Purdue has not made the CWS...nor has Maryland...Oregon did it once...Southern Cal..21...UCLA,,5.

The latest Baseball America Top 25.. Loaded with SEC.teams...(8) ACC (7). But USC and Oregon are there. As is Stanford for ACC.

I see that folks are reacting to Sankey mainly in regard to basketball....I see the P2 in football...but I just can't see a collapsing of basketball with that. Quality teams are too well spread though the college universe...SDSU, Gonzaga, Loyola, Nova, and on. A school can be competitive at an...

I was there before Bowden and I remember well...but you don't seed teams in a league based on what it might take decades to grow into (or never)....in the year that I graduated from high school (1964), FSU lost one game during the season and beat Oklahoma in the bowl. But Oklahoma wasn't the...

OT...but I was surprised to see that Caitlin Clark, #1 draft pick, gets $76,000 from the WNBA....of course she will make millions in endorsements...but is the WNBA that unprofitable ? I think sports other than football/basketball should be regional. Hockey tournaments without LSU, Bama...

Or football championships without BU, UTSA, UAB, Rice, New Mexico, Nevada, Hawaii, Wyoming, Arkansas State, TexasState,Troy, UTEP, UMass,etc. Wait...I can imagine that...

I’ve got an idea. Print out “QR” patterns next to each player’s name on the roster and on their jersey instead of conference patches. Zoom in with camera and click. Takes you straight to their account. Good plays can be rewarded. Maybe not a genius idea since fumbled and interceptions can...

I also think that football will eventually be separated from Olympic sports....maybe conferences for these sports can be regional...

The NCAA has its eggs in the BB basket. So little cost in football championships. FBS playoffs have no or negligible costs. Splitting into two tiers costs relatively nothing. For the NCAA, it is basketball that they run and monetize. They have lost football. I think forever.

And FCS playoffs are similar to bowl games…no real NCAA cost.

NCAA has no cost in football CFP. Been outside of NCAA for decades. I don’t see BB being so segregated.

Huh ? Sports leagues are athletic leagues. Media does not pay for USNWR. But it is a bragging right thing. And uni administrators like to rub elbows with peers.

They are still a couple of years away from building an experienced roster...maybe 10 wins in 2026.

Miami always wins the off season... But I do think they will win 8 this year...

The SEC had 10 bids this year...two ended in Elite 8. ACC had five bids...three in Elite 8 (and Virginia should not have had a bid). Sankey must not like that. Rather than more bids, maybe beating teams in the tourney is what the SEC needs.

Gotcha...I agree

And it's cutthroat now...the portal is open season. The big boys are tilting the table. The SEC now has a rule where no SEC school can take a transfer player from another SEC team. What that means...Alabama, Ole Miss, Georgia, Florida, LSU...they are all coming hard to buy players form other...

Talking basketball...completely different from football....oranges and cucumbers. Basketball...you can have SDSU, FAU, Wichita State, etc make the Final Four...putting an elite 11 man offense and 11 man defense on the field takes a lot more resources.

The Autonomous Five had already broken away from the G5 pack. Now the P5 is consolidating into the P2. I suspect that the end result will be another tier of FBS. Tier 1 being the P2…Tier 2 being everyone else. There could be three championship playoffs….FCS…FBS IA…FBS IAA. The more...

Miami may be in a good position to have really good football teams coming up. Their 2024 class is ranked number 5 and the 2023 # 8. They now have a pretty good QB. Defensive backs are the weakness. But…maybe the Canes can throw NIL money like beads at Mardi Gras.

Like the FCS teams did when the NCAA split FBS -FCS ? Sounds like they are really creating another division of FBS...Instead of two tiers..FBS..FCS...there would be three tiers..P2...FBS...FCS.. And it has, in reality, already happened.

Muntz..,when one gets personal and ugly, it is usually a sign of frustrations of losing a discussion. Bye now

Not wrong...a personal connection...many fly a USMC flag for a relative serving. A matter of personal choice...Me? I haven't worn USMC stuff...except for my Marine gold jump wings once to a reunion barbecue. What is wrong is to be one of the myriad of folks who claim to be an ex Seal, etc...

There have been sports boards posters who think that there are old line Tobacco Road honchos that would like to see UNC, Duke, NC State, Virginia hang together and emphasize basketball. Round ball is their #1...and some point to bringing along Wake Forest, VT. No real desire for BC/Cuse.

Gawd...sure it does Muntz...just enter any team from the MAC, Moutain West, Sun Belt if you don't like Akron... I do believe that there is regionality to football viewing....the Midwest probably watches the B!G and the South the SEC... But still.... The 50 most-watched games of the 2023...

No Muntz...it is predicated on facts...I think your thought is somewhat simplistic..JMHO. Hulu and YouTube TV are now probably the most successful sports streaming services...and these streaming services produce no content... Sure, Hulu can buy product produced like someone else (like Shogun)...

Streaming will not be some magic elixir that will change national interest in brands...there is now, and always will be niche interests for games like Kansas-Cincinnati (374 k watched on ESPN2). or App State- Georgia Southern (53k on ESPN2). There will be niche interest in the future....but...

I am not at all talking about linear vs streaming....transmission methods will change...national interest won't. Do you actually think that the 9 million watching FSU-LSU last year or the 8 million watching Alabama-Tennessee were all fans of those schools ? North Dakota State v Villanova in...

And ahead of most big Ten and SEC and Big 12 teams.

Louisville did finish in the top 20 last season… respectable.

Calford,SMU came in on a confluence of events....the ACC needing to immediately have teams on board to avoid ESPN calling in the Composition Clause if two teams left the conference before 2025...and having needy teams ready to not only pack their travelling shoes but play on the cheap... If you...

And people will watch marquee match ups over Akron vs Middle Tennessee....how they access the games may change...

FSU does play Bama, Texas A&M, and Florida in 2025.

And...why the ACC/ESPN fears a Florida court....precedent...and who ordered the documents be delivered ? Judge Cooper now presiding over FSU V ACC in Tallahassee...

and if FSU-Clemson don't take the deal...and if ESPN does not renew...the ACC GOR is dead and all schools can go wherever someone wants them...no penalty...no rights owned. The GOR states that rights are given to the ACC to meet the requirements of the ESPN contract...no contract ? It's...
