SEC, Big Ten moving closer to taking their college football ball home and making billions

[Esqueleto]

The sooner they break away the better it will be for the rest of us, and then maybe we can go back to some sort of sanity.

[CajunVic]

Sanity will always be relative . . .

[ZoomZoom]

Well, that makes the multiple suggestions nationwide at relegation done. Always follow the money.

You remember how OPEC cut production in the mid 2010s to try and kill the US fracking industry? That's what I feel the SEC/B1G is doing with NIL/Transfer Portal. If the commissioners and presidents of both of those leagues wanted something done about it, it would be fixed. But I feel they are weathering the storm in an effort to starve out the little sisters of the poor.

If the SEC/B1G want to take their ball and go home to lay together, let them. However, every other conference should agree not to play these schools. Let them fight it out amongst each other and once you see what were winning programs reduced to .500 or less records then perhaps sensibility will kick in.

Well, there is a push for crossover games, but the Big Ten wants the SEC to play 9 conference games like they do. That’s the writing on the wall. That’s the plan to keep their money.

They’re going to do this before the PAC is settled

And not just football.....everything.

Baseball, basketball, softball, track/field....everything.

Its gonna get pretty boring when the 8 or so bluebloods of this new super-elite conference starts cannibalizing itself.

We all know Georgia, Alabama, and Ohio State don't just beat up on the G5s, they also beath up on their own.

How long before Vanderbilt gets squeezed out? Just what does Purdue bring to the table? Is there room for EVERYBODY in the Big 12 and the ACC?

Le grand mange le petit. (I think this is how he said it.)

Yes, that is exactly what will happen. But there will be lots of litigation because programs that will possibly be left out will not accept it and fit it in court.

Football is driving this; all other sports are secondary to that sport. ESPN will find money because all other conferences will have no leverage when their media contracts come up and are drastically reduced.

This move is about creating another division with their own playoff system and media contracts. NCAA Tournament formats for MBB, WBB, Softball, Baseball and other sports will not change right away.
