LSU did it for the opener vs. App. State in 2008 to get the game in ahead of Hurricane Gustav.

I like a playoff. I think 24 is probably too many, but I think I would prefer too many to too few. And I rarely complain about more football.

12 is already too many.
it damn sure isn’t “too few”

most years you have a group of 3-5 teams that separate themselves from rest of the field.
sometimes it may be as many as seven.
but that’s a rarity.

then you’re just “filling a bracket” from there.

and just because there is no clear cut difference between teams 11-15 doesn’t mean all 15 now need to get in so you expand.
11 shouldn’t be in either.

Anyone who hates a larger playoff system is basically saying allowing 50 teams playing in all these whack bowl games is OK?

no, we’re saying there ain’t 32 teams worthy of a title shot.

i don’t give a shite if they play in some obscure bowl game or stay home.

i don’t want to see them in the playoffs.

LSU has a one loss margin with the current 12 team playoff, which is a tall order with remaining schedule strength. With 24 teams they could lose 2 maybe 3 and still make. Way more interesting.

so you straight up point out that we go from every game being a “must win” to “ehh, we could drop a couple”.

that’s the very definition of devaluing the regular season.

But WHY? We were already number 1 in the AP, 2 in coaches poll if I remember correctly. Or maybe the other way around. Nevertheless, the difference between 1 and 2 is meaningless. Plus, I wanted them to win out and get a LSU USC championship game to settle 2003.

because for the first time in the lives of a large chunk of the fanbase, we had an opportunity to walk out of that stadium KNOWING we would be the undisputed #1 team in the country.

last time that had happened prior to 2007 was 1959.

That's the old model. While it still matters, in the days of streaming rather than traditional cable, national viewership is the primary factor.

traditional TV still brings in more revenue at a higher profit margin than streaming does.

that gap is closing (very) fast, but for now, having that network as part of your TV providers package is still a fricking cash cow.

You’re not accounting for % subscribed to sports TV in respective markets (exaggerated example… 1% Subscriber in a California market is not as much revenue as 98% subscriber in an Alabama market)

actually i am.

the Big Ten and their network is in an estimated 35 million subscriber’s homes
the SEC and their network is in around 24 million subscriber’s homes.

and those networks charge per subscriber.
even if they never once tune in to that channel.

Literally nobody gives a shite about Rutgers football.

but their stadium is like 30 miles from New York City.
so anybody in NYC with any sort of Sports package from their provider is getting the Big Ten network whether they want it or not (because we still can’t pick and choose what individual networks are in your market’s package).

Same with Northwestern and Chicago.
Same with LA and USC/UCLA.
Michigan and Detroit
Maryland and DC
Philadelphia is right in that mix too.
Washington and Seattle

both networks charge around $1.50 per month per subscriber “in market”

that breaks out to around $612 million per year for Big Ten network vs $432 million for SEC network.

There is NO reason the SEC should be disbursing less TV money to its schools than the Big10

networks don’t just charge based on eyeballs watching.
they can charge per subscriber in a market even if that subscriber never once puts that channel on his TV.

The Big Ten has much larger TV footprint than the SEC.
no matter who is actually watching.

Big Ten has schools in/very close to 7 of the top 15 media markets.

the SEC has schools in/near 3 of the top 15.

Is this something that’s good or bad for LSU and the other powerhouses?

is the clause about coaching changes still in there?

if so, expect that to be challenged in court and ultimately struck down.

the way it was originally written (don't know if has been amended or not)

nobody who served in any role of Football Athletic personnel during a season can assume any roles of a head coach of another school until the seasons of both schools (his old and his new) are completely finished.

that's not just limiting a head coach from jumping ship.
but ever a coordinator looking to get a head coaching job at another school somewhere.

hell, he can't even publicly admit to being the new coach of a new school until his current school plays their last game of the year (including any bowl game, etc.)

LSU AD really does a bad job of emphasizing and getting out there that

they definitely need a better PR approach in that regard.

being a state university, they have to disclose their books.

and their books show a loss. a big loss

but literally every penny of it earned directly through athletics (tickets, TV money, merchandise, etc) or private funds.

none of it comes from tuition or from the state.
