I mean related to college expansion. Boston College in the ACC seems so phony. Same with Missouri in the SEC. Has this effected your viewership?

Less phony than Maryland and Rutgers in the B1G.

It doesn't make me want to watch less though.

Why would Boston college in the ACC make Alabama-Auburn or LSU-Ole Miss or USC-Notre Dame or Ohio State-Michigan etc etc etc any less compelling?

Of all your complaints, you actually give a shite about BC in the ACC?

Go away.

CFB has gotten better with the playoff, IMO they should go to 6 teams and thats perfect. 1-2 get byes. 3 vs 6, 4 vs 5, puts emphasis on regular season.

Nebraska in the B1G is the weirdest for me. But no, it has not

How would those effect viewership?

Now targeting and constant booth reviews would and may have, but not expansion teams that don't fit.

Well, the Big East doesn't exist anymore, BC won't be a mid-major, they are on the "Atlantic Coast", how is that phony?

The problem came about with CCGs. That extra money fueled the greed. If not for that we would still have the old traditional conferences. If the ESPN, CBS and Fox were to strike a deal where they would just pay the conferences a flat rate altogether, there would be no need for expansion and we could realign conferences and recreate what we once had. It would be great

Just wait until the Big 12 tries to expand back to 12. They are looking at schools much farther away than Missouri.

They playoffs were a huge success last season. i don't mind conference expansion. I'd like to see Houston and another team join the Big 12 to make that conference even better. I like how each conference has its own identity of sorts

No, but I think it's safe to assume that the more your post the worse your posts/topics get. You should stop while you're behind.

My viewership was severely effected when the SEC added those 2 teams. I mean Arkansas and South Carolina joined the SEC? I mean what the hell...

It's gotten boring IMO, but I don't think that's CFB's fault. Just the nature of interests changing.

I miss the old smaller conferences and the geography of some of them now is just goofy, but it has not affected my viewership.

Seems like good interconference matchups are more rare now, but there is always a college game on TV worth watching. This is where NCAA is and has always been way ahead of NFL, IMO.
