That's a crazy story. Never heard of PCBs in building materials doing that. Ground contamination yeah but not a building itself. I figured it would be like radiological thing when I clicked on it.

It’d be funniest if ACC just boots Clemson and FSU and the Big 2 says no to two squabbling bomb throwers who have a problem with contracts they willingly signed, so they just end up in the Big XII with smaller revenue shares. But I’m not holding my breath.

But apparently they don't read agreements they sign, so the Big Ten can probably trick them into paying a membership fee instead of a slice of revenue

We live in the dumbest timeline, how NIL got rolled out and its ripple effect is proof. To clairify, NIL itself is not bad, but we live in the dumbest timeline so we got it in the stupidest most poorly designed option.

Ohio State hired Carlos Locklyn away from Oregon to be the RB coach. Sorry, Ducks, I guess?

Cthulu Carl posted:Ohio State hired Carlos Locklyn away from Oregon to be the RB coach. He's a good coach, really emphasizes ball security and Oregon has been one of the top teams in that category the past few years. Kind of an old school hard rear end type of coach which really works with most of the kids he coaches but a few of the "softer" ones might start eyeing the portal if they can't deal with it. Curious how he'll get along with Chip.

He's been around a bit, but I just noticed the Major League pitcher named Bowden Francis. Wanna guess where he's from? There was a child in my rather redneck hometown named Athens years ago. There has to be a ton of children named for Bear Bryant and probably at least a few named for Saban.

A Sneaker Broker posted:I wonder who starts this year. Easy answer would be Will Howard but reports are saying he isn’t that much ahead of everyone else and they like what they are seeing from Julian Sayin Would be shocked if it’s anyone but Howard. Most of this stuff grew from one clip of him missing kinda bad on an out route to the opposite side of the field. From what I understand, Day is working on stuff with him mechanically so I’d imagine there’s going to be some rough poo poo as he adjusts to those changes. The fact that a lot of the hubbub seems to come from media people who are traditionally mouthpieces for the program leads me to think Day is probably nervous about the possibility of going into the season with Howard and two true freshmen so he wants to make this look like more of a competition than it actually is to keep the room from thinning out.

Proposal is 70 permanent members of the football Senate I guess then 10 slots for which the other 60 FBS teams compete with promotion and relegation. https://twitter.com/lib_crusher/status/1775649395062587625

I hope this idea dies like the attempted European soccer Super League. "The 70 permanent teams would never be in danger of moving down, while the second division would have the incentive of promotion and relegation." This is stupid, either go all the way with promotion relegation or don't try it. There is no reason schools like SMU or Baylor should be permanent super league members while USF, Memphis, and Tulane have to be promoted with threat of relegation. It'd be hilarious to see schools like Texas or Penn State get relegated. Spacebump fucked around with this message at 00:35 on Apr 4, 2024 |

Do that but nobody is protected. Bottom 5 get relegated every year. Break the other level into 4 groups. Group winners get auto promotions, and have a four team playoff for a title. The next two for each group do an 8 team tournament for the last promotion spot. This is probably stupid. I just want more football.

A side effect of this happening is that everybody, everywhere, will finally stop pretending all 134 FBS teams are legitimately competing for the same Championship. They’re not. It’s not an opinion or anything. It’s reality. Dozens of programs will shrivel on the vine and die. NO top tier high school graduate is going to voluntarily play for a relegated team no matter what they pay.

At least half of every conference is pretending at that point. They all have a chance at making the playoff now. Really should be more G5 spots but we have to pretend teams who will place 3rd and 4th in their conference belong. Since the NY6 was started, G5 teams win their NY6 game more often than Eastern Conference teams win the NBA Finals. In that same time, the NFC's Super Bowl win rate is equal to the G5's NY6 win rate.

There's a lot of presidents and admins who are seeing the gravy train start to dry up. If you're a Wake Forest or Baylor, maybe even a Vanderbilt who is part of the haves for now, you want to do whatever you can to ensure you have a piece of an ever growing pie. Meanwhile, TV execs and streaming execs are probably being bombared by hedge funds on how they can put together an 18-24 team Super League and keep all of the broadcast revenue for themselves. Like I've said before, take that list of the 18 most popular teams posted above, add like UNC and a couple others (A&M/Miami come to mind), at the very most you're looking at 32 and then you're having to ask yourself "do we really need Ole Miss in this?", maybe some senators get pissy and demand the service academies be added for some cheap flag humping points. But that'll be major college football before too long, they just haven't figured out the prices yet.

A reorganization of the sport that extreme just seems like a gargantuan undertaking in terms of contractual untangling and negotiation that nobody will ultimately have the stomach for anytime soon; not when everyone is making so much money already. A super league of any kind would require a level of coordination and cooperation that we’ve never seen in the history of the sport. I wouldn’t worry about it.
