Most of us doCan I put ESPN on ignore?
Don’t lose any sleep. They will destroy themselves and the games eventuallyAs if it isn't bad enough now, I have this vision that the next version of a governing body will be like the foxes guarding the hen house. The whole college athletics landscape is becoming very disheartening.
Sounds like being in the Big XII with Texas and Oklahoma.The problem is that even if the P5 schools were to break away and form an autonomous organization, and invite UConn, we would have virtually no say in the governance. Not a great position to be in. The only thing worse, though, would be being left behind.
The dominoes are being lined up...
First step will be related to moving governance out of NCAA and then negotiating post season deals for a new playoff. There will be increasing tier 1 minimum requirements that could see some teams opt out. I think the G5 will be invited initially to come along but it will be cost prohibitive for many of them.
Then the media and and the new structure that replaces the NCAA move to create a tier 1 league of top 60 or so teams....conferences as we now know them, would be reshuffled. How contractual ties muddy this scenario is anyone's guess.
The history, rivalries, and pageantry of college football, as we have come to love it, will be pitted against the lure of money and demands of the media.

I feel like this adds a little more smoke to the USC to the Big 10 rumor.Are we approaching the end of the road for the Pac-12 Networks as we know them?
Airing football games on the Pac-12 Networks may no longer make sense, which brings up some hard questions about those networks.awfulannouncing.com
