It is definitely better than a a 4-4-2-2-1-3, but I still feel like it elevates the B1G and SEC too far over the ACC/B12. Maybe it would be fine since the ACC is going to take a big hit at some point in the next few years. That might allow the B12 the clout to get even (or closer too it). Anyway, it seems there is little hope for equality. Maybe we could work them down to something like 5-5-4-4-2-4 (24 total). Unlikely though.

I very much hate the subjectivity of the committee so I'm honestly starting to buy in to a world where auto-bids might be a better plan. At least for now.
 
The big problem is how the teams are selected. There is so much money and politics in the game anymore that it can't really be objective and unbiased. I think the RIGHT model is one that does an appropriate RPI style calculation for SoS and ranking without including subjective, biased, or past season data. Good luck getting that though. Especially with the smaller sample size compared to basketball.

Unfortunately I think the best we are going to get is an AQ model that is as favorable to the Big 12 and ACC as possible. The G6 is likely screwed. If they can negotiate only one less bid (like 5-5-4-4-2-4) I think that would be ideal for the big 12. However, I think it more likely one of the proposed models will happen with the Big 12 and ACC getting two less auto-bids. I think the B1G Commish might be intent on have the B1G/SEC with 50% of the bids. Every model he has proposed has had that.
 
KU looked good. I know it was Fresno, but they just flat out took care of business. If Daniels stays healthy, they’ll be a big problem. Honestly, our conference needs KU to be good. They already have a traditional powerhouse in basketball, just upgraded their stadium, another $300 million donation and the campus is beautiful. They have a great foundation to be a solid football program in the Big 12 and we need that.

Trying to move to a January only portal window, which I think is a good idea.

After the Pavia decision though, you have to wonder if any policies will hold up if challenged in the right courtroom. The redshirt rule is currently being challenged fyi, so if the court overrides it, would the portal window face a similar fate?

Seems like the precedent is just finding the right judge and then the NCAA doesn’t have a leg to stand on. Further, if athletes are employees, can you legally restrict their movement in the name of earning money?
