Message: [QUOTE="billybud, post: 5027647, member: 3850"] The Big East definitely needs to maximize payment for basketball rights... Football opportunity may be waning...and UConn, as the premier BB school, should get $$$$. What I have been seeing for a long time is that there is going to be a paradigm shift in college football and that is the real impetus for the current environment. We all should have learned by now that this is not your samo realignment plan. What is happening now is not at all related to how BC joined the ACC or how the Aggies joined the SEC. Those moves were not designed to change the face of college football for everyone else. Back in late 2022, a plan was set in motion that would change the entire landscape with regard to how college football manages its regular season, playoff system, and rights to the best broadcasting time slots. TV slots with major national viewage will be almost all SEC/B1G...The Big 12 and ACC remainders may get primarily streaming (and maybe regional at that). The hegemony is starting this fall [I] ... the Big 10 is featuring "Friday Night Football" on at least 9 Fridays with Big 10 matchups as national broadcasts, instead of regional small market games....[/I]." FSU folks saw this on the horizon and girded up for the do or die charge. There are a lot of non P2 programs scrambling while looking at this future. Anything is possible... There should be opportunity for basketball to maximize revenue potential...everything that I have discussed is football related...now, it is time for basketball to differentiate from the P2 and get paid.
