It looks like a lot of fun. Even that first round has some big name teams with histories of being competitive. Potential is there for the Big 12 to have a basketball tournament on the level of the old Big East.

It's usually not when money/greed is put ahead of everything else.

Not sure how you can say that This is the first time that a P5 school goes down to a G5

I seriously doubt the Mountain West becomes a p5 and if they do. The money won’t be the same

Perhaps the MWC could add them and hope to leverage the NCAA to make them a P5 conference.

College basketball has been undervalued for quite a while now. I think we'll see the money balance out over the next decade or so.

Academia, the loudest voices about climate change, have sanctioned these idiotic super conferences where Olympic sports and women's soccer are going to travel four to five time zones in a jet airplane all for the almighty dollar.

What's their carbon footprint going to be?

Universities have no room to stand upon critiquing the actions of an oil company. They're no different.

You shouldn't be downvoted.

College sports used to be a regional thing.

Throw that out the window and spin out on it.

No, I'm not thrilled.

I'd rather go back to the original Big12, but that ain't happening.

There's no question all of this is bad, on balance, for the whole nation in terms of college football.

The Big Ten and the SEC are better off, but everyone else is worse. PAC 12 will either collapse or become a mid major type conference. The Big 12 took in some refugees who didn't have options from bigger conferences, but the Big 12 is not better off than before realignment began.

Nobody is winning here except the handful of elite schools in the 2 power conferences. It's not better for 90% of D1, it's definitely not better for fans, not better for the sport in general.

Of course, the people whose pockets are lined by all of this are the ones calling for the votes.

I guess you all could create a cesspool thread titled "How College Conference Realignment Triggers My Delicate Political Sensibilities". :shrug:

True

I was rereading on the College Football Association, Ncaa doing the tv co tracts.

The NCAA threatened any team or conference that worked with the CFA with penalties. This led to the Supreme Court decision in 1984 allowing teams and conferences to negotiate on their own behalf

This started the dominoes to fall and where we are today

Yeah kinda, but the reality is that TV/Streaming money is what really created the tidal wave. And then, greed took over.

Streaming is new. Only been around for a year or two

But if you’re talking about tv money that started because of the CFA and the Supreme Court decision.

It wasn’t around in the 90s and 2010

Yiu can say the greed started back thrn. Planting the seeds

The PAC 12 network wasn’t streaming
The ACC network wasn’t streaming
The Longhorn network wasn’t streaming
The Big 10 10 network wasn’t streaming

The SEC ACC B10 12 are not streaming tv contracts

Interesting from Peter King’s column today:

I think it’s been enlightening to ask coaches and execs, anonymously, in several camps what concerns them most on the football landscape. The two most common answers: college football and gambling.

My big question about the college football crisis is: When did the NCAA just abdicate all responsibility about the future of college football and hand it to TV networks?

One club executive told me that’s the big problem. “It’s the wild west in college football now,” he said. “The NCAA has disappeared as a governing body. We used to have important conversations with them about rules and stuff that’s really important to the future of the game. Not now.”
