Exactly what Fox and ESPN are thinking. See Joel Klatt's tweet from yesterday.

Their big assumption is that people will just give their eyeballs over to the Big 2. Maybe they're right. For me personally, I'm invested in college football because I'm invested in BYU. Take BYU out of the equation and I'm personally suddenly watching a lot less college football.

It is incredibly hard to see right now, in particular if you're team is outside SEC or Big 10, but the long term outlook for fans is a good one...We will look back on these times as the moves that shaped a better post-season, more quality non-con games, & stronger governance

Unless players like Apple or Netflix get involved. Heck CBS and NBC could make a difference as well especially if

It would be nice if a third party or two would get involved

Amazon has the NFL coming in so I could see them trying for college football

Problem is, I think ESPN and Fox are making mistakes

Will it though? I hate it for all those reasons, but the NFL does pretty well despite not having teams everywhere

So, what happens to other pro leagues? Is there really room for two?

You can't compare this to the NFL. The NFL is the top of the sport which is why people watch it. It is also in EVERY

Exactly which is why minor league baseball is not that interesting to the masses at least not like college football.

Except the millions of fans who's school just got the door slammed in their face

The only reason people watch sub par football (what CFB is) is because of the broad tie to alma maters

CSoul

That the power brokers can't see that is astounding

NFL is sooo much more interesting on a Macro level. I can watch it all Sunday

Yeah, he needs to shup up because that's stupid

As said above, if CFB tries to model themselves after the NFL it will fail absolutely miserably.

CSoul

7/6/22 12:52pm

Yep, there's already an nfl. Focus on what makes cab unique.

The difference? NFL has centralized leadership

Cougarclaw

At some point the SEC/B1G will appoint a head arbitrator between them

krindorr

almost like...an NFL commissioner?

NFL fans and College Football fans are different.

Well, I would, but I agree most wouldn't

and that's the point. You like Utah because your dad was an alumnus. But if BYU

You were probably provoking it then.

I don't think anyone can know how any of this will play out long term. They may

I had read TNT wants to get in to College Football, just not sure which brand

AudiS4

7/6/22 12:51pm

That is a gross over-simplification. There is way more at play than just what they want. I know our society
