Disney just sacked their CEO. They brought back the former CEO who just a two months ago said, "Linear TV is marching towards a great precipice and it will be pushed off. I can’t tell you when, but it goes away.” Meanwhile analysts expect "deep cost-cutting at ESPN, which should include a review of all of the upcoming sports rights in order to more adroitly adapt to these new times."

Are you insinuating that Val should have invited Gonzaga to the Big East? Why would Gonzaga want to hitch there wagon to the Big East? The Big 12 has a shot a being one of the 4 remaining power conferences when the dust settles. I’m pretty sure the $$$ Gonzaga can potentially make in the B12 will dwarf what they could make in the Big East. Gonzaga made the logical choice.

I agree. Guessing with a few years the NEWBig East will turn out being a high mid-major. Some could argue that it mostly is that now, saved only by Villanova. Which is another reason Gonzaga wouldn’t want to hitch its wagon to the NOOB.

I was making fun of NOOB fans here who post regularly about what a great commissioner the league has.

Low-key UConn insult. Scooter is already in midseason form.

The site designated by the higher seed is an interesting stipulation. I wonder if you see a school with a smaller home stadium earn the right to host turn to the (larger) nearby NFL stadium to maximize revenue

So next December 21, I wonder if UCONN will have the game played at The Rent or move it to say Foxboro or the Meadowlands

Here is a possible Rose Bowl compromise…..in years the Rose Bowl does not host a playoff game during the traditional Jan 1 time window, what if a regular bowl game took place pitting the B1G vs. PAC and it was called the Rose Bowl Classic? It would never matchup the champions of either conference since they will be in the playoffs, but it could matchup a bowl-eligible team from both conferences in that coveted time slot on New Years Day.

 

[CoastAtlantic]

Huge arse deal if true...

The Rose Bowl had no choice.

The CFP had Alegiant Stadium in Vegas cued up as the next call if the Rose said no

In 10 years, no games will be played there. The "Rose Bowl" will move to the NFL stadium. There is no justification to renovate it further for just one game oer year. UCLA wants out as much as the BY wants an on campus facility.

The Rose Bowl stadium is going the way of Ebbets Field. It's not Fenway or Wrigley and won't be spared the wrecking ball. The ownership may not realize that but they should.

In the very long run, you are probably correct, but I still see games being played in the Rose Bowl for many years. Remember, Pasadena restricts the number of large events at the Rose Bowl to 15 per year (it used to be 12) as they didn't want an NFL team to play there. They recently completed a renovation and signed the Rose Bowl through 2043 and UCLA football through 2044 (no opt out clause). And, an on campus stadium has already been nixed, so UCLA will be playing there in 10 years.

The 2028 Summer Olympics will be held in LA so there is probably some plans for it to be used for that.
