Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

No more than the male athletes that will be cut, and have been cut, to make the balance sheet work

No way in hell Minnesota makes that cut. Nebraska and Wisconsin are both in limbo too.

If they keep consolidating, they’re going to remove the non blue bloods. There are less than 20 programs that will always be part of the highest level of college football unless there’s some kind of government intervention.

You're an idiot.

So you weren’t around when a couple Big 8 schools would backfill the men’s scholarships and take them off the balance sheet.

I am confident this bill has been vigorously studied regarding exposure to a potential Supreme Court ruling on anti-Super League and anti-expansion language. And SEC/B10 will have anti-trust exposure on their end with additional brand consolidation and relegation of 20-25 more ACC/B12 schools.

The lawyers are already chomping at the bit. Nothing new, but this legislation will be contested.

Also, even if the legislation was solid - what would prevent the Big10 or SEC adding schools prior to the legislation passing? Can't see it getting passed in the next few months and next year is a whole new ball game with Senate & House turnover. The Lobbyist better keep raising money from CC's ilk.

If this is perceived as the last realignment wave. Schools will pull an SMU to get into the Big10 or SEC before legislation passes. The conference media rights revenue difference between Big10/SEC vs Big12/ACC is too big.

If ESPN & FOX are evil as you say, they'll make it happen.
