Thermos H Christ posted:How does extending the GOR make the current candidates more attractive options? If you don't like the available options, shackling yourself to them long-term sounds like about the dumbest thing you could do. Better to just let them hang out for a few years to gently caress our media partners out of extra money because they're obligated to pay full price for any team we add, plus it lets us do divisions and a CCG which is an extra chunk of change. Seems like plenty of teams would jump at a few years of extra cash and at least a remote possibility a nice landing spot in the aftermath. I'm saying that with the presumption that OU (maybe along with Texas) was the major driver behind this because of financial concerns, and that all of the rest of the teams didn't have much incentive to add anyone. If you're any of the Big 12 north remnants, adding more teams is a bad thing competitively, and if it's not going to come with any increased assurance of the conference's long term stability, it's a bad deal. Increasing the size of the Big 12 isn't going to do anything to help them in the post-Big 12 world.

Back in Spring Idaho announced that they were going to step down to FCS and rejoin the Big Sky conference for football. University president Staben was pretty clear in his language that every option had been exhausted and that most of the Vandal boosters supported the movie. Unfortunately for him the Lewiston Morning Tribune decided to do a bit of journalism and got their FOIA on.quote:MOSCOW - In late April, the University of Idaho made a landmark NCAA decision, dropping its football program from the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) to the lower-tier Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) and effectively ending a 22-year run at the highest level of college football.

MourningView posted:tbh FCS makes a lot more sense for Idaho anyway To be honest, Idaho wasn't that much better in the old days either, its historically been a terrible program and squandered every chance we've had. It would be better to play Mountain and Western based teams, but I don't see the Idaho admin investing to make a competitive Big Sky program. So be terrible in the FBS or be terrible in the FCS

I mean they weren't dominant but they were a pretty consistent playoff team in the 80s and 90s. That's gotta be more satisfying that finishing at the bottom of the sun belt

If they're finishing last in the Sunbelt they're not going to be a playoff team anytime soon.

TBH it's a lot more likely that Iowa or the rest of those Midwestern teams would be. I don't get being offended by lots of G5 teams or lots of lovely bowls. More football is good.

Rutgers is the worst And if teams aren't ranked in the top 10ish I don't care about it and I doubt many other people do either. I won't watch any scrub tier bowls, they suck. Kick all the riff raff out, relegate programs that can't get their poo poo together, have a 16 team playoff where the only neutral site is the final game, pair the season down to ten games, take OOC scheduling away from the conferences, and boom college football's structure stops being such a weird labriynth of bizarre antifun, anticompetitive ideas

Hmm yes increasing the already massive divide between haves and have nots is definitely the way to make the sport more competitive. Random small bowls are fun as hell, sorry you don't actually like watching football

Tiny bowls with bad teams make for fun games a lot of the time.

For a lot of teams those are in fact big games, but if you don't like football I suppose you're welcome to not watch. I don't know why you personally not caring means they should go away entirely

That is a very disingenuous way to present your argument! It was actually "I only like the playoff, so the other games are pointless and shouldn't exist" and saying that there should be fewer football games seems very much like a thing a person who doesn't really like watching football very much would say. No one thinks the Hawaii Bowl is more important than the playoff games (though they can sometimes be much better games!) but it can still be fun and mean something to the teams and fan bases involved.

To most mid tier schools the bowls are much higher stakes as they are realistic,but not easy, goals to shoot for.
