Sash! posted:Ten weeks. He was diagnosed with lung cancer literally two days after he was fired. A month to the day later, he fell and broke his pelvis. Slightly a month later (January 13, which was a Friday and definitely ruined a weekend), he went to the hospital because he was not responding to the chemo and died nine days later. I mean Jim Valvano won the '84 title at NC State, immediately ran to the ESPY's to give his big Never Give Up speach, and then collapsed and died on-stage. I remember it going that way I didn't do any research so don't correct me if I'm wrong.

lmao at goons acting like they wouldn't live in shithole x for 10m/y besides, the coaches aren't concerned about area culture or food or whatever, they're having a chicken wrap from the training kitchen delivered to their office while they stress over breaking down film or that they've only texted a recruit 12 times today when they're sure that someone else has texted them 13 times or how much NIL money they're going to have to beg boosters for. the world outside of the football center barely exists for most of them once you reach the top level "but what about the wives and children" you fret well that's where the 10m/y comes in handy

People here always underestimate the PR value that a good athletic program brings to a school. Alabama is/was thought of as a football powerhouse instead of a school in a backwater state. Smaller schools like Florida Gulf Coast or Valpo get remembered because of two weeks in March when they would otherwise be unknown outside of their local regions. That awareness in of itself is almost priceless in some cases.A Sneaker Broker posted:How does Colorado not have a DC yet????

Zwabu posted:What other time frame could Saban have announced his resignation that would have caused less havoc with players leaving for the portal? If he announced at any point before or during the season it would interfere with players playing hard for the team or in any playoff game, is there any other reasonable time aside from the end of the season? Nothing short of "this is my last season and here is who is going to replace me" is going to work, and even then it's going to be everyone out of the pool. As long as the current structure remains in place, it's going to be a free for all at the top level every offseason, especially if the legislation turns scholarships into single season contracts.

Dabo's already got to punch above his weight considering that SC/UGA/Auburn/Bama are all in his backyard with twice as much TV revenue as Clemson does. If he won't play the NIL game, then it's a matter of time before he's replaced with someone who does.

When the Super League inevitably forms, it starts with those 18 teams and adds six more, probably some ACC schools above the Mason Dixion line, but that's what major college football will look like in ten years or so.

harperdc posted:Here’s the thing I keep coming back to, though: Not all of those teams were Playoff teams. Some (Auburn/Florida) had periods of being mediocre to downright bad. They're still the biggest brands in the sport and when the inevitable separation happens the media companies are going to wonder why they're paying the Vanderbilts and Wake Forests of the world when they can give more money to Bama and OSU. The only schools who made the Playoff that aren't on that list are Sparty/TCU/Cincinnati, all of whom only made it once and other than TCU got rolled by Bama. I'm struggling to think of who else belongs on that list: A&M and Ole Miss jump out first but they never played for anything meaningful in the Playoff era, UNC's value is more in hoops, Miami and Nebraska will never be back, Virginia Tech was never there.

Grittybeard posted:This is a pretty big domino to fall if it falls. UNC is the lynchpin of the ACC; if they leave the conference either dies or becomes a shell of itself. Same with Texas/B12, same with USC/UCLA/Pac-12. It'd be the same with Bama/SEC and Michigan/Ohio State/B1G. Realistically, it's a matter of when, not if. UNC has value, FSU does too. I posted my value chart in one of these threads a while back, but nothing's changed.

Sash! posted: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. Basically this. 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.

Adun posted: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 Edward Mass posted:There's a reason the proposed European Super League only had one French soccer club - they just wanted Brands. Exactly. I've wondered what would happen if private equity or the Saudis or someone took that list of the top 17 schools by TV ratings that was posted a bit back, added 7 more to get to 24, and offered them all $250m/year to leave their conference in football and join a Super League. TV would absolutely follow. And while you'd think that the SEC/B1G would kick them out, if all their major moneymakers are leaving at once, that leaves a little room for negotiating when it comes to things like the NCAA Tournament, the other big moneymaker.

Ches Neckbeard posted:I don't think this is the end of Bienemy (or at least hope it's not). UCLA was likely the best option left with how long Washington took to settle on Dan Quinn. Still a high profile enough coordinator job. I thought he did solid work for what was a lame duck season with the commies Bienemy tried to show that he had a hand in KC's success and instead it was shown to be Reid/Mahomes, while the Commies weren't able to do anything special. That the Commies didn't feel the need to put Riverboat Ron out of his misery and at least kick the tires on what a Bienemy-led team looked like. I doubt he's going to have much, if any success, at an under-funded and over their head UCLA program. He'll probably be a private QB coach to rich high school prospects within a couple of years unless Kirby takes over Saban's Home for Wayward Coaches.

General Dog posted:What’s changed since they left/were asked to leave? Were they football-only members before and MAC didn’t like dealing with that? Exactly. MAC wanted them all-in but UMass didn't want to leave the A-10, so they went indy in football. Now that the A-10 isn't as prestigious (I guess?) and being an independent in football is proving to not be a fun time, it's worthwhile to jump back into the MAC and enjoy heading to Ohio several times a year. UConn needs to bite the bullet and drop football to FCS, leaving ND as the sole indy until the SEC/B1G form the Super League and make the Irish finally put up (since for all their talk, Notre Dame won't want to relegate themselves to secondary football once the money gets involved) Speaking of UConn.. I remember the initial logo for UConn and UMass had the "C" and "UM" logos on the wiki. Sadly some killjoy robbed us of the CUM Bowl.

kayakyakr posted:e: Actually, thinking about it more... I could see them doing the 5 round playoff. Lets you shed the G5 champ, and a few runners up from the tournament much earlier while guaranteeing your big names (the ones that secured the top 4 spots) make it through to the later rounds. I don't see how you could do five weeks unless it starts the week after the conference championships and Army/Navy are willing to move off the date. You need to have the championship game done before the NFL season wraps now that the NFL is willing to hold a Playoff game on MNF. Looking ahead to 2016, you'd have conference championships on 12/4-5, Army/Navy on 12/12, and then four straight weeks of playoffs to finish on 1/11/27. If you start any later you run into the NFL postseason. Either college would have to fully start the week before Labor Day and the conference championships would need to be Thanksgiving week to have a five-week playoff, or you'd have to convince the NFL to give up a playoff MNF game. I don't see either happening.

Hed posted:I didn’t think there were a lot of wrestlers on a D I team. So ends up not being a lot of student athletes. The biggest issue is that it's a non-revenue sport that doesn't/didn't have a female mirror, so you'd have a Title IX issue where you'd need to find a women's sport to match that number of scholarships. Schools will always sponsor more women's teams then men's due to the number of scholarships football offers, so having to find another dozen to offset wrestling becomes a non-starter outside of the hotbeds or those who sponsor everything under the sun like the old Pac-12 schools. If women's wrestling does become a thing at the NCAA D1 level it becomes slightly less of an issue; it's still not a revenue generator and NIL isn't going to help the schools in that regard.

drunk leprechaun posted:That point may be now. At least for FSU and Clemson. I'm still not convinced the SEC or B10 will invite either to be honest. They would; that list of the top 17 most watched teams had those two on there; I think it was all teams who would be in the B1G/SEC next season with FSU/Clemson/Notre Dame. No one's going to say or leak anything right now for fear of lawsuits/lack of leverage, but FSU/Clemson/UNC would get invitations from one of those two. Everyone else depends on numbers, I posted a tier list in the old thread on how desirable each ACC team was, so someone like UVA or Miami might get an invite while Wake and BC probably need to hope the American has room.
