The playoff expansion ended up accelerating resentment, not abating it. I didn't think this would happen. I thought it would slow the coaching carousel (and therefore player transfers and vice versa) by allowing more seats at the table. I wish we could wave a magic wand and go back to 2012. Texas never should have been permitted by the Big XII to make the Longhorn network.

My guess would be that over the next decade or two, the Big Ten and SEC make a push toward self-governance separate from the NCAA (or with an increased level of autonomy under the NCAA) but continue to participate in the playoff with the rest of FBS, as the playoff operates as a separate entity from the NCAA anyway. I'd expect them to swing their weight around for more expansion and more favor within that playoff structure, but I'd be surprised to see them try to break free of it entirely anytime soon.

Coco13 posted:Forming an action committee when the problem is in the mirror is probably not going to be helpful. To be fair, the the portal and NIL (which were past due concessions to the players but have proved tremendously chaotic for the sport) were largely spurred by forces external to the NCAA and to the conferences. Those have kind of been the wild cards in the midst of all the other, more TV and revenue-centric, change.

In all seriousness, the final phase began when the Pac 12 was destroyed. Once that happened, it was inevitable that we were moving to the P2. I actually expected it to happen in the next two or three years when FSU was snubbed and Georgia hemorrhaged players. The ACC was terminally ill and the P2 was going to want to be able to lock players to contracts.

As someone who grew up in East Tennessee (Johnson City) and has lived 20 years now in Knoxville, there are areas I avoid or look over my shoulder. Places like Cocke Co (first time I ever saw a trailer used as a bar), Johnson Co (yes from the one from Copperhead Road), Unicoi Co, Carter Co, etc., all it takes is one wrong turn. Nowadays they care more about your politics. You probably could drive a vehicle with CA or NY tags down any holler and as long as you have a MAGA sticker on your vehicle they will give you a kind wave. That said I broke my posting sabbatical (I just lurk now), to ask are my Vols going to be ok? All the fans think that Tennessee is going to prevail against the NCAA easily, and many of the actions taken this week by Tennessee (both the university and the state) and now the SEC seems to point that this is going to be a war that the NCAA can't win. I did read that the NCAA was coming full blast at Tennessee and they were planning to bundle past violations in other sports against Tennessee. Can you imagine a major program like Tennessee (football alone generated like $135 million in revenue last year) getting the death plenty? Neyland empty on Saturdays in the fall? I will never understand why the team I love, just attracts drama after drama. I thought after Pruitt things were getting peaceful finally. The last 20 years have been insane compared to the first 20 years as a fan (biggest drama the first 20 years was Fulmer taking over for Majors). nate fisher fucked around with this message at 01:35 on Feb 3, 2024 |

nate fisher posted:Can you imagine a major program like Tennessee (football alone generated like $135 million in revenue last year) getting the death plenty? Neyland empty on Saturdays in the fall? poo poo that will definitely not happen to any major program again no matter how much you mess up: the death penalty. That's for D3 tennis teams and such. Now they might try to put some restrictions on scholarships or 'crootin, or vacate some wins or some stuff like that. Maybe a bowl/postseason ban if things go wrong somehow (I don't think they'll go that wrong and there might be a negotiation for the previous stuff). But they'll be playing in front of whatever crowd shows up and will be on TV. My read is if the NCAA tries anything else, well, Tennessee is probably big enough to start talking to other schools about whether we really need the NCAA. And the NCAA doesn't want that smoke.

I expected the end to come close to the ACC's GOR expiring, but FSU's hellbent on finding a way out and if they can break free then B1G/SEC pick off whomever they want and create their own league above FBS, where the media money will follow. It's basically down to when, not if at this point, and I'd be amazed if it took before the end of the decade now.

The areas around Lake Guntersville in northern Alabama have been notorious for this for decades.

The media money will lead, not follow. The next move will be media partners asking why they’re paying the same amount for Vandy and Alabama football games. They’ll continue to push for consolidation and creating a closed competition at the top because they’ll get a lot more bang for their buck

It isn't like media partners keep asking why the Pittsburgh Pirates are there taking up space.

There's 120+ D1 programs. No way the money is going to flow enough to keep the fun G5 upset teams in the mix. The Vandy's may survive, but that's a lot of punching bags to keep afloat.
