourself into reasons that it will not happen.
Unequal shares will happen when the Ohio States and Michigan's of the conference want it, either that or they will blow up the conference.
What I find amazing is how fans of B10 schools think they are above of this, and that their schools and conference is only out for the little guy and the betterment of the league, and want to keep playing by those same rules.
Yeah, it's dumb to state PE ruins everything they get involved in even if they may have hosed up some elements of the healthcare industry.Btw for the people dumbing the comment about private equity ruining everything I’m guessing you’re totally fine with the state of healthcare in this country?

This is an interesting way to do things and I would think it would be beneficial for a collectively bargained system to keep the top teams happy. Maybe base some off the past 5 years of performance to allow teams to better forecast and budget overall too. You could have another pot for tv ratings/appearances too. Maybe 70% is a base, 20% performance, and 10% is television appearances.
Again most likely have a bias from having a pretty stable conference for a very long time. Similar to the Big12 bias that everything is just going to continue to get worse and you can’t for a second understand that not everyone has that view.
Never said that the conference is out for the little guy, however the conference up to this point has always operated as doing what’s best for the whole.
Again, different biased but I get where you’re coming from. Not worried about sparty or Michigan and I’m happy that all the plans being laid out are seemingly for all the current P4 teams. Don’t want to see Bailey left behind that is serious about sports.

I don't think admitting UO and UW at half shares through the rest of the decade while USC & UCLA get full shares is doing what's best for the whole conference.
Sure it is. Kept payments to all existing members the same. The could have just said no and left them homeless with the other PNW schools. Same thing happened when when the conference added Rutgers and Maryland.
The B12 didn't operate in that manner when the 4Cs were added. Existing members took a cut to promote payout parity and do what was best for the B12, unlike the B10.
Not sure if I need to explain the difference between the big tens situation and the Big12’s during realignment…I know you’re smarter then this despite our disagreements
I really don't see any difference. Both conferences added 4 schools from PAC destruction by Fox/B10. Both were working in the framework of new TV deals.
It appears to me that the existing B10 schools & USC (who orchestrated B10 expansion with Fox) are being greedy bastards relative to the UO and UW additions.
Or if somehow you’re 4 corner schools plus the PNW and cal/standford are all able to get 30+ million in their new conferences it’s actually the horrific Pac12 leadership that’s to blame. If they had remotely competent leadership that could put a deal on the table (they never did) they could have just stayed and made the exact same.
But the Pac12 is the most mismanaged conference in history and was destroyed by their own idiocy
The caveat you stated that I have bolded is the crux of this whole thread. If it is sustainable, except for all the G5s and the poorer P4s.
To put it in a more specific statement, it is sustainable for the Big 10 and the SEC.
You are on a message board for a team in one of the “poorer P4” conferences. Don’t be surprised when the majority of the people here agree with your statement that it is not sustainable for Iowa State.
