What happened to the Flug/Dude lovefest from a few weeks ago?

What I see is some of them thar fightin' words.

This is like a twitter cat fight!

No, jostar1 is just saving the rest of us from having to follow these nitwits. These are "non-key tweets" aka "drivel".

How is jostar1 saving us from following these idiots when I would never be subjected to this bs if it weren't for jostar1? The only reason I would leave the BY is because someone completing lacking any common sense keeps posting what these idiots regurgitate day after day!

The only reason you are subjected to this is you keep clicking on the thread. STOP clicking on the thread.

@posas13 @Expansion_Crush @geoffmitchell Maybe Delany supports a 10 team CCG...as long as he gets his "Pod freedom" in the future.

JD 'I'm open to creativity and deregulation, but I'm not open to just a blank check to reorganize the regular season however you choose.'"

Greg Flugaur @flugempire · 12h 12 hours ago
I think what Delany is saying in my last tweet is Deregulation is good..he is interested..but no way on something like 2 top rank schools..

Greg Flugaur @flugempire · 12h 12 hours ago
...can meet in a CCG disregardless of their respective conference records. There will be no blank check on deregulation. Something has to..

Greg Flugaur @flugempire · 12h 12 hours ago
...be written up. So we wait on the exact legislation as it hits the Recomendation Committee later this Summer/Fall.

Greg Flugaur @flugempire · 12h 12 hours ago
@posas13 @theDudeofWV and others have been saying their is interest from B12 on taking top 2 ranked schools in Conf and having them in CCG

Greg Flugaur @flugempire · 12h 12 hours ago
@posas13 ...disregardless of thier conference records. If you read Delanys statement of today..I think he puts hole in that scenario...IMO

Greg Flugaur @flugempire · 11h 11 hours ago
But the most important statement from Jim Delany today was NO BLANK CHECK on Deregulation.

Greg Flugaur @flugempire · 11h 11 hours ago
@SpencerLeone @posas13 @Big12Conference True..true..but Delany/Scott some G5 schools and conferences might support if they get something..

Greg Flugaur @flugempire · 11h 11 hours ago
@SpencerLeone @posas13 @Big12Conference ...in return. We need to see the official written legislation. It has not been seen at this point

[SubbaBub]

Delany is correct on this. If the top two ranked teams play, it all but guarantees the winner a spot in the playoff based on the nature of polling even by the playoff committee.

No way JD allows the B12 to potentially trump his champ should the B1G CCG have a lower ranked team as the opponent based on tie breakers.

When you have 5 or 6 teams for 4 spots, the last best win will carry the day.

That's why 8-12 (10 is my personal wish) is the sweetspot for the CFP. It won't stay at 4 for much longer.

Of course it won't. Money to be made by expanding format. Isn't that really all that matters? (sigh)

@posas13 @Expansion_Crush @geoffmitchell The reason for expansion outside of 65 is simple...good economics. B1G is healthier at 14 vs 12.

Money is the underlying reason for almost everything, but politics plays its part too, and it's not a small part either.

As transparent as it may be, the CFP Powers-That-Be need an alternative justification than money to expand. They need a cover story to sell the public, other than greed.

The Dude is proof that fans ignore reality when it may not fit what their school needs. The Dude is such a huge B12 homer it's absurd. He wasn't before WVU joined, but now he has contacts in a league that honestly has no contacts itself within his state? No chance. The Big XII is the weakest league going forward and has a real problem, but he won't acknowledge it. Flug is correct in understanding how the landscape has changed. UConn Women's hoops, in a world where your sports network needs compelling content, is golden. It means nothing to the ACC or Big XII, but to the B1G it's several million a year by itself.

If the B1G moved to 20 schools and the PAC and/or SEC followed (or at least moved to 16), no way that the P5 does not changed to the P4. Just not enough value outside of the P5 right now to support a 20 team per conference without cannibalizing the ACC or XII.

 

[CL82]

Personally, I view their "fight" as WWF pre-fight banter. It is staged to generate interest. I want to see the Flug hit the Dude with a chair.

 

[Stinger92860]

Flug is dead wrong on this one. No way the dood has friends.

 

[TruDomGopher]

It is fun to watch when Flug and dude go at it--kinda like watching two bald men fighting over a comb.

[billybud]

Bob Bowlsby said in an interview....


The super-conferences concept … has largely been a media fabrication. I have heard no serious conversation among people who do this for a living that the super-conference concept has got any traction. It’s always dangerous when the media starts to interview the rest of the media, and I think that’s where the super-conference thing came from.

 

[itgoeslike]

Bowlsby is either clueless or spinning. . .either option highly plausible.
