Latest expansion rumor…

[Jim14510]

unless you get a weird year with a lot of parity I'd be shocked if the Big 10 and SEC get less than 3 teams each in the playoff


I also believe that once this round of conference realignment is over we'll see a push for them to have their own playoff and leave the rest of the conferences behind

At least 3 each. Probably 9 or 10 of the 12.

Well, the area around Clemson has been infiltrated with a bunch of trash from Ohio who moved down there. So they need someone to root for in order to fit in with the locals down there.

The entire south has been infiltrated by them (and bitchiganders). Pry more tOSU fans in Charleston than either cocks or climpson fans

One of the FSU On3 guys posted some cryptic message that a B1G invite for UNC FSU and a third team that's not Miami (assuming Clempson) is in the works. All of the FSU fans say he's normally wrong about a lot.



Some other dude says there's a clause to break up the ACC GOR deal.





Reddit comment:
"Read an interesting take on this. Apparently there are two ways you can break one of these a Grant of Rights. Breach of contract or fraud...

FSU is going to claim "fraud" against former ACC commissioner Jack Swofford and the ACC... claiming revenue projections presented to the FSU BOT were grossly inaccurate and misleading, and that Florida State acted on these bad faith representations.

Swofford and Jordan knew the revenue projections were unrealistic yet assured the Board profits from a conference network would put the Seminoles on par with their SEC peers.

FSU thinks they can claim "fraud" and use that to break the GOR. Might be that Clemson and UNC could do the same..."

Florida State, North Carolina, Clemson, Oregon, Washington, Notre Dame and call it a fucking day.

Ah yes because one just shouts "fraud" and all the problems go away

Agree. He is doing a podcast tonight on some streaming channel to share his news. Said other than marrying his wife and having kids this is the highlight of his life. Wow.Just.Wow.

NUFaninWi has some serious issues. He should not be allowed to reproduce

FSU can place the ACC under citizens arrest for fraud in this case.

It absolutely is, but with a media twist: It's Fox/CBS/NBC lining up against ESPN. They're trying to stuff / keep ESPN in a regional box (ACC & SEC contracts) and go national with their multi-media broadcast consortium.

I really think that once these "brands" are settled and the B1G vs. SEC land grab is settled, the next frontier is the direct-to-consumer streaming package. That's probably a half-dozen years away (or more), but you can see the two mega conferences saying, "You want our content - pony up, CFB fan". And most of us will snap fingers quickly reaching for our wallets.

That's how I see it. Fox vs Disney, eventually. Leave the NCAA behind (for football), make their own rules and have their own playoffs with a college Super Bowl. It's been heading that way for a long time, still going to take awhile to get there. Probably 40+ some teams that don't want to share with the other 80+ teams. Just a matter of time.

While adding cal and Stanford don’t really move the needle big picture, it would be nice having two more cupcakes added. It’s already gonna be a murders row with the current/future big ten teams.

I can't help but wonder how continued decline of bundled cable is going to affect all of this long term. Thus far, it seems as though advertisers and in turn tv partners are happy to pay increasingly larger sums of money for a decreasing number of eyeballs. This seems like it can't go on forever so the Big Ten either has to set out to position itself like the NFL where it has such an attractive product that it can continue to deliver large viewership in the 18-49 demo even as that coincides with the increase with needing to deliver a larger rating, i.e. share of tv sets. Or, the Big Ten needs to start being forward looking in guarding against the risk that the floor drops out on the bundled cable networks if they lose their appetite for paying more money for less reach.

That is an overly wordy way of saying the choice of geographic population vs. brands in this next round of expansion seems to be very important

 

[HughJanus]

Starting to feel like all the other expansion cases where reports that a conference has been looking at expansion lead to a news break relatively quickly.

Stanford and Cal would be mistakes to add. neither of them gives a shit about sports
