Totally agree with this.

That's a great story and, for me anyway, a lot of what college football should be about.

How could he even know that? The market for talent is still developing and there’s no salary cap. Being competitive at a national level may very well require an athletic department to blow its brains out financially.

They will continue to chase every potential dollar right past the point where they ruin college football.

I would be willing to bet that the BiG and SEC have already "agreed" on who goes after which programs. It's looking more a more like a 40 team professional football league with two 20 team conferences. I think they will try to wrap up hoops that way as well.

Honest to god it amazes me what people will believe to protect their view of the world.......

Big remake on both lines will make for a very interesting year.

Maybe......and it's all speculation, but I find it odd that the BiG walked into LA and the key markets in the PNW without any appearant compeition from the SEC. Likewise, the SEC locked in Texas without any appearant competition from the BiG. Presently there is no state overlap between the two...

I think the BiG and SEC are dividing the country up north and south. Obviously there is no formal agreement to that effect, but I would be surprised to see the BiG try to go into Florida, SC or Georgia and there is nothing left for them in Texas. Maybe they duke it out for UNC and Virginia...

My point being, how do you justify spending that money (the University's or donors) to enter a conference where you have no idea what you will need to spend to be competitive? It's absolutely crazy to me to see where this has gone.

This whole thing amazes me. Memphis is willng to drop a quarter bil to get into a conference under a structure that currently doesn't have any control over payroll costs. So they want to make this "investment" without any way of knowing what the return (or more likely.....burn) will be. Major...

Some marketing firm probably made a bundle putting this **** together.......

ummmm.......why not wear dark colors ;)

I don't think it's sustainable and I don't think a lot of what's going on is sustainable. I have to believe that Stanford and Cal will eventually want out of the lunacy that is their current conference affiliation. My sense is that UCONN needs to hold on for a bit longer for the next major...

At which point the BiG and SEC representatives will hit the representatives from the BigXII and ACC in the back of the head with a chair the moment they turn around. Committees like this are usually pretty helpful for......well.......absolutely nothing......
