If you are vague enough on time frames and destinations you can never really be wrong and one day you may even get to say you were right.

If being vague is wrong, I don't wanna be right.

I checked his account, and it all looks like unbiased objective statements to me.

Eventually all of this greed will decimate the national fanbase.  The more exclusive they make the national championship process, the less fans they will have.  I am a USF fan, and I'm not going to pi

Everyone involved in managing our pathetic program over the past 10 years should be fired out of a cannon into the bay.

Referring to that article...  I want to point out how stupid it would be if they made these decisions off of one season

Reminds me of one of my favorite Twitter entries from fairly early on this thread. A Houston knucklehead said that whoever had a higher average attendance between them and Cincinnati the following year would be invited to the Big XII ..... this thread is the best.

I honestly don’t see the ACC going the way of the PAC12. Schools like BC, Pitt WF, Syracuse, NCST have nowhere to go, even the B12 won’t want them. I truly believe enough of them know this and will make “alliances” to keep a decent group of 6-8 schools together and rebuild with the best of the rest. It will end up being BIG/SEC as the big 2 and then B12/ACC as the next 2 then everyone else.

But they all can't get out and get an upgrade.  So this theory seems silly.

That's ambitious.  Time slots are three hours... so there would be at most eight per week per network for OTA broadcast (cable and broadcast):

  • Thursday night (7:00pm and 10:00pm)
  • Friday night (7:00pm and 10:00pm)
  • Saturday (12:00 Noon, 3:00pm, 7:00pm, and 10:00pm)

But there aren't THAT many West Coast teams to have three "after dark" games across all of the networks... when you factor the limitations on some networks that have other prime time programming and other sports (such as auto-racing, golf, baseball, college basketball, NBA, NHL, etc) during some of these time slots.

Still, for Fox and ESPN ... having 4 to 8 slots per week is probably enough.  48 teams (2 x 24 conferences) would be 24 games in season... but if all 48 play non P2 out of conference, that would be 48 non-conference games to televise.

 

Ambitious definitely, but you aren't accounting for all of their channels, only the two primary (and ABC is ESPN's OTA channel).  Don't forget CBS and NBC, plus ESPN2, SECN and BTN. 

EDIT: Interesting that SEC has indicated kickoff times flexed by 45 minutes to have non-stop football.

    "There is no inherent fear among this group of players. The fear of failing drove the program from day one - the fear of failing the coaches, the fan base, the university, each teammate, themselves. Now, as we head into the biggest game in our history at home on a national stage against the highest ranked team to step on OUR field, the players are taking an introspective look at themselves. Unfortunately, I don't know if they get it. They lack the fear."
