    Conference Realignment - What's next?

    ND will take them all to court for antitrust violations before they ever join a conference as a full member. As long as ND has direct access to the CFP they will be football independents, if that access closes, they will go to court. If the ACC collapses, they will move their non-FB sports back...

    Conference Realignment - What's next?

    I'm not sold there are more than 3 teams the P2 will care about from the ACC, definitely not more than 4. I believe we are on shaky ground with NIL and need to have some great seasons leading up to 2030.

    Conference Realignment - What's next?

    Nothing will happen immediately. There is still no real evidence that anyone in the ACC brings money to the table for the P2. Oregon/Wash had to accept reduced shares with the Pac-12 future ahead of them, FSU would be taking a pay cut with reduced shares. In a good season they'll be banking over...

    Which ones? We couldn't afford those great teams Eddie and Sean put together today.

    NIL all in on 2 draftable guys. Build around them the best you can with what's left.

    Conference Realignment - What's next?

    That Sac State committee is official now with a couple of state politicians, CEOs, etc. https://sactownsports.com/ncaa-sacramento-state-football-pac-12-mountain-west-committee/ I think their attempt to push a PAC 12 narrative is to oversell and land in the rebuilt Mountain West. That makes...

    Conference Realignment - What's next?

    I was reading on the Athletic that they are hoping for a media deal between $10-$12 million per school. There was also talk of them looking to shore up basketball by trying to go after Gonzaga and potentially Wichita State if they managed to get someone like Memphis. Other articles point to the...

    Conference Realignment - What's next?

    I like the idea of creating a best-of-the-rest eastern division. 12 teams, divide them up the way the old Big 12 was and it cuts down on travel. I think you have to have at least 2 if not 3 Texas schools in it. So UTSA, UNT and maybe Texas State. Then Memphis, Tulane, and USF. Maybe FAU instead...

    Conference Realignment - What's next?

    https://knightnewhousedata.org/fbs/mwc 2023 athletic expense numbers San Diego State - $96.6 million Colorado State - $64.4 million Boise State - $58.2 million Fresno State - $51.7 million San Jose State spent $44.5 million. I'd expect the new PAC 6 to make $50 million a minimum expected...

    Conference Realignment - What's next?

    If the PAC 2 dissolved and merged into the MWC, OrSU & WSU would forfeit much of the leftover cash from PAC 12 and it would be distributed evenly among the former PAC 12 schools. They could've conducted a reverse merger, bringing the entire MWC into the PAC. The reasoning behind that is the PAC...

    Conference Realignment - What's next?

    The ESPN/ACC re-up deadline is February 2025 to continue the contract past 2027. So, that is looming. I still haven't seen a reason presented why ESPN would reject the extension. PAC 2 has asked for an extension from the NCAA, but they don't have 2 more years at this moment. In all likelihood...

    Page needs to try growing out his hair and ditching the neck beard. These are the important things.

    Head Coach Steve Lutz

    Hmm. For some reason I assumed coaching interviews were probably a little more discreet than flights into town with full on tours. I assumed they are sent some type of print package or video package detailing the facilities for them.

    Who Should OSU Hire as Next Basketball Head Coach?

    It is if you want to recruit the portal. We'll be worse than 12 wins next year if we wait until May.
