I was sure that I would disagree with his take from the headline, but he’s right.

Once TV got involved it was no longer about a region. Heck, in 10 years, expect College Football games to be played in big cities all over the world.

Terrible headline. He thinks 24team playoff is “stupid” not conferences.

What’s this WE shite? Nobody called any of us and asked us what WE wanted to do with CFB the last 6 years.

I asked Google what the annual budget was for the SEC
The Southeastern Conference (SEC) reported an annual budget and financial scale of $1.11 billion in revenue and $1.12 billion in expenses for the fiscal year ending August 2025, and they lost millions that year.
I don't know how much of the deficit was borrowed against future earnings, not that the SEC is the earner.
And would ESPN pay school individually each time they show/produce a game?

I would guess a certain number of middle men are needed just to distribute that much money?

What he’s saying “if a record, and making playoff, is all that matters, we should just play locally and have a great record.

Why would a team join a conference that is so geographically opposed to their membership? Mizzou in the SEC is almost as retarded as USC in the Big 10.

Last time i checked, Missouri actually shares a border with TWO states with three SEC founding members as well as a state with a '90 expansion member

California, at best, borders Nevada which borders Utah which borders Colorado which finally gets to Nebraska (2011 addition) and then we would get to Iowa (which technically was not a founding member but joined in 1899)

You say that almost as retarded?

Not counting Oregon & Washington (or the push for Miami).

Definitely need to do away with conferences for football. Nominate a commissioner and move to a NFL model. The goal should be equitable scheduling with a 24 team playoff.
