Sounds "strong",....but how would that help the current situation? Booting them out would give them a free ticket into the Big10. Moreover, with more wheeling and dealing, it'd probably give teams like Clemson and FSU to bolt as well. It's not necessarily that teams cannot leave, it's that we...

Yes, I am aware of the 5 games. A solid mutual agreement in exchange for their other sports being within a conference. With the current NCAA regular season limit capped @ 12, Let's review the math: 12-5=7 degrees of freedom to be flirtatious as you please. You can weaken your schedule as you...

Thing is, unless you can name one,...there's just literally no reason or incentive for Notre Dame to join a more-restrictive conference format. They can get their own broadcasting deals w/TV networks to be on every week. They get to play virtually anyone and everyone as OOC opponents. If and...

The one to really look at regarding this stuff is the SEC oddball,...Vanderbuilt. Theirs is $6.3B aside from being ranked 14th or so in the nation and being in the SEC. Look,...the time has come to see education and conference affiliation in completely separate terms in regards to possibly...

Notre Dame's not going to commit to more games; they don't have to. Get 1 more team and force them into a Pod bracket instead and you're set with your 16.

This is 100% about recruiting better. MARKETING. Paid players + Premier conference ='s everything out of our conference is 2ndary. That's the clear message to every highschool football player after this shakes out. We really do go round and round about all these other issues when the whim of...

The old clichés of "inner strength" that names like ours have are just that -- old, compared to how fast things are changing in CFB. We're not Vandy,...but everyone here's probably itching to be Alabama again.

It's really that they're going to have better access to OUR recruits while selling their product. This is really the problem -- kids leaving from home for the semi-pro league that all the NFL scouts keep their eyes on. The pod concept gives us a chance to "fully include" Notre Dame without the...

The pod concept gives us a chance to "fully include" Notre Dame without the outright need for them to play a full slate. With kids receiving money, everything is all about money now. If you don't get this concept, you're being left in the pre-pandemic era. Without anyone else defecting,...1...

But now players can earn $$$,....so that just flat out changes everything. Because unless all student athletes are to receive the same payout equally,...you're about to see year by year the NBA and the money that goes along with that brand separating itself from remnants that will command CBA...

Spot-on. The programs and the conferences are such big major players because of the revenue problems that arise. Give every player the same payout across the board and take all of this money out of the hands of the conferences,...or say hello to more and more disparity.
