MEGA Conference Realignment and lawsuits Megathread: Stories, Tales, Lies, and Exaggerations

Michigan and USC are getting a jump on the rest of the NCAA. Why share revenue with conference bottom feeders that need pay day advance loans for their NIL. Sign exclusive rights to broadcast your team. Not your conference.

You think Bama likes getting the same cut as Vandy and Mississippi State? ****.

Top 40-56 programs should just move football to their own Organization and bring back the true regionality for everything else.

2 conferences, 4 divisions per conference, 5-7 teams per division. You play everyone in your division. All games but 1 must be played against these top 40-56 teams

The NFL isn't trying to forcefeed a $2.4B private equity deal on the Chiefs and Cowboys because the Jags and Bengals need money either.

That's the whole problem with college football right now. It isn't one entity. The AFC East doesn't make more on its TV deal than the NFC West. The AFC North doesn't play a different number of home games than those in the AFC South. College football is set up to have these questions of who deserves to be in vs. who should be out. To a lot of people, that's cool. Controversy is good. It could also possibly explain why the NFL is the biggest sport in the country and college football is 2nd.

I know Michigan isn't a small private school but I think it would interesting if the private schools like USC, Miami, Notre Dame, Wake, Duke, BYU etc were semi-independent and operated outside the ACC, B1G, etc. structure. They could affiliate with a conference like ND does, but schedule games against each other and have a lot of flexibility in making their own contracts (e.g. exclusive deals with Amazon, Netflix, etc). Obviously not every team is going to get a NBC exclusive deal like ND, but you could have 7-8 small private schools collectively sign deals with the big streamers. ESPN, NBC etc are bloated and outdated. Being small and semi-independent could give the private schools an opportunity they don't get in the major conferences.
 
Looking at independence is a possibility in all revenue sports if individual institutions can find their own private equity backers.

Why the he11 do premier programs need to be in a conference ?....to divide all their money with the bottom feeders in the conference?

Yeah you're right the NFL is completely missed the boat here I'm surprised I haven't broken up into 32 separate contracts yet

Spotify is about to do everything as well song by song contract

Bundling and collective scarcity
  • Exclusive Inventory for Partners: By bundling all member schools together, conferences create a scarce, exclusive package of live games for media partners like ESPN, FOX, and CBS. This collective scarcity drives up the overall value of the contract, as seen with the multi-billion-dollar deals for the Big Ten and SEC.
