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

[Gennaker Cane]

I have an idea for a name, now that bowl games are dying out.

"Division I-A".

Same. I've been watiing for this since they actually started the "College Football Playoff" 12 years ago.

How does Basketball do it with over 350 schools in D1?

They dont. Its why you have football conferences crying because the big east can spend all its rev share on basketball since they dont field football teams. Also march madness guarantees access to every conference in a huge (and still expanding) field. You want a 64+ team cfp with teams like kennesaw st or western Michigan getting guaranteed cfp births for winning their conference? Existence is not the same as working. Kentucky dropping 50M+ on a roster should not be under same regulations as high point. We've got schools buying coaches court side seats at smaller schools to tamper. The system is broken and needs a reset in worse way

First I have read FBS crying about Big East rev sharing but I do miss a lot.

If CFP expands to 16 or 24 then that many out of 130 schools isn’t a bad breakdown vs 64/68 out of over 350.

Everyone knows there is a big difference between P4 schools and the rest so what is solution? But as of now, going by same rules for all sports.

If not longer schedules, losses will be deemphasized and there will be more of them for the top teams. Theres just more losses on the schedule when cutting out all the low-mid level P5 teams.

Didn’t diminishing wins happen last year with the Miami vs ND before the CFP? We’re going longer schedule and the P5 teams will be delegated to the Bowls or their own playoffs. Much like the NCAA/NIT. Not necessarily a bad thing, bc it would showcase talent for the major programs to target their best players. The lower level D1 schools will be feeder schools for the majors,.. BC it’s all about the next level. The reality is, and this is difficult, for players/parents , that a free education is a better life choice. SO CHOOSE WISELY

A lot of people have failed to consult their American History textbooks.

Every time there is a...movement...away from the free-labor/low-cost-labor model...a bunch of people INSIST on telling us how good the good ol' days were, and how we have to do everything to go back to those old ways...

They really need to cut revenue sports like basketball, football and baseball out of the NCAA and put them under sports league commissioners. That way the individual sports can create their league divisions under own rules and constraints.
