Bama Fatigue

[HighSeas]

Rules need to change (and be enforced) or the NCAA and conferences are gonna lose a ton of dough on TV contracts. No one likes a system that feels predictable and rigged.

 

[Edward20]

Completely agree, but not a **** thing is going to change or be enforced.

 

[Midlo Cane Fan]

I have Bama fatigue from all the Bama threads people start.

Is this news not threadworthy? I think it is.

But otherwise I agree and was aware of that as I was making the post.

If I’m not mistaken, not ?ing the ratings, but sports in general since the pandemic have taken a massive dump in ratings.

I’m not sure if it has anything to do w Bama fatigue per say, vs. ppl being upset about “agendas” being pushed into sports that crosses over in the “p” word....the “p” word becoming very heavy on ppl’s mind, and the pandemic.

Here’s my hot take. Saban done winning NC. Never again. Someone save this

The last thing I want to see is a Bama mega thread. We love slurpers and mopes more than that.

As long as the NCAA turns a blind eye to the enhanced recruiting, there’s no reason to think that Alabama won’t win At least five of the next ten NCs, and be in eight of the next ten NC tournaments.

Yes, having Bama, Clemson, & OSU always in the mix makes it boring. However, playing the game on ESPN instead of ABC lowers the perceived value of the game. I know broadcast TV really doesn't make a big deal vs. cable, but if the Super Bowl wasn't played on a major network, wouldn't you think something was up?

If a network thinks a championship game is not worthy of pre-empting another mind-numbing episode of "The Bachelor", why should viewers?

One way to change that is to become the usurper

Cap the support staff, maybe even cap booster spending, actually catch a team cheating and nail them... any other ideas?

Predicted this back in 2016...Since then Alabama has one two more titles and played in finals of another title game. The system is designed for the big money schools to win.

Some in the media are catching on, no douby finally jolted by the lack of ratings running up to the title game:

YES I HAVE AN IDEA. LET MIAMI BE THE MIAMI OF OLD. LET US DO WHATEVER BAMA IS DOING AND THEY WILL HAVE LEGITIMATE OPPONENT.

I already proposed this over FOUR years ago

Didn't watch it, first time I haven't watched a championship game that I can remember. Watch every year but na I'm done supporting the blatant favoritism and overlooking of what's going on at Bama.

 

[CanesFan93]

You know what's funny? My twelve year old cousin who knows nothing about football said "This game is more boring than the games you usually watch" last night then asked me how long do I think football will last. I laughed her off but maybe she had a point...

Didnt Bama sign the #1 class of all time or something like that

Most of the larger TV markets couldn't give 2 shets about CFB.
The NY/NJ metro area couldn't give 3 ***** about cfb.

Top 10:

• New York (#1)
• Los Angeles (#2)
• Chicago (#3)
• Philadelphia (#4)
• Dallas-Fort Worth (#5)
• San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose (#6)
• Washington, D.C. (Hagerstown) (#7)
• Houston (#8)
• Boston (Manchester) (#9)
• Atlanta (#10)

It's the same 4 to 6 teams every year and no one cares at all about any other bowls anymore outside of the CFP. The best thing and only way to save college football is for a handful of these programs to get back to a top level: Miami, Texas, USC, Nebraska, Michigan, Tennessee, FSU, Penn State, etc.

Television ratings are lower across the board because they have now way to track streaming viewers. With so many people ditching cable, TV numbers are skewed.
