UConn to LIV, here we go!
No. Same problem with a g5 tournament. You're legitimizing your own split.

The two conferences will control close to 100% of CFB money. They need some dregs on the bottom to keep the Auburns and the Iowas happy with 8-4 records.

It's this right here. They can do these big money games and earn even more cash because after this season they'll change the CFP so that each conference gets 2-3 autobids each
We got to hope he stays with the Big 12.
SEC, Big Ten considering blockbuster scheduling agreement for college football's new frontier
Matt Hayes
USA TODAY NETWORK
The SEC and Big Ten are discussing a potential scheduling agreement that could lead to a significant increase in media rights revenue, further distancing the two super conferences from the rest of college football, four people with knowledge of the discussions told USA TODAY.
The people who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the conversations say the two super conferences could face off in as many as 12 to 16 regular-season nonconference games a year – or more – to determine the extent of the increase in media rights revenue.
The potential scheduling agreement is an answer to billions in lost revenue from the House legal case settlement of more than $2 billion to former players, and future revenue sharing with players of at least $20 million to $23 million annually beginning as soon as the 2025 season.
It’s also being done within an environment that clearly favors the two super conferences. Both have pulled away financially from the rest of the FBS conferences and would move further away with a nonconference scheduling agreement.
But the last thing the Big Ten and SEC want is the optics of collusion. It’s no coincidence that both brought legal teams to last week’s meetings to steer clear of those potential problems.

John, hate to disagree with someone I respect, but building a football stadium in Storrs is not only possible, it is needed!
Amazingly, 110,000 make it into Ann Arbor....not exactly the easiest place to get in and out of on a Tuesday.

Make that 4 bids each and a 14 team playoff. B1G and SEC champ get byes. ACC, Big 12 and G5 get one automatic bid each and there will be 3 at large open to any conference, thus the SEC and B1G could get more than 4 teams in.
I think ND might have to join the ACC to have a better shot at the playoffs.

Why don't they just merge and get it over with? They can divide up into divisions just like the NFL.SEC, Big Ten considering blockbuster scheduling agreement for college football's new frontier

Why even pretend at this point?
I'm hoping that somehow it forces the Big 12 to focus on basketball and adding UConn. They are getting pushed aside by the Big10 and the SEC.

Ding, ding.
Night be closer to the MLB model when the AL and NL had separate commisoners and slightly different rules.

My point was that Buffalo, arguably Midwest, is still basically an eastern city and locals probably have more cultural ties to Toronto than Akron. It wasn’t a fully formed though admittedly; my brain was saying A10 and figure it out in football, but the A10 is pretty bad now. My dream of a northeastern low end G5 is continually dashed!

I just dont know how the infrastructure can support it. It would be great, but they need new roads for 195 and 44 aren’t gonna do for football traffic.
Remember, it’s CT, everything is a PIA in this state.

interleague play killed that illusion of two distinct leagues .
As a kid you picked a side then argued who was better :
Williams vs Musial Hitter
Mantle vs Mays / Snyder CF
Rizzuto vs Reese SS
Ford vs Spahn Pitcher

They have six traffic lanes leaving the stadium. UConn would have one.

Lol, you have to be trolling. I refer you to virtually every football or conference realignment thread on this board ever. Blah, blah blah, blah, blah blah, six games a year, blah blah blah feathering traffic by tailgating, blah blah virtually very other school in the nation manages it without building a highway to the front gate… blah blah.

Plus, it's only about an 8 mile stretch on Route 195 from campus to say Electric Blue e.g. with plenty of real estate along the way. Easily make it a 3 or 4 lane road with one-way options during game day.
Regarding scheduling, it seems some P2 would still want or need to play your Okie State, Oregon State, Washington State, Cal, Florida State, etc.

I've been there. It is difficult in and out. But they have WAY more land, a golf course that people park on and it's a city.
I have been to dozens of stadiums and got stuck in traffic. Some are terrible (Rutgers awful) some are quite easy. But, they need just need to be able to build a traffic flow that can handle that influx and outflux. I am sure they can do it.
It's just money that isn't UConn's to spend. I am thinking 10 years might be the horizon to get this done.

Right. But these two are going in the opposite direction of MLB. They'll kill off the NCAA and absorb all the smaller conferences. Use them like pro wrestling jobbers for the main teams on each side.
