I guess I can take down my "Go Fund Me" page.
Here we go
Why does this sound like what the top European soccer league clubs attempted a couple years ago?This is what the Dennis Dodds article was talking about. I posted it in Key Tweets half hour after it went live, but it was a key tweet. Note, the vision isn't just FSU. It's buying out several key programs, Oregon, Washington, Clemson, whoever is not in SEC or B1G, and building a conference from that.
Third-party influence may soon shake foundation of college football impacting conferences, programs
How does a new conference financed with a $1 billion investment sound to you, college football fan?www.cbssports.com
It's more like LIV Golf. The only reason you need the PE $ is the GOR and conference buyouts have to be funded. But the PE people would take a portion of the TV deal. The Conference wouldn't really just be a partnership of schools, it would be privately owned. Schools would lose a lot of control.Why does this sound like what the top European soccer league clubs attempted a couple years ago?
And who would they play beside each other? The other schools can rally together and block them out entirely. FSU is just a petulant child at this point.It's more like LIV Golf.

Liked because I think this is sarcasm, and that you are not really a choad and a greedy idiot.Private equity has never made anything worse! This is a great idea!
This will be the only way to stop this nonsenseWhen do fans stop watching?

FSU thinks they are worth more than they are like 70% of the "power" teams. If you're not bringing national championships or a large TV market, then you are basically a freeloader. This is the only way conferences could work under the current model. A couple of breadwinners at the top to pay for all of the other schools that could disappear tomorrow with little impact.
But are they really ready to do something? IMO their's no need to talk, if you have conviction, just do itI don't mind FSU being the bad guy...the whining is over...this was declarative..they will do what it takes. It's that or fans grumble for the next ten years about how they were shafted by realignment.
But FSU was the 15th most watched team in 2022
Back in the old days of Jan 1 bowl games and voted on titles, I never imagined things would get this insane. I really miss being able to just watch games and not constantly hear about money.
