Message: [QUOTE="billybud, post: 4037270, member: 3850"] Welll...to play the flip side... The spokespeople were very quick to point out that the alliance “is not about revenue"…WHY THE HELL NOT ? That’s what this whole thing is about. Revenue and trying to ensure your member schools can win a national championship. Maybe I'm just an old southern football guy on a rant.. But screw being unique, woke, caring more about academics etc. We’re talking about athletics here. More specifically football….just copy the SEC. Try to beat them at their own game. But instead we have these dorks talking about wanting to form an alliance to preserve academic excellence among athletes and talk about social matters and gender issues. I’m really hoping that they are just keeping things under wraps and they have a much better plan/vision but I’m not getting my hopes up. The main result, I think, will be an attempt to stick a monkey wrench in the SEC's/Notre Dame's plan to populate the playoff and to delay until the CFP contract comes up in 2025. Rather than ESPN walking with it, maybe have other bidders in a revamped format. [/QUOTE]
